About Chick Moorman
A Distinguished Educator....
A Captivating speaker....
Chick Moorman is an experienced educator with over 35 years of experience in the field of education. A former classroom teacher, he is currently the Director of the Institute for Personal Power which provides skill-based workshops for educators and parents. Mr. Moorman has conducted training sessions and led school improvement processes for over 400 school districts.
Chick Moorman has authored 6 books including the highly acclaimed "Parent Talk: How To Talk To Your Child In Language That Builds Self-Esteem and Encourages Responsibility," and "Spirit Whisperers: Teachers Who Nourish A Child's Spirit." His free newsletter on raising response-able young people is distributed bi-monthly to interested parents and educators.
Chick Moorman, author, father, and grandparent thought he had done it all. At different times in his life he experienced full-time parenting, weekend parenting, and step-parenting. He also single-parented his teenage son for several years.
After 15 years of traveling around the country teaching other people how to parent, without warning, he became another statistic in the ever-growing number of grandparents who are raising their grandchildren.
Chelsea, age 15, and Austin, age 11, now live with Chick full time, and had to adjust to a new school, new state, and new experiences for them. Chick's life changed overnight as he became one of only 125,000 men raising children as a single grandfather. "No more dancing past midnight," says Chick, "No more stopping at a convenience store to get a soda without requests from two others."
Chick has learned some things since his grandchildren came to live with him over a year ago. He learned its alot easier to travel all over the country telling people how to raise children than it is to have two children living with you full time. He also learned the skills he wrote in Parent Talk work if you work the skills. Chick is grateful for "the incredible blessings that occur with two children in your life," and for the Parent Talk skills which he now uses every day.
Mr. Moorman lives in Merrill, MI where he relaxes by riding his Arabian horse, Spartan. Information on his workshops, seminars and products are available at www.chickmoorman.com.
