Parenting with
Emotional Intelligence
and Love
Self-Paced Online Video Course
with Shawn Edwards
Learn about fostering emotional intelligence and love in your families. This course helps you to understand yourself and what behaviors you may be inviting from your children and also understand the need behind their behaviors. Once you understand the need and begin to respond to the need, the undesirable behaviors begin to dissipate and the harmony and cooperation in your family begins to blossom. Learn to empower and encourage and enjoy parenting!
