Cook has published nearly 100 children’s books on a wide range of characters and social development topics. Her books showcase her innate ability to enter the worldview of a child through storybooks, giving children both the “what to say” and the “how to say it.” Her work has been referenced in Parent's Magazine, The New Yorker, The Huffington Post, The Chicago Tribune, DrLaura.com, BabyZone.com and more. She has also been featured on CNN and other networks.
Delano appearance
In Delano, Cook will present a practical hour of laughs and parenting tricks of the trade.
Topics will include:
- How to effectively address the current needs and worries of the Covid 19 situation with children
- Video game addiction
- Balancing the parenting act
- Personal safety of kids
- Teaching kids social skills through books
Also, as educators and parents, our ultimate goal is to make a positive difference for children and help them reach their highest potential and become the best that they can be in all they do. This goal is getting harder and harder to reach. The presentation will address:
-How do we accomplish the great task of teaching our kids the BIG LIST of everything they need to know and succeed in life when they believe that all of their needs are being met through screen time?
- How do we teach our kids online safety? How do we allow technology to add to our children’s life as opposed to taking from it?
- How do we create an environment where kids genuinely "want it" more than we want it for them?
This parenting talk takes a look at the things that world-class parents and educators are doing to accomplish the "ultimate goal." By creating a craving for knowledge, setting boundaries, teaching GRIT, encouraging patience, and developing E.Q., our children can be their ultimate best and become prepared for their paths that lie ahead!
