| There are four simple but important cognitive life skills we could and should be teaching to all our young people that we currently are not. The four simple but important cognitive life skills are: 1) To have Unconditional Self-Acceptance (USA) and Other Acceptance 2) To have an Internal Locus of Control 3) To evaluate their own thoughts, feelings and actions 4) To recognize and correct irrational thinking in themselves and others 5) To approach any life event in a step-by-step fashion that allows them to get into the best possible cognitive and emotional place to make the healthiest possible choice for themselves and others |

| Research has repeatedly shown that teaching people these life skills 1) Would free those young people who are to stop behaving in unhealthy and self-defeating ways 2) Would help all students get in the best cognitive and emotional place to better access and act on helpful health advice and information and make the healthiest possible choices both now and in the future 3) Would make students more ready, willing and able to learn, and able to function at levels they are capable of. It would give students, teacher and parents the mental and emotional fitness that would be necessary or helpful to face any challenge in the future |

| I am committed to encouraging the addition of these five important skills to the education students now receive around our country, and encouraging the paradigm shift that may need to occur in my fellow educators for that to happen. That's why I am currently willing to speak to teachers and students for FREE. |
