“Parenting for Excellence: Helping Our Children Live From the Heart and Find Their Calling”

Mondays, March 5-26, 2012

2 p.m. CST

Let’s face it. The pace of life is rapidly increasing and we often find ourselves caught up in a rat race that squeezes the joy out of living.

Young parents are paying consultants to prepare resumes for toddlers so they can get into the right preschools, which lead to the right elementary schools, which funnel into college prep high schools, which hopefully leads to a top college berth. What often happens in the process?

Young children are scheduled every minute of every day
Parents pile activity upon activity thinking (wrongly) that it will make their kids more successful
Life grows increasingly stressful
Parents grasp at straws not knowing how to help their children
Mom feels like a chauffeur
Dad feels like an ATM machine
Family connections grow weak
Health is often compromised

It doesn’t have to be this way!

I wouldn’t have the courage to teach a class like this if I hadn’t lived through it on both sides of the fence.

You see, I grew up as a Resume Builder. I did it all. In fact, I’m embarrassed to share with you that I lived a life so out of control. In high school I was:

High School Valedictorian
Student Body President
Local and County 4-H President
All-State Athlete
Columnist for the local newspaper
Actor in the community theater troupe
Musician – played piano, guitar, and sang in a music group
Farm kid who drove a tractor all summer and cared for livestock

It gets worse!

In college, I was a member of no less than 16 organizations, president of two, and officer in ten. I was a member of 30 committees, 17 of which I chaired. I founded several organizations, met monthly with college deans in an advisory capacity, and traveled across the state representing my school. I was involved in college sports for one year, was the first Truman Scholar at my school, and was hired as a research team member while still an undergraduate (which was unheard of at the time). The plan was to build a watertight resume and I did that.

I came out of those grueling years highly decorated, but found that it was empty.

I had few close friends, no time to develop my inner life, and my faith was damaged. I didn’t know my siblings and I was utterly exhausted. But I plunged forward into a career and received many awards there, even juggling children and my career for about 6 years. My health finally broke and I came home full time to try to re-build my marriage, my relationship with my tiny children, and my life.

I had big dreams for my young children, but I would not allow them to duplicate the craziness of my youth.

I took some huge risks with my family that violated popular wisdom:
My children pursued very few activities
We based their activities on what needed to happen in their life, not what colleges would be looking for
Our family time was the most important thing to us
We placed a premium on getting plenty or rest

The funny thing was that my laid-back children were much more successful than I was!

Entry into highly competitive high school programs
Acceptance at Ivy League Schools
Hundreds of Thousands of Dollars in Scholarships for College and Graduate School
Entry into Specialized College Programs

And you know what? They are happy, well-adjusted young adults who value their faith, their family, and their friends.

You need to know that I’ve been working with kids for over 30 years. As a Youth Development Specialist with one of my degrees in Family Relations and Child Development, I spent a decade helping 4-H students win state and national awards. I’ve worked with homeschool students for 18 years helping them develop public speaking and leadership skills.

Now I help families all over the world figure out how to lead more meaningful lives by understanding the hearts of their children and then guiding them to live authentically and intentionally. The child who truly lives from the heart is capable of amazing things.

I know kids and I’d like to share my secrets with you!

This class is especially designed for families with young children. In fact, the younger your student, the more you will benefit from learning how to make proactive decisions about how they spend their time. But don’t take my word for it. Listen to what class participants have to say:

“This is a class I wish I had taken when my son was 10 years old!! Being a person who continuously searches out information to improve the education of my children, this is honestly the most informative, thought-provoking, straightforward, detailed class I have ever taken. Not only does Jeannette cover an extensive amount of information, but she does it with such care and generosity. If you’re looking for an easy road, you won’t find it here! Jeannette will challenge you to set the bar high for your children to be all that The Lord created them to be. Jeannette’s services have provided much guidance down a path that was complicated and confusing to us. This class has truly been refreshing water for a weary soul.” ~Stefanie

“I have earnestly been praying over my children this week and God is using this class to change my heart. I can see that for many years I measured my success as a parent with the academic and social success of my children. I want to use a different measuring stick.” ~Debbie

“This class with Jeannette Webb has been thought provoking, enlightening, and inspirational. Jeannette’s depth and breadth of experience in counseling parents and students gives her a well of wisdom and practical ideas to draw from. Jeannette communicates sage advice using clear, thoughtful concepts accompanied by real world examples to help us envision how to put them into practice. I appreciate her friendly, approachable manner and sincere desire to serve her clients well.” ~Sue

I’ve been through this process so many times – moms experience overwhelming relief to have found someone who understands, who has been there and done that. I’ve worked with profoundly gifted kids who excel at everything and students with normal intelligence that have a vivacity and sparkle that warm my heart. I’ve assisted LD kids, 2e (twice-exceptional) kids, science geeks, and ballerinas.

I’d love to partner with you to find the heart of your child!

For only $97 you can begin the process of understanding what it takes to help your children develop their gifts, lead a relaxed life and still be successful.

Isn’t it time to get this figured out for your child?

NOTE: Please register an email you check frequently. All information pertaining to the course will be sent there. Thank you! It is an honor to serve you.

Blessings,

Jeannette Webb
