Hockey, Kids & Positive Parenting: Michael's Story
https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B08197MFPM
(Kindle)
“Hockey, Kids & Positive Parenting” (Revised edition of: "Hockey, Kids & Positive Coaching" is an inspiring story about how a young boy’s love for the game of hockey is affected by the pressures placed on him by the adults closest to him in life.
It is a tale that demonstrates the value of love and how a child’s growth and development is enhanced when guided by those who are more concerned about feelings of self-worth than numbers on a scoreboard.
“Hockey, Kids & Positive Parenting” attempts to teach that the journey to true peak performance in life flourishes through guidance and education that goes beyond skills, a quality education that effectively uncovers inner strengths and allows these strengths to grow to their greatest potential.
The value of developing a strong sense of self of self-worth cannot be over-emphasized.

For more than 35 years Chris has had the opportunity to attend numerous seminars, read, analyzed, synthesized, and evaluated a variety of books related to education, and child & adult development. He has spent hundreds of hours researching and studying research related to possible causes, and a variety of modalities used to treat numerous mental conditions, as well as communication with many doctors and counsellors throughout North America, Europe and Oceania.
Chris has taught English, Social Studies, Health, and Art at the junior high school level, and all compulsory subjects, including eight years as a Resource Teacher (PST), at the elementary school level. He has been a participating member and chairperson of Program Planning Teams, and overseen the setting up and maintenance of the computer lab at Carleton Consolidated School, where I coordinated a Grassroots Project. He has facilitated workshops regarding the value of creating a classroom atmosphere that supports the growth of self-esteem in children for the Tri County School Board, and for the Primary Elementary Teachers Association (PETA) at their annual provincial conferences. He has conducted workshops related to the writing process, editing, and publication of books, and demonstrated the use of educational software, for these organizations.Chris volunteered in a unit at a hospital in Halifax, Nova Scotia. It was a unit where he worked with youth who were in a state of severe physical, mental and developmental disarray. They were described by such terms as severe "deformity", "dysmorphism" or "dysmorphic". They were existing at the most severe acute phase of mental illness.As a volunteer at Yarmouth Regional Hospital (Rehabilitation Services) Chris visited patients who had limited social interaction due to mobility, loneliness, limited family visits, or physical ability to leave their room. In 2013 Chris experienced a powerfully positive learning and life changing event when he had a seizure and car accident which led to a 21-hour surgery to remove a massive brain tumor.
