"Sandy recently gave a speaking marathon in Ponca City. As an elementary principal, I encouraged my parents to attend her evening parenting seminar. The two hours flew by! Sandy was interesting, told funny stories and helped parents understand the importance of being consistent with logical consequences. Parents were able to relate to Sandy's real life experiences and most importantly she was able to answer questions from the audience. I was impressed that she stayed late to talk in small groups and even individually. I was also able to attend a half-day seminar for teachers, counselors and others from youth oriented positions on "Enhancing Children's Self-Esteem." I found the topic very relevant yet different from what I
had heard the previous evening. Bringing many together throughout the community gave us a
chance not only to meet but to discuss similar challenges. I endorse having Sandy McDaniel
to your community." |
| "I learned so many things that I can use in every
aspect of my life. You are easy to understand and I like that you like it when we ask

because of what they learn from you --mine definitely is!" Adrianne (teenager) |
| " If you would like to get up one morning knowing you
have the necessary skills and understanding to raise your children without harming them
emotionally, run, don't walk, to this seminar! You will laugh endlessly as you discover
how to parent children who are responsible, reliable, resilient and who have a strong
sense of self-esteem." Paula Neff Mother of two children, Dallas, Texas |
