Richard and Linda Eyre are among the most popular speakers in the world on parenting and families. Their clients and audiences range from The Young President’s Organization (YPO) and major corporations and associations to a wide array of school, civic, church and community groups. They find it remarkable and gratifying that in every one of the 45 countries where they have presented, parents have similar hopes, dreams and worries about their children regardless of economic, religious, geographic and cultural differences.They are authors of numerous work/family balance and parenting books, one of which, Teaching Your Children Values became the first parenting book in fifty years (since Dr. Spock’s Baby and Child Care) to reach #1 on the New York Times bestseller list. The Eyres two latest books are 5 Spiritual Solutions for Parents and The Entitlement Trap, How to Rescue Your Child with a New Family System of Choosing, Earning, and Ownership.The Eyres have appeared on many national network shows including Oprah, The Today Show, Prime Time Live, 60 Minutes, Good Morning America and once did regular segments on the CBS Early Show. Their parenting website www.valuesparenting.com provides ideas, guidance and creative programs for families throughout the world.Learn more about Richard and Linda here.
