Things are changing here at Shared Ventures and as a result our April newsletter did not make it out. SORRY!

We are calling the May newsletter our “transitional newsletter.” It’s a little bit like adding an addition to your house. Just when you think you’ve got it right, someone comes up with a great idea and you are back to the drawing board. I can’t give you any more details, but I can say in June, both the newsletter and the website will have a fresh, cohesive new look. Thank you for all of your support. We appreciate you all.

Please read our recent announcements (First Parenting On Track One-Day Workshop and New Parenting On Track Web Site…,) articles (Mommy Guilt? Say What?) and updates (Sibling Rivalry) below.

Be well,

Vicki

As you may know by now, subscribing to our newsletter definitely has its benefits! One of those benefits is our free Tele Class series, which we started offering just this year. In January, Amy Lew spoke with parents about how to make the most of their family meetings, and in February, Porter Knight got over one hundred listeners charged up and inspired to get ORGANIZED!

Our next FREE Tele Class on March 24 features Certified Financial Planner Christine Moriarty, and you definitely don’t want to miss it!

Whenever I first talk to parents about teaching children as young as 3 about money management, I hear sighs of exasperation and see much eye-rolling as I look out into the audience. However, Christine and I both agree that this is an important topic that deserves a robust conversation. We’ve spoken often about money management and young children, as well as the changing face of finances in today’s families. By joining us for this free Tele Class, you can hear straight from Christine herself her thoughts on money management for today’s family.

So what have you been waiting for? If you haven’t yet subscribed to our newsletter, take this opportunity and sign up below.

This past September Shared Ventures rolled out a new format for its “Parenting On Track” program – a series of 4 weekly live classes combined with 2 support tele-classes and a brand new workbook.

The live classes, each clocking in at 2 hours, focus on the development of respectful, cooperative relationships between parents and children, and include visual aids, handouts, and question and answer segments.

“But what if additional questions arise after the live classes are over?” . . .

That’s where the support tele-classes come in – they provide parents with a forum to ask the questions that will inevitably pop up once they start putting the concepts they’ve learned into practice. They’ll get the guidance they need to incorporate the techniques learned in the live classes into their families’ daily lives – all from the comfort of their own homes.
