SIX COMMON HOME EDUCATION TROUBLES --- WHICH DO YOU WANT TO OVERCOME?

Are you dealing with any of these issues?
    * Fidgeting
    * Not paying attention, daydreaming
    * Angry Outbursts, meltdowns, or shut downs
    * Distractions
    * Disorganization
    * Not retaining what they've learned

You can overcome one or all of them! ....Using Sensory Integration
techniques that you can learn through our teleconference, you will
learn how to help your child succeed, control their temper, pay
attention and get organized!

I have tried to reach as many home educators as I could through our
ministry and special needs school... with workshops and audio tapes on
this topic. Yet, there are so many who need this information, I had to
find a better way to provide this information to as many families as
possible!

This is How it can Help YOU!

    * Why Does my Child Fidget? - - Learn about Sensory Integration and
why it is important for us to fidget!

    * Learn to be a Sensory Motor Detective!- - Identify what you do to
stay alert and focused, how you control your nervous system and don't
even know it!

    * Organization Skills! - Learn why your child can't clean the room
and what you can do to help him!

    * Learn how to stop angry Outbursts!- - Understand 'fight or
flight' and the levels of adrenaline and cortisol and how they effect us!

    * They remember what they Learn! - Learn practical activities to
help your child retain what they have learned!

    * Self-Regulation - Learn how to teach your children to
self-regulate their nervous system and overcome one or all of the six
major issues of home educators!

    * Avoid Distractions! - Learn how to help your child avoid
distractions!

Here's how this Teleconference can help you! Learn to use fidgeting to
help your child focus better. Find out what triggers your child's
outbursts and teach him how to gain control. Learn how to cut down on
distractions and get the most from your school time. Help your child
with organizational skills. Be a sensory motor detective by learning
what techniques work for you and your children! Help your child
remember what they learn. Teach your children to regulate their nervous
system to overcome the SIX Common Home Education Troubles!

Not only will this teleconference help you, you can listen to it any
time day or night, for a week in your pajamas! You don't have to attend
during the live session, however, if you do you will get an opportunity
to talk with Christie after the training! Our sessions will be every
Tuesday at 1:00 PM CST for 8 weeks starting March 20th and lasting
through May 8th, 2007. But remember, you don't have to be there live,
you can listen anytime during the week until the next workshop.

    * You will receive the workbook for this teleconference as a free
download.
    * Eight Hours of Sensory Integration Training
    * Theory and Practical Activities to apply at home
    * How to teach your child to use the activities to self-regulate
    * Practical weekly assignments to apply what you have learned each week

Buy today and get an early bird discount of 20% off! Plus bonus gifts
worth $230.00! This special offer will not last long, so take advantage
of it today!

Similar seminars cost hundreds of dollars! This eight hour
teleconference, if done in a one day workshop, would only reach a few
people and cost at least $200 per person. However, providing it in a
teleconference format allows you to take advantage of deep discounts
and cost reductions. Plus, you get to 'come as you are' and if you miss
the conference, you can still listen to it any time of the day or night
at your convenience for the next 7 days until the next conference date!
Now that's a bargain!

So, how much discount will you get? Well, we are able to provide this
conference for HALF the price!
That's Right! $100.
But if you order today, you can get an additional discount of 20% at a
total cost of $80.00! ... unbelievable offer! 
We want to reach as many home educators as possible! Get your discount
