Our Services: Celebrate Aging Courses

Attention: Adult Children of Aging Parents!

As much as your time and energy permit, you’re committed to being there for your parents. So why do your efforts to help keep blowing up in your face?

Who Else Wants to Celebrate Your Parents’ Aging & Know When All is Said and Done That You Did It Right?!

Everyone knows...

You’re being pulled in a million different directions and you don’t have a lot of time or energy to spare, even for the people and things that matter most to you.

As the adult child of aging parents, regardless of where you fit in the birth order hierarchy or how close or far away you live, you’re probably being stretched even farther by the need to help your parents make it through both the important and the more mundane aspects of living.

And, however needy - or independent - your parents are, you are no doubt learning first hand that being more directly involved in their lives is no easy task.

Whatever your good intentions, playing a supporting role in your parent’s life can feel like walking a tight rope – without a net!

Sound familiar? If so, rest assured that you’re not alone.

But there’s no reason for you to continue like this. You and your aging parents deserve better. And you have the opportunity now to change the dynamics of your interactions for the better.

Start now and learn how to connect with your aging parents on their level – or ignore this opportunity and risk missing out on really knowing them when you both need it most.

If you’re struggling to get through to your aging parents without being ignored or completely shut down in your efforts, and you want a proven strategy for really connecting with them, then you owe it to yourself to register for:

“Seven Reasons You’re Not Getting Through to Your Aging Parents...
and What You Can Do To Make Things Better”.

NOW…Give yourself the gift you and your aging parents really deserve!

Dear Adult Children of Aging Parents,

More and more of you are taking on some degree of care-giving responsibility for your aging parents. And, more and more of you are finding that the job is more difficult than you were expecting. Something seems to keep getting in the way of your efforts.

You may not realize it, but that something is YOU! Another thing you may not realize, yet, is that you already have all the resources you need to correct this situation. And, your aging parents are counting on your getting it right.

Since this is so important to you, I’ve created “Seven Reasons You’re Not Getting Through to Your Aging Parents...And What You Can Do To Make Things Better” to take the mystery and frustration out of the most critical part of your relationship.

This course will get you started in making the changes you need to make to keep the lines of communication open, and your relationship with your aging parents strong.

Interested? Please read on...

Here are just a few of the many things you will learn in this exciting 7 week series...

(When you make the commitment to participate fully in this program, and to practice the strategies we discuss, you’ll learn more in the next 7 weeks about how to really communicate with your aging parents than most of your friends will know in a lifetime. And, as a result, you will dramatically transform this relationship that means so much to both you and your parents!)

• Week 1: How the year and culture into which you were born set the stage for your miscommunication with your parents, and what you can do to ease the problem.
   
• Week 2: How you communicate differently from your aging parents, and how to start translating your thoughts into their language.
   
• Week 3: Why your assumptions about your aging parents get you into trouble, and how to turn those assumptions upside down.
   
• Week 4: How to recognize and decipher your aging parents’ hidden communication signals.
   
• Week 5: What aging is all about from your parent’s perspective, and how you can make life easier for both of you by using that perspective to your advantage.
   
• Week 6: What you do that creates the greatest friction between you and your aging parents, and what you can do to turn that friction inside-out.
   
• Week 7: Why your aging parents keep focusing on the past, and how you can help them fulfill their legacy mission.

We all know that if you wait, you don’t take action. If you don’t take action, you stay stuck.

Your aging parents deserve more than that! And, so do you!

Don’t wait!
