Dear Moms, Dads and Caregivers,
I remember when my parents got divorced. I was in college and my younger brother was around 13 years old and lived predominantly with my mother. I saw how disrespectfully he treated her and how frustrated and angry she appeared to be most of the time.
At that time, I prayed that I wouldn’t end up being a single mother raising teenaged boys alone. I was sure the only thing a teenaged boy respected was physical strength. By the time they realized they were stronger than their mothers, the mothers lost all influence.
Guess what happened??? When by sons were 13 and 15 years-old, my husband died of cancer and I had to raise them alone.
Initially, things were totally out of control. My husband had been the disciplinarian in the home and I was the total pushover. I was the understanding parent who was as permissive as my husband was strict. You might say together we balanced each other out but imagine what happened when he was no longer there. Chaos!
Does this story or something similar sound familar?
All I can say is thank God for Empowerment Parenting. It truly saved my life and probably the lives of my children. In order to successfully navigate the dangers of the adolescent years, teens require a healthy balance of discipline, love, respect and support.

Are you currently a parent, step-parent or someone responsible for the parenting of a teenaged child? |
|
Concerned about keeping them safe while they navigate this dangerous period in their lives? |
|
Concerned about maintaining a positive relationship with your child throughout these upcoming years? |
|
Do you sometimes wonder who your child is? |
|
Does punishment seem ineffective with your child? |
|
Do you believe that with today’s laws, there is no way to effectively discipline your child? |
|
Do you like learning new things? |
|
Do others come to you for advice about their teenage children and you would like some additional information to provide? |
|
Are you someone who simply wants to maintain the already positive relationship you have with your children? Maybe you simply like to attend seminars and are always looking for cutting edge information. Pick one, pick ‘em all, whatever your reason, whatever the motivation… |
Many parents, when faced with a child going through a difficult period, will ask, “Why do I need to change? I’m not the one with the problem.” In effect, that question is all wrong! Who is it with the problem? Does the child come to the parent and say, “I really think I need some help to better control my behavior. I’m a little out of control!” I don’t know about you, but those were never words uttered in my house, although I believe they were certainly true at times.
Who’s the one with the problem? Who’s the one experiencing discomfort with the situation? I’m not asking who is “misbehaving”; I’m asking who is in the most distress over the events that exist? You are---the parent. That’s good. Now that problem ownership has been identified, the next question is fairly simple.
Whose behavior can you control? That’s right. Whose behavior are you able to change? If you were able to change your child’s behavior, you probably wouldn’t be reading this letter right now. Sure, you may be able to raise the stakes or make the punishment so severe, that your child will do what you want, but at what cost? What does it do to your relationship? Also, what do you think he or she does when you aren’t around to see? And if you are still holding fast to the belief that you can control you child’s behavior, have you ever attempted to feed a baby who didn’t want to be fed? Enough said!
Whose behavior can you control? That’s right. Yours! So, if you have a problem situation, what is the most logical thing to do? Again, you already know the answer! Decide what YOU can do differently to affect change in the situation. You can certainly keep doing what you’ve been doing but you are likely to continue to get the same results. How are they working for you so far? How much longer do you want to keep getting the results you’ve been getting? That’s the reason you need to look at changing what you are doing.
When you do, you tap into that awesome power within you. Your power source comes from focusing your energies on the things you can control---your own thoughts and behaviors. When you do that, you can achieve tremendous results but you have to give up the notion that you can force others to do your bidding. Once you do, there’s no telling the effects the adjustments in your own behavior will make.
Give it a try. What do you have to lose?

Why should YOU listen to me???
BECAUSE, I have been where you are!!!!
Chances are you haven’t heard of me but my name is Kim Olver, MS, NCC, LPC, RTC! All these initials aren’t worth a thing unless you know that I have been teaching choice theory since 1988 and have raised two boys alone through their teenage years.
I have taught and/or trained hundreds of people, many of whom were parents. I worked in the field of foster care, helping foster parents gain the skills they needed to master that difficult task of raising someone else’s children, who had most often been through some incredibly challenging circumstances in their young lives.
I know about parenting. I have extensively studied the programs that are available and have created my own method of parenting called Empowerment Parenting.. This is a method that helps parents regain or strenghten their sense of personal power and also helps children increase their sense of power responsibly--in a way that doesn't attempt to take power from anyone else.
There is no one thing that works with all children, which is the attraction of Empowerment Parenting. There is no cookie cutter mold. Empowerment Parenting treats every parent and every child as an individual. If you have more than one child, I am certain that you already know, what works for one, may be completely ineffective with another. Empowerment Parenting provides an explanation for this. AND, BEST OF ALL, I can SHARE with you the information you need to maximize your effectiveness as a parent!
There is an exciting way to parent today’s child. It is being taught worldwide and is called Empowerment Parenting. More punishment, control and coercion is NOT the answer, neither is abdicating control to your children.
We cannot continue to parent our teens the way we did when they were younger children, or even the way our parents parented us. The world is different! Children are different! If we do not learn new innovations in parenting, our efforts will likely be ineffective at best, and actually destructive at their worst.
Come to this conference and learn about the inherent conflict between parents and their children, as well as ways to circumvent it. You can reasonably insure your child’s safety and still maintain a positive relationship.
In this workshop, parents and teens will not spend the majority of their time together.The focus will be more educational than therapeutic. Marcus C. Gentry will be working with the teens with his R.E.S.P.E.C.T. program, while Ms. Olver will present Empowerment Parenting concepts to the parents. Then, Ms. Olver will present the teens with explanation of Empowerment Parenting and teach them Choice Theory, an explanation of human behavior; while Mr. Gentry enlightens the parents to his R.E.S.P.E.C.T. curriculum. The R.E.S.P.E.C.T. Program’s mission is to provide World Wide Motivation through Empowerment and to provide essential character-building tools.
At a point later in the weekend, parents will be reunited with their teens and learn a negotiation method that will help each party get more of what they want in a way that’s fair and nonconfrontational. It's just one weekend out of your life to learn how to create the caring, supportive, and protective relationship that you want with your adolescent.
Once you learn the things you will need to know about yourself and your child in this workshop, you’ll realize that it isn’t so difficult, after all, to relate to your teen, still stay the parent, and keep your child safe at the same time. Being the parent of a teen doesn’t have to be burdened with frustration, conflict and worry. It can be fun, creative and relatively simple!

No FRILLS, No FUSS, No HYPE.
Just the information…and the KNOWLEDGE You NEED
to help YOU SUCCEED as a PARENT.
Think about it, parenting is probably the most important job you’ll ever undertake and the one for which you are the least prepared and trained. All we have is the model of how our parents parented us. Even if you were lucky enough to have a stupendous example of parenting, what was successful thirty or forty years ago, may no longer be effective because the context in which we are operating as parents is vastly different than the one from which our parents operated.
You update your computer programming don’t you? Why wouldn’t you update your parenting skills, as well? What worked for your five year-old, will probably not work as well for your 15 year-old. Choice Theory provides the answers.

ABOUT THE FACILITATORS:
Mr. Marcus Gentry is the founder and president of A Mastermind Creation and has developed the dynamic R.E.S.P.E.C.T. Academy, which has been helpful in preparing teens to not only survive but also to be successful in our society today. He has over 20 years of experience in drug and alcohol treatment and helping others reach their full potential.
I am a certified instructor of Choice Theory, a new psychology of personal freedom upon which this program is based. I am also a licensed professional counselor and relationship coach, with over 20 years of experience in helping people relate better both personally and professionally.
Marcus Gentry and myself will host this exciting conference. We are both committed to helping parents and children get along better and elevate their level of cooperation and respect in their relationships.
So….
Isn't It Time to Take THIS Opportunity?
How many times have you done something and said to yourself afterward,
“That wasn’t so bad, why did I WAIT so long to do that?”
You may be waiting for “This too to pass” and eventually it will. But how do you want to spend the time while you are waiting? It can be so much better than it is now!
Five reasons why you'll be eternally thankful that you're taking action right now:
1. Save Money! The next time this workshop is offered the price will be $1200. You can attend this workshop NOW for $774!
2. Save Time! The task of raising your teenager is not going to magically get easier. Don’t waste precious time to learn the secrets of negotiating this time period without the aggravation!
3. No Risk! I have a 150% risk-free guarantee. If you aren't completely with the wealth of information you and your child obtain from this workshop, then simply email me and I will refund 100% of your registration and an additional 50% for time and travel expenses.
4. Your child will begin to share information with you! When employing Empowerment Parenting, your child will know that you are supporting them in getting what they need and will begin to see you as an ally instead of the enemy. Because you have more information, you will be better able to help your child avoid the trap of dangerous situations.
5. You will be able to teach your child the skills he/she needs to make critical decisions gradually on his/her own! Empowerment Parenting is about helping children assess the pros and cons of decisions with which they are faced. You gradually add more freedom, as they gain responsible behaviors to manage that freedom. In so doing, your child will learn to make good decisions, while still having your support at home.
I have learned two very important things in my work as a parent and with the other parents I have known:
1. Parents and teens both function better when they can maintain a positive relationship throughout the adolescent years.
2. As a parent, you will be better able to protect your teen, when your teen trusts you enough to share what is honestly going on with him or her.
So, Take the First Step,
It's Time to Stop Wishing
YOU WERE GETTING ALONG BETTER
And Take
Some Action Now!

I know of people who try to be better parents by reading books. This is a good start but why not attend a workshop where you and your teen could be introduced to innovative ideas in parenting and self-respect that will dramatically improve your relationship?
The Paybacks From Having a More Harmonious Relationship with Your Teen Are Numerous
If You Don't Take This Workshop as your next step in this process, It Could Cost You EVEN MORE in Unhappiness,
Lack of Cooperation
and Respect, Excessive Worry,
Poor Health, Risky Behavior from your Child, Etc., Etc.!!!
...So Why INVEST in Learning these Concepts when Everyone Else just seems to be Getting By?
Why Not Simply Put in Your Time Like Everyone Else????
BECAUSE it REALLY DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE!!!!!!
|
Your child will be willing to confide in you about important matters. |
|
You will have the opportunity to discuss dangerous situations objectively without lecturing your child. |
|
Your child will learn to make decisions that are in his or her best interest.
|
|
Your life through your child’s adolescent years will be more peaceful and satisfying. |
|
You will have the luxury of worrying less about the safety of your child. |
|
Your child will recognize your support and your concern. He or she may not immediately thank you for it but your discussions will not become a war zone, either.
|
|
AND, It’s relatively INEXPENSIVE!!!!! |
So unless you want to throw away more money on more books that gather dust and make you feel guilty because you don’t crack their covers and if you do, you find it difficult to implement the ideas within them, you need this workshop to move you forward in your relationship!
I'm not even asking full price for the workshop. This is the first time I am offering this combination program, so you can be one of the first to attend for over $400 less than what the price will be next time. So what do you have to lose???
SO HURRY!!!! Don’t wait one more day!

150% Satisfaction Guarantee
“Wow, This is a REALLY Small Investment!
So What's The Catch?”
Well, it's really quite simple. I’m interested in helping as many people as possible get along better with the important people in their lives. I know that relationships are the most important thing we have in this world and when they are working well, we can accomplish so much more than when we are consumed by the inadequacies we have in maintaining satisfying relationships with the ones we love.
I care deeply about children and their struggles and can totally relate to the lack of direction parents have for helping their children navigate the difficult times in their lives. Many parents aren’t even aware of the things their children are dealing with because their children have stopped communicating with them. Empowerment Parenting is the bridge that helps parents and children heal their relationship wounds. So, why should you believe me, that I care, I mean? Well, consider this….
I met Kim Olver at a time of crisis for my family. My eighteen year old son was spiraling into angry, self-destructive and risky behavior, and in our fear, my husband and could not agree about “what to do.” Reading William Glasser’s For Parents & Teenagers I immediately understood why our past efforts, including lectures, rules, punishments, and even requiring our son to see a therapist, had failed. Yet applying the new Choice Theory approach was not something I could consistently do from a book. Kim became my personal guide to understanding and applying Choice Theory to some stressful and even frightening situations. Kim was truly wonderful. She was very open and willing to do whatever was needed to help me feel comfortable and build trust. For example, Kim willingly drove over an hour to our home to meet the whole family and to begin our relationship on a face-to-face basis. I followed up with her over the phone and through e-mail, and was always sustained by her warm attention and genuine caring.
Although Kim’s positive, yet down-to-earth personality was a major factor in my feeling so comfortable, essential to me was her knowledge and ability to apply Choice Theory. I would bring up practical problems, and she could frame them in ways that I could see several potential choices and their implications. Sometimes I would be flooded by emotion—usually fear or anger—and Kim would remind me what choices I was making by feeling emotionally engulfed. Perhaps most useful was Kim’s ability to help me re-phrase the words I wanted to say to my family, to avoid critical, nagging and controlling statements. She really knows the language of Choice Theory, and can suggest applications for any situation. Yet I never felt that Kim held herself in any position of authority. She shared parts of her own story and struggles as a parent, which helped me to bond with her and learn from her example.
My goal was to help my son by building a more positive relationship, when initially there was almost nothing positive going on. Kim provided me a piece of ground to stand on (Choice Theory), and with her help I was able to expand that base and to change my behavior. That meant deciding what I really did or did not want to do in regard to each of my son’s issues. This process took much pressure off me and the relationship, which has improved considerably. I credit the year I invested with Kim as my coach, in which I learned a new language, behavior and way of life that has truly made a difference. I cannot recommend Kim highly enough, and I encourage anyone who thinks they are out to choices to begin working with Kim through her Coaching for Excellence program.

“Because of you and your training, I now realize the most important thing is to have
my daughter talking to me through her teenage years so that I am aware of the things she is going through and can help her as best as I am able.”
---Denise
“I am amazed at how easy this really is. My wife and I had been fighting with our 10 year-old around bedtime for years. After taking your workshop and applying the concepts, bedtime is no longer an argument. My wife and I get what we need and so does our daughter.”
---Steve
“I can’t thank you enough for teaching me about the basic needs and that all behavior is purposeful. I now understand that my daughter is only trying to get her needs met in the best way she knows how. I don’t take her behavior so personally anymore.
---Linda
“It was amazing! As soon as I gave up trying to control my children into doing what
I wanted them to do, our conflict totally diminished!”
---Dave
“Thanks to learning about Empowerment Parenting, I am now able to negotiate
with my teen about the things she wants to do without every conversation turning into a fight. It has really reduced the tension around here. Thanks.”
---Serena
“Since attending your workshop, I have completely stopped punishing my children.
Instead, we talk about what it was that they wanted and then, together, we make a plan for them to get what they wanted in a more appropriate way. I never yell anymore and my kids tell me so much more about their lives than they used to. It’s truly been wonderful.”
---Kim
I have taken my MANY years of experience in the field of foster parenting, combined it with over 15 years of teaching Choice Theory, and my own 21 years of parenting to provide you with a dynamite workshop, answers to frequently asked questions and a parenting method, Empowerment Parenting, that is tried and true!
