Bio, Presentation Descriptions, and Speaking Schedule

	Traci Heaton is a dedicated mom, speaker, and author. She is the co-author and developer of the Accountable Kids parenting program which is helping parents promote accountability, responsibility, and character development in their children. This unique program is based on the principle of the “Law of the Harvest”; you reap what you sow. The Accountable Kids program was created, not because Traci and her husband had all the answers but, because they had many of the same questions as other parents. The Heatons are now working closely with pediatricians, social workers, educators, counselors, and psychologists, and their efforts have been helpful for children with ADD, Autism, Aspergers, and behavioral problems. What started out as a way to create a more harmonious family life in their home has grown into a thriving business and traveling ministry. Traci’s presentations combine humor, practicality, and hands-on solutions to help families learn to balance choices and consequences in a fun, productive manner. Her ideas help children develop confidence and self-worth and experience the joy of being a vital, contributing member of the family.

“The Accountable Kids program provides a solid Framework to help families meet parenting challenges with more confidence and less stress.” Dr. Laura Schlessinger “This program is a fantastic way to instill worthwhile principles into your kids and let them recognize the law of the harvest. Too many children today bear no responsibility for their behavior and then grow up without the skills or the motivation to succeed. This user-friendly program sets them on the path of accountability, which in turn, builds their self-worth.” Dr. Stephen R. Covey, author, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. “Parents face the challenge of consistently structuring relationships with their children in a developmentally appropriate fashion. Accountable Kids is an excellent path of empowerment. Children will find increased opportunity to interact with their parents in a manner that fosters trust and responsibility. Family interaction quickly becomes aligned towards mutual goals, and relationships are strengthened. I highly recommend the Accountable Kids system for all parents who desire to obtain a consistently positive level of interaction with their children.:” Daniel M. Sanderson, Ph.D. Clinical Psychologist “To say the Accountable Kids program is based on a behavior modification program, though, is like comparing a full-course Thanksgiving feast to a left-over turkey sandwich. In Accountable Kids, the quick fix of a typical behavior modification program has been transformed into a dynamic, comprehensive parenting plan that encourages parents to be thoughtful, active agents in the process of rearing their children." Lisa Hains Barker, Ph.D., Clinical Psychologist "The Accountable Kids program is based on the principle of the law of the harvest: you reap what you sow. The program allows your child to experience this principle on a continuing basis through choices and consequences. It is designed to foster positive behaviors and eliminate negative behaviors, enabling your child to feel valuable and empowered. The program allows your child to sow his own garden and be rewarded, or not rewarded, by his own efforts." Rene Sundberg, M.Ed.
