    Free Workshops for Parents & Teachers

    of Intense Children
    10 Secrets to Stress-Free Living

    Parents
    Do you need help calming your explosive household? Tired of yelling at, negotiating with and bribing your child? Do you want your child to take responsibility for his homework, morning routine and chores?

    Teachers
    Are you frustrated by students who fidget, constantly need to be redirected and distract others? Do you have a handful of students who demand all your time? Let’s turn students who are distractions into classroom leaders.

    Join us for a humorous, practical workshop with best-selling author and nationally-recognized expert Kirk Martin, who has trained over 22,000 parents and teachers. Based in D.C., Celebrate Calm specializes in working with intense children, including families affected by AD/HD, Anxiety, Sensory issues, Aspergers, Autism, ODD and OCD.

    Martin will expose 5 common myths and provide practical strategies to:
    • Create a Stress-Free home—eliminate yelling, arguing and whining.
    • Help improve focus, attention and behavior in school.
    • Celebrate positives, build your child’s confidence and restore hope.
    • Create stress-free discipline and homework time.

    Martin will explain why your kids are bossy, anxious, and easily overwhelmed; sabotage friendships, demand fairness and say, “I’m bored”; like to argue, fidget, make noises or chew; have difficulty writing, sleeping and maintaining eye contact. Medication and nutrition will be addressed as well.

    The following Workshops are FREE to the community. Teachers, parents, grandparents, school staff and all caregivers are encouraged to attend.
