- 🎥 This lecture by Dr. Louise Hart at the height of her speaking career was filmed during a PTA presentation to parents, teachers, and child-care providers in Wisconsin. She spoke around the nation and abroad for three decades, teaching how to build self-esteem in both children and adults through creating environments that help children thrive.
- 🗣️ The experiences, stories, and insights Louise gained as a full-time stay-at-home mom (all now proven best psychological practices!) are shared in detail in her book, The Winning Family. She inspires and supports parents to NOT repeat the mistakes of their own parents, but to change damaging family patterns—with humor, optimism, and techniques that can be learned by anyone.
- ⚡️ Each short video has a quiz that invites reflection; completing one section will unlock the next one. Making time to write in a journal after each lesson can deepen your insights even further. Feel free to download the resources and pin them on your refrigerator to practice with your family!
“Louise’s presentations are informative, uplifting, wonderful!”
