My granddaughter loved your book.“
Helping parents with their child’s confidence and self-esteem is the foundation for Victor’s workshops and presentations. Schools bring these programs in to reinforce the social-emotional component of the district’s curriculum.
Being called, “The Inner-tainer,“ Victor’s programs and workshops are a combination of core confidence-building strategies and tools and original music that sets the tone for an educational and fun experience.
