Biographical Highlights
Cheryl Erwin, MA, MFT, has been working with (and
learning from) families for more than ten years, most recently
as a licensed marriage and family therapist, speaker, and
parenting consultant in private practice in Reno, Nevada.
Cheryl has an encouraging, humorous, and effective way of
adapting practical parenting skills and insights to the
special needs of her listeners. She has facilitated workshops
and classes for such diverse groups as children with special
needs and chronic illness, military parents, single parents,
professional groups, school groups, churches,
and parents of gifted children, as well as families referred
to parenting education by the court and prison systems. Cheryl
devotes much of her time to working individually with
families, couples, children, and adolescents to help them live
together with mutual respect and dignity.
Cheryl is coauthor with Jane Nelsen of seven books in the
Positive Discipline series, and has co-authored "How to Turn
Boys Into Men Without a Man Around the House: A Single
Mother's Guide," with Richard
Bromfield of Harvard Medical School. She also writes articles
on parenting and family relationships for a number of regional
publications,
and has written for such national publications as Parents
Magazine. She presents a weekly parenting broadcast on KUNR
-FM in the Reno/Sparks area.
Cheryl has also presented at numerous national conferences,
including the National Association for the Education of Young
Children, and the North American Society for Adlerian
Psychology. Cheryl is married and has an 18-year-old son, who
is, by far, her best teacher. Parenting is the most
challenging job most of us will ever do -- and the
most important. Cheryl's vision is to provide the skills,
warmth, insights, and environment in which to raise healthy,
capable young people.
