Why Become A Parent Educator? Ask These Learn With Less® Facilitators

How these speech-language pathologists shifted their focus to parent education In today’s episode of the Learn With Less® podcast, we’re doing something a little bit different. We’re actually going to share with you the replay of a private event we held recently for accepted applicants of the Learn With Less® Facilitator Training and Certification Program, wherein we brought in a few of our current clients who are licensed, Learn With Less® facilitators, and had them answer your questions. We covered: * Why they initially joined the Learn With Less® Facilitator Training & Certification Program* What benefits they found to utilizing an existing framework that would show them how to lead high quality caregiver & me* classes instead of creating their own (*we use this inclusive term as a substitution for “mommy & me” classes as we serve and welcome parents, caregivers, non-binary folks, foster parents, grandparents, babysitters, etc.) * Big shifts each of them have made in their lives and businesses as a result of joining the Learn With Less® parent educator program and becoming Learn With Less® facilitators* How some of them have found confidence to become parent educators, even if they aren’t parents themselves* Some of the unexpected or unanticipated wins they’ve made as a result of joining the Learn With Less® program* How much time it took each of them to complete the training program, and how much time they dedicate continuously to leading Learn With Less® classes Whether or not you have applied yet for the Learn With Less® Facilitator Training & Certification Program, I know that you will learn so much about not only our program, but about the incredible and generous and supportive individuals that are part of it.
