Sidney Gaskins <ul><li>Goals & Life Success for Motivated Parents </li></ul><ul><li>Family Success University was developed by Sidney Gaskins, a former social worker turned adoptive parent with a passion for children and families. With 15 plus years of work with children, families, and communities she has taken the principles of success and achievement and crafted them into an effective, highly interactive, and motivational program for parents. With record numbers of parents out of work, frustrated, concerned, and under stress Family Success University seeks to fill the gap by relieving stress, encouraging personal develop, providing a support structure, providing financial education, improving familial communication, and ultimately assisting parents in creating what they want for themselves and their family. The family thrives when parents develop their personal and family vision, uncover their strengths, reveal resources for their achievement, are effective communicators, and have tools and techniques for continued success. Family Success University is not another “positive parenting program” but a toolbox for motivated parents. </li></ul>meet 2010 © Sidney Gaskins and Enterprising Life
