YVONNE GODFREY SHARES HER WISE WORDS WITH PARENTS

"Parents need to focus less on enforcing rules and more on developing their kids' independence if they want to help them handle real-world pressures", says family coach Yvonne Godfrey.

Yvonne Godfrey - parenting guru, award-winning author, speaker, media personality and founder/director of MIOMO ('Making It On My Own') will be joining us in Hawke’s Bay for a special parents’ evening, next Wednesday.

Yvonne will share her expert advice on how to 'Raise Independent Tweens and Teens' and help parents discover:

- How to stop the nagging and gain co-operation
- Parenting traps and how to avoid them
- How to develop resilient kids

This is a community event suitable for parents, caregivers and educators - tickets available now.

Date: Wednesday, 12 June
Venue: The Blyth Performing Arts Centre, Iona College
Time: 7:30 - 9:00PM
