Introducing Loren Buckner, LCSW



Introducing Loren Buckner, LCSW
Loren began her career as a substance abuse counselor in Waitsfield, Vermont. In 1980, she and her husband moved to Barcelona, Spain, where they taught English for two years. From Spain, they moved to Tampa, Florida, where Loren worked in community mental health for many years. She is currently in private practice as a psychotherapist. Loren has spoken to parents locally, nationally, and internationally about the emotional challenges of raising children. Her book ParentWise offers parents professional counsel in the privacy of their own homes and is a valuable resource for parents to return to again and again.

Join Carol & Stacy for a live chat with Loren Buckner January 10th in their BlogFrog Parenting Community.
9 PM Eastern ~ 8 Central ~ 7 Mountain ~ 6 Pacific

~ Prizes ~

Did you miss Loren's guest articles on ICP? No problem, here they are.

Here's more praise for ParentWise: The Emotional Challenges Of Family Life And How To Deal With Them
Debra Blackburn, Step-parent. "Even if you're not a parent, you'll appreciate all you discover between the pages of this book. If you want to better understand yourself and your relationships with others, read this book!"
Cara MacMillan, Ecologist and Expectant Mother. "I love it already! I think that it is important for me to read this book, as I identify with the "conscientious parent" to-be, who also avoids some negative feelings."
Jeannie Cucher, Ph.D. Student and Mother. "It gave me hope, confirmed some of my beliefs, made me wonder about some others. I felt myself breathing in her definition of unconditional love, and wanting to retain her formulation in my mind."

Carol and Stacy Interview Howard Binkow: Author of the Howard B. Wigglebottom children's books.








1. Did you always know you wanted to be a children's writer, or did it come to you later on in life?
It came to me later on in life. I first realized the importance of being a good listener when I was sixty years old.   Practicing what I learned dramatically improved the quality of my life and finances. I decided to write Howard B. Wigglebottom Learns to Listen, a picture book to help introduce the subject of listening in our public schools.

2. How many children's books have you written?
So far there are eleven books in the Howard B. Wigglebottom series.

3. How did you come up with Howard B Wigglebottom the character?
One of our illustrators came up with a bunny character named Harold B. Wigglebottom. My family insisted the first name be Howard.

4. How long does it take you to write a book? Our team created as many as three books in a year.

5. How did you find your illustrator?  We work with a team of illustrators that we find by word-of-mouth.

6. Do you have a literary agent? Did you use traditional publishing or self-publishing? We are self-published. The only literary agent we have is for foreign rights.

7. Any suggestions for new picture book authors trying to get their books notices?  Create books that are unique, then be patient and persistent.

8. Have you incorporated social media into your book campaigns? 
Yes, we are active on Twitter and Facebook
Have you heard of virtual book tours? I have but we are not currently doing any.

9. Do you have any children of your own, if so how have they responded to your children's books? I have four beautiful children and in laws and ten grandchildren.  From time to time, one of my children will remind me to re-read Howard B. Wigglebottom Learns to Listen.

10. What is the collective message of all your books? What would you like children to gain from reading your books?
The intention of our Howard B. Wigglebottom books is to enable young children to be better listeners, learn important life lessons and feel good about themselves.

11. What would you like our audience to know about you that they don't already know?

Our books are a team effort. I am only one of the writers.

12. Are your books available on Kindle and Ereaders? There are four Howard B. Wigglebottom as Iphone Ipad apps. We plan on being on Ereaders in 2012.

13. Share with our audience what they will find on your website.
On wedolisten.org, we have lots of free parenting/educator resources:
There are animated versions of the Howard B. Wigglebottom books
Lessons and posters from the books
Songs which compliment the books
Non- violent games
A page where children can write and color their own books.
For those who prefer hard cover books, we offer them at a 50-60% discount.

14. Did you write all the songs yourself?
The songs were written by Reverend Ana Rowe and several very talented musicians.

Cathy Cassani Adams Wants You To Know.....




Hi Carol and Stacy I'm looking forward to the all star chat!

Here are some things I am up to:
I am thoroughly enjoying my writing for Chicago Parent Magazine and blog column (The Self-Aware Parent).  I am offering “Conscious Parents discussion groups” in people’s homes….just gather your mom friends, share some food, have some wine, and let’s talk parenting!  It gives moms the opportunity to dig a little deeper into themselves and their parenting.  

Todd and I also offer couples discussion groups…it’s always nice to have the male perspective, too!  

I teach in the Sociology Department at Dominican University (in the fall I teach Sociology of the Family, in the spring I teach Intro to Social Work).  I teach the students about the importance of self care (for them, and for their future clients), emotions, and connection to self – my hope is that the students will choose a profession to offer support and encouragement to those in need and simultaneously take care of themselves so they don’t burn out. I also love doing Zen Parenting Radio with my husband -  it brings us great joy and

Live Chat With Cathy Cassani Adams Tonight 9/27


Tonight's the night! 
Join us as we welcome Cathy Cassani Adams to The Intentional Conscious Parenting Show.

What Intentional Conscious Parenting means to Cathy Cassani Adams.


"It means we need to become whole people so we can raise whole people.  We need to take care of ourselves, love ourselves, heal ourselves, and then live our lives based in love, not fear.  It means looking at our children as separate human beings on their own journey and knowing that our role is to support them on their path.  It means helping our children discover their own inner sense of safety about who they are and why they are here so they always know their worth regardless of circumstance." ~ Cathy 


Live online typed chat tonight Tuesday September 27th, 9PM Eastern, 8 Central, 7 Mountain and 6 Pacific. Everyone is welcome to attend our free online event.
