Speaking

Due to her days as an entertainer, appearing before audiences is second nature to Dr. Walfish. Dr. Walfish has addressed parent groups and teacher trainings at many of the foremost private schools and early childhood centers on the West Coast, including the Oakwood School, the Hollywood Montessori Center, the Bureau of Jewish Education, the Warner Brothers Child Care Center, and the Samuel Goldwyn Children’s Center. She has also spoken at churches and synagogues, and on panels at large national conferences for parents. Among the topics she’s addressed are “Our Children in Crisis” and “Dealing with Temper Tantrums, Anger, and Limit-Setting as Your Child’s Supportive Coach.”

Whatever the venue, the performer in Dr. Fran Walfish still thrives. Whether she is speaking to parents, addressing childhood issues in such newspapers as The Jewish News (where she had a regular column), or being interviewed for Parents magazine, “America’s #1 family magazine,” her genuine enthusiasm and caring for people shines through. Fran Walfish has had her day in the spotlight. She now loves helping parents and their children shine together.
