"Lori's approach is to come alongside parents and offer a been there done that type of encouragement and advice. No judgment or talking down to parents. No textbook answers. Having raised 4 kids of her own in the real world she has earned the right to be heard on the tough issues facing today's teens and she offers such excellent insight. But what I love the most about Lori is her top priority in parenting a child of any age is the condition of that child's heart, not his immediate happiness or behavior. The heart is what matters, the good choices and behavior will follow. This alone sets her apart from all the other pop psychology parenting voices out there. If you get a chance to sit under Lori's teaching, take it!"
