Author Equips Families with Problem-Solving Skills

Noting Jean Tracy's peaceful nature and demure stature you'd never guess she was a former probation officer. During her tenure as a pre-sentencing investigator, Tracy witnessed the detrimental affects of poor parenting first-hand. "If only the offenders were nurtured and encouraged in a loving family, their lives-and society-would be dramatically different," she recalls.

Tracy recently birthed her long-held dream: compiling her broad knowledge in family books and activity sets to make building character in children fun-and easy-even in today's world. She promotes projects such as the Goals Pyramid for children to construct and set beside their bed to learn new skills (like improving pitching in baseball); or the Problem Solver Kit, that constructs a bank to earn "coins" every time siblings resolve a negotiation with Tracy's helpful method.

Every parent benefits from the Family Meeting Diary. In its no-fail formula families learn how to discuss and resolve conflicts and make the family run smoothly. With 52 guides, a year's-worth of family meetings gets documented. The completed book becomes a snapshot of family life to treasure always.

Author Jean Tracy, MSS, (Granny Jean) is an award-winning speaker promoting character building in children. She is a former elementary school teacher, family counselor, and probation officer. A highly sought after speaker, Tracy draws from her extensive background helping Puget Sound families grow and learn together. Her focus is parents and their elementary-aged children.
