Course Description
John Rosemond balances informative, thought-provoking content with a lively sense of humor. His intention is to help parents properly assume their rightful authority and correct outstanding disciplinary issues. Today’s society has put additional expectations on parents which have often not been in the best interest of the child or the family. This has resulted in children not understanding or being comfortable in new situations, such as the dental office. John will teach course participants how to use “Alpha Speech” to help.
