You’re Invited to Join Us


Dear Friends and Champions of Children,

We would like to invite you to join us this fall for Empowered to Connect Parent Training, a special nine week training course for adoptive and foster parents.  Throughout the nine weeks we will learn more about ourselves and our children, learn amazing facts about neuroscience, and be given new tools to help us connect to our children, even while correcting.  We believe that the tools provided in this course will forever change your parenting and many of your other relationships for the better.

If you have any questions about ETC or other concerns, please email Robin  or I.  Robin’s email is robin@lovetakesyouin.com and I can be reached at j.daniel@tylerforeverfamilies.org.

We look forward to the journey.

God bless you,
John Daniel
