Roberts' technique always offers alternatives without the fear of pain or
punishment. "Make it easy for the child or adult to Join-Uptm with you,
rather than struggle against you," says Monty. As word of Monty's work has
spread, people who know nothing about horses have become interested in
studying how his approach to communication may help people to interact more
effectively with other people.>>

I couldn't agree more and I would love to hear him as a speaker at a
conference like that. Often people don't like it when I say that I think
things can be learned from first rate animal people (like Monty) that are
useful in homeschooling or parenting. I'm glad to see someone else on this
list likes him.
