DOLORES CURRAN
 Known for speaking "parent language," Dolores Curran’s sense of humor and practical advice has attracted many readers to her work. Parents literally asked to read excerpts from Tired of Arguing with Your Kids? off her computer screen as she wrote. "Parents are hungry for these skills," Curran notes. Her articles have appeared in over 100 magazines and journals, including McCall’s, Redbook and Parents Magazine. In 1999, Curran received a Parents’ Choice Award for Tired of Arguing with Your Kids? Her previous awards include a 1984 Christopher Award in the Best Adult Book category for Traits of a Healthy Family, and the Celebrate the Family Award from Penn State University in recognition of her outstanding work on family issues. From 1987-1991, Curran worked as a Family Resource Consultant for Ireland, giving lectures around the country. She currently serves on the advisory boards of Practical Parenting Education and Family Information Services. Curran and her husband James raised three children and make their home in Littleton, Colorado.
