~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CWLC is presenting two speakers in October in the 2008 teleconference series.

On Wednesday, October 8 at 1 PM EST, Kathy Lynn, BA. CCFE will
be discussing Child Discipline.... Steps to Success.

On Wednesday, October 29 at 1 PM EST, Bev Digout, BSc., BSW will be discussing Supporting Parent Educators.

Child Discipline... Steps to Success
"If we can't spank our kids what can we do?" When parents ask this
question, what is our answer? This presentation will cover the basics of child
discipline and the differences between discipline and punishment. Child
discipline helps children learn the rules, experience the consequences of their
behaviours (negative and positive) and develop an understanding of the
cision-making process. This presentation will give you an overview of a
discipline plan which will help you answer your client's parenting questions.

Kathy Lynn, BA. CCFE is Canada's leading speaker on parenting issues and
a bestselling author of two parenting books. Kathy's career includes stints
as a child protectionworker and director of a family services agency. She also
serves on the Repeal 43 Committee, which is seeking repeal of the law that
permits parents and teachers to strike children.

Supporting Parent Educators

Parent education is an important component to the healthy development of
children and families. Equally as important to this process is the support given
to parent educators. People providing family support and parent education
come from a variety of backgrounds. Defining 'who parent educators are' and
'what parent education is' are questions that require answers to effectively
provide support, training and enhanced recognition of the important role
parent education plays in the lives of families.

Bev Digout, BSc., BSW has worked in the areas of child protection, early
childhood and parent education for over 20 years as a social worker. Bev is
currently the coordinator of Parenting Education Saskatchewan, a project
of Family Service Saskatchewan that supports parent educators within the
province of Saskatchewan.
