A Message from
the President and Founder
| We have experienced a number of changes since
our inception in
1996. Yet, the mission and the unshaken commitment to the children of
America have not changed.
My wife Barbara and I
have spent much of
our adult life sharing our
vision of parenthood with countless groups of
people across the
United States.
As a direct result of the generosity and vision of
our son
Drew Bledsoe the
Parenting With Dignity™ curriculum, is available to
every parent.
The dream we share is that The Parenting With Dignity®
program serve as an invaluable resource to all
people who desire a world in which respect for others, and especially
children, is a way of life.

reality. Please consider becoming an agent for change.
Order a set of
videotapes, hold parenting classes in your community; and

organization. Together we can change the world. |

Parenting With Dignity®,
a non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation, was
established in 1996 as a parent education organization
that disseminates information on
all aspects of raising children capable of
making responsible decisions. Our mission is to improve the
lives of children by promoting and teaching effective parenting
skills.
Mac Bledsoe, founder and chief spokesman for
Parenting With Dignity, lectures to parenting organizations, youth
groups, and in schools and churches across America. Mr. Bledsoe
and the Parenting With Dignity curriculum has been featured on
the TODAY Show, ABC's 20/20 television show, and on numerous national and local
radio and television programs. Robyn Berndt of the
Washington State Superior Court-Juvenile Court Division says,
"Mac (Bledsoe) has a way of connecting
with people that makes them feel special and valued. He gives
people, young and old alike, a sense of hope and confidence that
they can improve their lives. His parenting curriculum is used in
our schools, churches, detention centers, and even in private
homes. It is one of the most valuable resources in my library here
at Yakima County Juvenile Court. Our community owes a great deal
of gratitude for the good work Mac has done and continues to do
for our parents and young people."
The Parenting With Dignity curriculum
presents effective techniques for raising
responsible, independent children. PWD advocates permitting
children make some of
their own decisions, and to experience the consequences early on,
so that they can act responsibly when alone, and become more
independent when they grow older. PWD teaches parents and caregivers
to rethink their approach to discipline, punishment and
empowerment. Fundamental to the Parenting With Dignity
curriculum is a focus on developing parenting skills that help to
address many of the child abuse causes perpetrated by
inexperienced and unprepared parents.
We are very proud of the people who donate their time,
energy and money to further the mission of this
organization. The
Parenting With Dignity® program is
pleased to introduce you to our
Executive Management
and Directors.
