The Pow­er of PR Par­ent­ing: How to Raise Con­fi­dent, Resilient, and Suc­cess­ful Chil­dren Using Pub­lic Rela­tions Strategies

September 1, 2021

The Pow­er of PR Par­ent­ing offers a fresh approach to par­ent­hood based on the expe­ri­ence and per­spec­tives of Mar­jie Hadad, a glob­al pub­lic rela­tions expert who used her pro­fes­sion­al skills to raise her now three grown chil­dren. Mar­jie shares her per­son­al and pro­fes­sion­al jour­neys as well as her suc­cess­es and mis­takes to illus­trate how to mir­ror her wins and avoid the same hic­cups. With humor and straight talk, Mar­jie shows how to use strate­gic PR tech­niques to help your child:

•Part with their paci­fi­er willingly
•Devel­op supe­ri­or writ­ing, lan­guage and pre­sen­ta­tion skills
•Build self-con­fi­dence, self-love, resilience, respect & tolerance
•Deal with bul­lies and sex­u­al preda­tors – online and on the street
•Han­dle crises in today’s post pan­dem­ic world – small and large
•Make the effort and enjoy the journey
and you to:
•Look at time differently
•Strike a more har­mo­nious work-fam­i­ly balance
•Keep your cool with 10 balls in the air and the pres­sure rising
•Be more present for your child
•Carve out mom­my me time
•Grant your child the oppor­tu­ni­ty to soar on their own
