"Kathleen’s presentation to the PTA was one of the best we’ve had in a long time. In her How to Parent Like a Prius talk, Kathleen offered practical advice to parents on how to replenish their inner resources by evaluating their activities based on two parameters: whether it feeds your soul or feeds your family. After Kathleen’s talk, I heard many positive comments from parents and know that her recommendations positively influenced our community."

How to Parent Like a Prius
In “How to Parent Like a Prius, Kathleen teaches parents how to find ways to slow down and step on the brakes so they can replenish their internal batteries, build their resources, and have more clean energy to focus on what matters most – just like what happens when you’re driving a hybrid car. In this interactive presentation, parents learn a self-coaching technique called the 5Ds to manage the endless list of chores, responsibilities, obligations, and other demands on their time so they can ease up on the gas pedal of their lives and recharge their inner batteries.
