About Bob:

Since 1980 Bob Lancer has been following his calling and passion as a wisdom teacher and author, sharing his insights and inspiration as a public speaker, seminar leader and consultant on issues relating to parenting, marriage, child education, childcare and personal and professional life-guidance.

He quickly became well-known for his successful work with parents and teachers, attracting the attention of local and national media, and having one of his “parenting and child-discipline makeovers” featured in the national magazine Parenting.

Since 1996 Bob Lancer has been hosting his own radio show, a parenting show like no other in that it focuses as much on raising ourselves as on the raising of children, with the major theme of counting on love and awareness to guide ourselves in the guiding of children. Called, Bob Lancer’s Parenting Solutions, it airs 2 hours weekly on Atlanta’s WSB Radio (one of the most successful commercial stations in the nation) and broadcasts to over 35 states as well as streams in real time worldwide over the Internet .

Through his radio show, Bob routinely consults with the nation’s leaders in the fields of child behavior, psychology, education, parenting, marriage, health, success and spirituality.

He has regularly appeared as the parenting and child discipline expert of WXIA TV (Atlanta’s NBC Affiliate), where he was dubbed, “The Guru of Parent Temper Control,” and he has hosted his own talk show for kids on Radio Disney called, Ask Bob, on which children would discuss with him their problems with their parents. Currently, his parenting and life wisdom are featured on the Atlanta Public Schools Cable TV station, in association with WPBA 30, Atlanta's Public Television Station.  He is also a board member of the Dekalb County Head Start Association: Partnership for Community Action.

His parenting expertise has been featured on CNN, in the national magazines Parenting, Parent and Child and in local newspapers including the Atlanta Journal & Constitution and the New York Daily News. He is routinely interviewed by the media, has published scores of articles, and appears on countless parent-related websites as an expert in his field.

Bob Lancer is a highly sought after keynote speaker, seminar leader and consultant whose live programs, books and recordings produce positive change in the lives of the children and in the personal and professional lives of the adults he serves. Each year he delivers his live presentations to thousands of parents, couples, counselors, social workers, teachers, childcare professionals, individuals seeking personal and professional development, and young people around the nation and at his Atlanta, GA headquarters.

His audiences consistently praise his presentations as the best they have ever attended, and they return to their lives and work with higher skills and a more enthusiastic attitude.

His uniquely effective approach to raising, reaching and teaching even the most challenging children brings together a vast expanse of knowledge gained from experience and study. Bob is a parent and a former schoolteacher who has taught children at all grade levels and backgrounds, including Alternative High School. His formal educational background includes BA’s in English and Education and Graduate level training Counseling Psychology, Organic Education and Educational Technology.

His practices center on principles of Dr. Maria Montessori, incorporate discoveries of Dr. Alice Miller and draw on the wisdom of the ages in a creative, dynamic and highly practical synthesis all his own.

Bob shows us how to guide child behavior, development and education by first establishing ourselves in a stable state of consciously observant peace, poise and power. Upon that foundation he teaches us how to lead the child through secure and loving bonding, conscientious modeling, and conscious, constructive responsiveness (relating to your reactions as a cause, rather than as an effect) based on an understanding of the actual developmental needs of the child at every stage of life.

Bob Lancer’s lively and unique approach meets a critical need for our time as he delves far deeper into the process of raising children and ourselves than one finds anywhere else. His engaging presentations empower:

·         Adults and young people to dream big dreams, reach for those dreams and fulfill their limitless potentials.

·         Businesses to raise their workers’ levels of moral, teamwork and performance.

·         Couples to create a life-long, fulfilling, harmonious relationship.

·         Parents to fully and joyfully support their children’s potential for healthy, happy life-long success and contribution.

·         Teachers and caregivers to bring greater peace, confidence, joy, love and understanding into their relationship with children to better guide child behavior, development and education.

Bob Lancer is the author of numerous books published in the U.S. and abroad, including his groundbreaking work on parenting with awareness, peace and poise:

In addition How to successfully guide your child's behavior and development with love and without draining power-struggles, arguing, anger or stress. Know exactly what to do about behaviors that disturb you, including ignoring directions, not accepting "no" for an answer, shows of disrespect or direct defiance, whining, sibling rivalry, school related behavior problems. Turn bedtime, mealtime, up-and-out in the morning into smooth routines. Support your child's healthy self-confidence, self-esteem, and self-motivation. Prepare your child for life-success.
