Parents The Power

Phyllis Austin has a passion for excellence in education. 
       In January 2007, Phyllis Austin founded Parents the Power, LLC., a parent support organization. The objective of the organization is to empower parents by teaching and showing them to put into action effective parenting skills.
      The goal of Parents the Power, LLC., is to decrease conflict in the home and create peace and an environment in the home that allows children to thrive and parents to prosper in their relationships with their children.
      "I've been working with parents for over 7 yrs, and unfortunately, many parents feel powerless as parents.  We want parents to know that they don't have to be confused, unsure or frustrated in parenting their children.  We definitely don't want parents to parent out of fear; a lot of parents are doing this. 
     We must admit that when we see children commit serious and violent crimes and exhibit those behaviors, something is wrong.  Too often, parents are afraid; they don't know what to do.  In II Timothy 1:7 it states, For GOD has not given us the Spirit of fear; but of Power and of Love, and of a Sound Mind.  Therefore, we have to teach and show parents that they have this spiritual power and love, and that they don't have to be confused and fearful. It is one thing to go to church, but too often parents have difficulties applying their spiritual guidance in their lives and to parenting their children."
        Phyllis Austin is married and has two children.
