Kathy Slattengren has been a parenting speaker and trainer for over 10 years. She created an online course called Priceless Parenting so more parents could have access to learning these valuable parenting skills. While raising her own two children, she learned many wonderful parenting techniques from classes, seminars and books. Through studying research, she discovered a universal body of knowledge about how effective parents do their job. Her Masters of Education degree from the University of Washington combined with her Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Computer Science from the University of Minnesota has enabled her to pull together parenting research into a course that is easy to understand and apply. Kathy and her husband Brent live in Seattle with their 15 year old daughter, Kristie, and 12 year old son, Blake. |

Comments on all articles by Kathy Slattengren (187)     Kathy Slattengren  Teens Trying to Become Pregnant Comment by Teresa Ortiz (5,740)    Teresa Ortiz   (69 days 14 hours ago.) Hi Kathy, it is hart breaking that it has become popular to have a baby, but lets look at society, why wouldn't it. Teen sex used to be highly discouraged, movies were made about the realty of teen sex--not any more- its pushed and encouraged, its glamourized in movies, passing out condoms at school-middle school even? How tragic. Serioulsy, if teens really used those things, the pregancy rate and the STD rate would be low. The problem is people do not place beauty and value on virginity. They say its natural to explore, well ya of course it is, but it doesn't make it right. Thanks for bringing up the difficult parts of teen parenting. Abstinence used to work before teen sex was glamourized, perhaps if we went back to the "real" reality, there might be a turn. One out of 4 teens have an std, ya, its a good thing they got their condom from school. Give me a break. Sorry, this is a sensitive issue for me because kids are being decieved and falling for the lies and then being stuck with the consequences. My heart breaks. Thanks for gving me more motivation to pray. Blessings to you! Teresa Comment by Avis Ward (8,613)  Avis Ward (75 days 16 hours ago.)Kathy, I had not heard about this instance but I knew it was prevalent now more than ever before and it's disheartening. You've written an informative article with professional and true-to-life credentials. I have bookmarked your site and will be in contact with you in the future about your lessons. Thank you! Kathy Slattengren from Seattle, WA: (75 days 12 hours ago.) Thanks Avis. I look forward to hearing from you. Avoiding Power Struggles With Your Children Comment by Avis Ward (8,613) Avis Ward (77 days 19 hours ago.)Great article, Kathy. Welcome to SearchWarp and congrats on your Pick of the Day, first time out! I don't have children but this is a wonderful guide for parents facing power struggles with their kids. Kathy Slattengren from Seattle, WA: (77 days 19 hours ago.) Thank you. I did not realize there was a Pick of the Day; you made my day by pointing this out! Truly Ace from UK: (77 days 20 hours ago.) Great article, short article, and yet I can now clearly see now where I've been going horribly wrong with my now very argumentative young children! :) I'll try to remember this for the teenage years.....which apparently are quite frightening to behold. Kathy Slattengren from Seattle, WA: (77 days 19 hours ago.) Thanks for your comment! The effort you put into developing your parenting skills when your children are young will definitely pay off when they are teenagers. After teaching parenting classes for the past 10 years, I tried to capture the best parenting techniques we found in the Priceless Parenting online course. My kids are now 15 and 12. They're making good decisions and parenting is much easier than it was when they were preschoolers. Anonymous: (77 days 22 hours ago.) Easiest way to avoid power struggles with children? Don't have any. Comment by Avis Ward (8,613) Avis Ward (77 days 19 hours ago.)LOL, too funny! Comment by James P Krehbiel (1,391)   James P Krehbiel (78 days 1 hour ago.)Kathy, Excellent article. By acknowledging the feelings rather than combating the wants and needs of children, parents can defuse many battles. Thanks again. Comment by Robert Melaccio, Sr. (4,558)  Robert Melaccio, Sr. (83 days 20 hours ago.) Children yes children what can we say? They are the rue joy and adventure of life. Good article. |
