MISSION VIEJO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Parents struggling with children's behaviors such as
power struggles, tantrums, teaching responsibility, and improving the family dynamic are invited to
parent coach Edie Gilligan's free seminar March 11th at Chaparral Elementary School at 6:30 p.m.
After a career as a preschool director, elementary teacher, parenting instructor and publishing self-
help articles, Edie started coaching others in their parenting trials. Parents struggling with setting
limits and being consistent or possibly even yelling, pleading, or giving in to their child out of
frustration should know they are not alone.
"Every parent has felt these very things at one time or another," Edie explains. "Raising children is
the most rewarding and exhausting job in the world. There is no rule book, no degree, no crash
course that can prepare you for the individual that is your child."
Edie's company, Parenting Possibilities, is a coaching service to help parents find solutions to
various and unique parenting issues. "Getting to know families and watching their progress as they
become educated and supported in reaching the goals they have for their family is a privilege," Edie
says. ParentingPossibilities.net offers more information on Edie's mission and parenting tips, links
and helpful articles, as well as contact information about in-home or over the phone parenting
guidance.
Edie weaves humor and humbleness into her public speaking on the subject of parenting and family
life. MOPS groups, mother's clubs and schools enjoy her clever combination of heart and laughter.
She is consistently voted onto the top speakers list of these organizations each year.
"As parents, we must have great expectations. We forgive and ask for forgiveness. We must love our
children enough to be the parent they need, not necessarily the one they want," Edie says. "This
takes courage and a real commitment to raising good, loving, hard-working, strong and
compassionate people."
Edie's seminar entitled "Pay Attention Parenting" addresses direct communication and guiding
children into becoming more responsible and respectful of themselves, others and their parents. The
March 11th workshop is open to the public and starts at 6:30 p.m. Chaparral Elementary School is
located at 29001 Sienna Parkway in Ladera Ranch, California. For more information please call: 949-
