Life-changing Skills Your Child Will Love

"Self-Determination

Isn't Thinking Outside of the Box.

It's throwing out the box!"

Sandra McElwee

All children and adults need to be able to make decisions to live happier, more fulfilling lives.

This is why it's so vital that we teach kids self-determination skills such as problem-solving, creativity, assertiveness & pride from an early age - they will continue developing these throughout their entire lifetime!

Imagine what it would be like for your child to have the power to shape their own life.

Sandra McElwee from Empowered Person-Centered Plans talked about how important this is, providing support so that every decision will reflect who they really want to be and what they want their life to be like.

Sandra shared personal experiences with us while raising her son, Sean, the TV show Born This Way star.

AND Sean also joined us towards the end of our show as he took a break from his work.

You could check out Sean's business, Seanese, and start ordering some holiday gifts from him!
