Re: ADHD Parenting Classes & Support Groups (Sept 2004)
Rona Renner with Kaiser in Richmond runs an ADHD parenting workshop. It is a 4 part series on Saturday mornings. I believe the next series starts on Oct. 9th. Her # is (510)307-2539 for more info. You do not need to be a member of Kaiser to attend-- it is free to the public. I have not actually attended yet, but I plan to go to this next one. My son is 8 and was diagnosed with ADHD at age 7. We have had a lot of ups and downs and I've learned a lot in the process. If you'd like, I would be happy to talk with you more about our family's journey with an ADHD child (behavioral pediatricians, medication as an option, schools, etc.).

I attended the ADHD parenting class at the Kaiser in Richmond. Class lasts for 4 weeks, is free, has lots of good information, and you do not have to be a Kaiser member to attend. akiversen

Re: Kaiser Therapist for Spirited Child (March 2003)
Rona Renner is amazing! I took a class with her, and a friend consulted her for temperament issues concerning her son. Rona is a mother of several children herself. I wish I had Kaiser health insurance just so that I could consult with her! Alison

Re: Parents Disagree about Discipline for 13-month-old
In response to the person wanting information about different parenting styles; Rona Renner runs workshops specifically on this subject. She calls it the "Mother Teresa/John Wayne" syndrome. Rona is a parenting expert who works through Richmond Kaiser Pediatrics, but who also does quite a bit of work in the community. I am sure if you were to call her at Kaiser, she could tell you when her next workshop on this topic is. I have been happy with all of her topics. Eden

Re: Parents Disagree about Discipline for 13-month-old
My husband and I took a parenting course with Rona Renner at Richmond Kaiser several years ago (it was free to Kaiser and non-Kaiser members alike). One of the classes was on exploring your parenting style in relation to your partner's. It was a non-threatening area for exploring this a bit with some feedback from Rona and hearing how other couples dealt with it. Jenn
