You Are the Expert When It Comes to Parenting Your Kid
I wondered what would Family Empowerment Network meets Oprah look like? Oprah asked people to share their dream, their passion and turn it into a TV show that would be on her network. What would it be like to have millions of empowered parents around the whole country, all focusing their support beyond their own family, to others families too. So I created a little video for the Oprah contest which you can all get a glimpse of.
CHECK OUT: Believe It Parents: You Are the Expert. Have fun watching. You can even VOTE for or COMMENT on my show to actually be an Oprah show. Contest ends July 3.
Discussion:
Here is the show:
Believe it Parents: You Are the Expert!
The dream behind our show is to empower parents to believe in themselves so they can build a community where our kids can thrive. We believe that parents know what works best for their kids. They don’t need experts, they need inspiration, insights, and each other. With just a little encouragement to pay attention to what is working or not, to take care of themselves and to discuss parenting issues in safe spaces, parents learn from and support each other. Every show we will model authentic, open discussion with a group of real parents on topics you can take to your community. Every week, we’ll have a tip for change, explore the values behind behavior in our communication challenges, and even have a chance for you to share your best parenting idea. On this show- we believe it. Now you need to on Believe it Parents: You Are the Expert. Tell your friends about us and start building your community right now!

If I knew then what I know now,
I would have done video blogs before now to spread the word about how parents can support each other to prevent problems.

Hi! I’m Dr. Kathy. Welcome to my website! Although Family Empowerment Network is formally closed, we want to keep these resources available to you. Our belief is that parents are the most wise and intuitive about what is best for their children. However, parents sometimes need the support of effective, timeless, compassionate parenting information and strategies. On this website you will find our three parenting books on boys, girls, and kids’ social lives and ten years of monthly newsletter articles. In addition, a powerful, under-recognized resource is the support of other parents. Here you will find how to use our books as discussion guides for monthly self-led parenting groups. One last resource: I am still available to give talks and workshops.
