From time to time we receive emails from folks just like you who are discovering just how revolutionary our content can be. We love hearing this — not just because it validates our materials but because it means lives are being changed. Our whole idea is to help people stay cool enough to handle any moment in the moment. We know that if they can do that, they can find the momentum they need to create great relationships. Great relationships, change lives, which transform communities, which, in turn, heal the world. So, we want to share with you some of the stories we get to hear — stories of life change, stories of transformation. This week’s story comes from the principal of an elementary school who believes the ScreamFree approach can be applied to every parenting style.

I had seen Hal speak previously and had the pleasure of reading ScreamFree Parenting and applying the principles in my own home.  After seeing the newfound calm and happiness it created, I knew we had to bring Hal in to speak at the school.  The ScreamFree message applies to every parent – in every situation.  It teaches us that we always have a choice – stay calm or freak out – and staying calm always creates the better outcome.  As President of the PTA, if I could sponsor just one event to help the parents of my school, and in turn the kids, bringing Hal to speak would be it.
