“While I was Director of Title I of No Child Left Behind in the Muscogee County School District (MCSD), Don Barefield gave presentations for the Parenting Component of the Title I program. He gave presentations in several schools in MCSD. I was fortunate enough to be present when he addressed parents, parent coordinators, and guests as the keynote speaker during a special event entitled Parent University. During Mr. Barefield’s keynote speech, I, along with most of the audience, was genuinely impressed and captivated as he recounted true stories of his experiences when, as a young adult, he worked in Miami, Florida in what he termed “one of the toughest schools in America.” The wisdom which he conveyed in his management of young people was remarkable. At our Parent University, he also presented four workshop sessions: “The Four Components of Effective Discipline”, “Designing a Plan for Parenting”, “Parenting in a High Tech World” and “Parent-Teacher-Student: A Team Effort”. He left the attendees with a variety of strategies for managing behavior. Those strategies could be used by parents, by teachers, and by anyone who works closely with youth. I highly recommend Don Barefield’s services.”

“Don is a wealth of information for the parent and educator who wish to reach children’s hearts and implement consistent discipline at home and in the classroom. His background is diverse and his presentation style is such that he appeals to every audience member, no matter their background. Don provides wisdom, humor, encouragement, and very practical solutions that will truly change the way you parent your child and the way you educate your students.”

“I wasn’t even aware that what my son needed was more effective discipline, because, really, I thought I already knew how to discipline! My son’s behavior problems in school were continuing to escalate. The pressure from school administrators and other professionals had escalated as well. Don visited our house several times, and taught me discipline strategies that were easy for me to implement and that were amazingly effective. It wasn’t just discipline that changed my son; the same strategies worked for our reward system as well. Our lives were completely changed! My son did not stop being an active little boy; however, I now have the tools to confidently and effectively change his behavior before it escalates. My son is now an AP student, he is in his third year of ROTC, and was recently added to his school’s Chamber Orchestra. Don’s guidance has had a huge impact on our family, and I could never thank him enough.”

“I recently went to one of Don’s Parenting Reformation Weekend Conferences. Don was engaging, high energy and genuine. He is an excellent speaker. I was pleasantly surprised with information presented. I consider myself a good parent and a good businessman. So, I didn’t necessarily expect new ideas to change my parenting approach in a 2 day conference. But, it did! I left the conference with a new outlook and some great new tools regarding discipline. These principles will also work very well in my business. Useful information in a conference is refreshing. Don also is not afraid to tell you the truth about what your kids are seeing and doing in today’s digital world. Great job Don and I look forward to future conferences.”

“I have personally attended workshops that Don Barefield has conducted. Each event was captivating, informative, and pertinent, while remaining true to the topic given. While the attendance at the various events varied, Mr. Barefield has a talent for tailoring his delivery to the number of persons present and for engaging audience participation in various exercises that foster discussion and help lead to good conclusions. Without reservation, I recommend and encourage the use of Don Barefield’s presentations for a single program or for a series of programs.”
