Ultimate Parenting Weekend


Today’s fast paced, media-driven world confuses children’s minds about what is important for their health and happiness. Additionally, parents are highly stressed with work and personal obligations and become disheartened when they can't fully meet the demands of family life. The purpose of the UPW is to teach parents how to use their authority and influence to create mutually respectful relationships. By nurturing and integrating the values of all family members, a household of cooperation, not competition is attained.

We'll address how to advocate for your children in the educational, medical and legal systems. What makes this program the "Ultimate" is that it focuses on the values and leadership of the parents, not on unpredictable parenting theories, unattainable expectations or unnatural manipulations of the children. The UPW is especially effective for parents who have challenging children that are defiant, destructive or depressed.

While successful divorced co-parenting may seemingly be impossible, it can actually be done!
