Loving Families, Sustainable Futures
This is a 1 - 1.25 hour program designed to be given to larger groups such as moms' clubs or church groups. It gives a basic overview of Humane Education as it applies to parents and caretakers of young children, including a brief discussion of the issues, an examination of the five elements of humane parenting, and some simple but effective ways to incorporate these ideas into your lifestyle starting NOW. We also give some simple activities that can be done at home with young children, as well as a reading list for anyone interested in learning more about any of the topics discussed. A significant portion of the program is devoted to discussion, so that parents and caretakers can talk about any specific concerns and share their own strategies for incorporating humane parenting into their lives.
Humane Parenting 101
This is a one-day
interactive workshop designed for parents and caretakers.
Highly experiential, this workshop will help attendees examine
in some detail the issues of human rights, consumerism, environmentalism
and animal protection and the way they are all tied intimately
together. We will discuss what exactly it means to raise a
"humane" child, and we will look closely at how each of the
five elements of humane parenting helps us to accomplish that.
After practicing some activities that parents and caretakers
can use at home with their children, we will spend the afternoon
looking at our own lifestyles, thinking about what we already
do well and sharing those strengths with the other participants,
identifying areas where we would like to improve, and developing
personal strategies for achieving our goals. Lastly, we will
discuss some of the obstacles we face as we try to incorporate
these ideas into our own lives and some of the approaches
that we can use to overcome them.
I can also custom
design a program for your group. Topics I have facilitated
in the past include positive parenting, nonviolent communication,
animal welfare, and consumerism. If you have a specific topic
in mind, just let me know!

was very inspiring. Before hearing her talk I ws very
overwhelmed with the idea of humane parenting and thought
it would be too big of a change for our family. It made
me realize how easy it is to make changes in our daily
lives." - Whitney, mother of one |

| "Kelly's candid
approach made this presentation so enjoyable! She offered
real-life ideas and examples of how parents can transform
the way they think about the world, and more importantly,
how we can help our children to appreciate the wonder
and beauty here on Earth. I highly recommend this talk
to all parents, educators, and caregivers." - Margaret, mother of three |
