Author John Reardon

Mr. John Reardon is an energetic and pragmatic speaker with thirty-six years of experience in education. He wishes to continue to work with and for children for at least as long as his father's teaching career, which was fifty-four years. Mr. Reardon's talks inspire teachers to search their hearts and rediscover their love for children which led them into a teaching career. He reaches parents, especially Dads, and helps them to help themselves become better parents.

Mr. Reardon's experience in education has encompassed grades K through 12. He has written a book to encourage Dads to be more involved with their children's lives. The New York Times has said All-Star Dads is "long on common sense" and quotes Mr. Reardon as saying, "The real heroes of America are our classroom teachers."

About his recent book, Diamonds Will Sparkle, Reardon says, "children are often 'diamonds in the rough.' With the proper love and treatment, they can grow to shine with unlimited possibilities."

Experiences as an author, an educator, and a parent enable Mr. Reardon to tell stories to motivate teachers and parents to look inside themselves to become better teachers. He offers practical advice as solutions for various parenting and classroom situations as well as inspirational stories from people who have touched his life. Stories from Major League Baseball Players, United Nations Officials, and even Elton John are told to encourage your staff in their relationships with children.

Mr. Reardon has delighted audiences speaking at the National Parent's Day Coalition in Washington, DC this year as well as at schools throughout New England, Minnesota, Arizona, Georgia, Florida, and Washington state. His experience has shown him the importance of good communication as parents raise their children. He has observed that when dads become involved in the schools their children do better. Mr. Reardon's work with parents has shown the importance of keeping communication going with others in parenting support groups, if this does not happen, parents will revert to previous behavior within three months.
