Raising Adults, Not Kids

Engage your general or parent audience with a complete shift in 'how to raise a child' based on modern understanding of humans and their brains... because there are already enough 4-year-olds walking around in 40-year-old bodies...

Tips for Parents, Educators & Carers

Captivate and inspire your audience with talks filled with tips for working with children. Topics include tips for ages and stages, communicating with toddlers, understanding tantrums, encouraging cooperation and more, nearly any topic of parenting, childhood education, and life with kids

Lazy Parenting - parent a simpler way

Engage your audience with mindset shifts and new information about child brain development and how it affects parenting styles and expectations for behaviour, so your audience can live a simpler, easier (and far more efficient) life with children

Living Weird in a Normal World

Offer your audiences hope, encouragement and inspiration for living outside of the mainstream: homeschoolers, attachment-style, homesteaders, neurodiverse kids (and parents), transgenerational trauma cycle-breakers & more

When she's not on stage, she's an adventurous cook and eager world traveller, mom of 2 women and grandma of 2 lads.

Just wanted to drop a note to say a huge thank you for a fabulous presentation. I enjoyed every minute of it - I only wish those that registered but didn't show could have experienced it also - they have no idea what they missed!

Linda Clement flips the script on all things parenting. She's probably the most well-read person I have ever met, which is why her videos and presentations make me a better parent.
