Frequently Asked Questions

You can use them to build your child’s self-esteem, helping to provide the confidence he or she needs to tackle whatever seems difficult. Children will be more willing to listen and understand how to correct adverse behaviors if their dignity is intact.
Rather than focusing on weaknesses, find ways to assist your child in developing to his or her full potential.  When encouraged, children will acquire talents to compensate for any deficiencies.
If your child has problems with control, negativity will only make him or her feel worse. Use short and mild suggestions to remind your child to focus, like “P.A.,” for “pay attention.”
Life with children is a roller coaster ride. Understanding that there will be negative aspects to child rearing and getting some professional advice when necessary will help you maintain your sanity and enjoy the experience.
If they do not receive positive attention from family, they may choose to seek out negative attention.  This is because negative attention is still attention, and any attention is better than being ignored.  Remember to communicate with your child. Love and care are the greatest healers.
Lazy Saturday mornings in bed are replaced by soccer games and recitals. Remember, you still need to make time for each other – date nights and weekend getaways are important for your relationship.
Think of your kids as little bipedal copy machines who will mimic everything you do. If you behave badly, you are giving them permission to act in the same ways. Check in with yourself, and don’t lose it in front of the children.

All of your child’s problems can be worked through with humor, goodwill, and perseverance.  With proper parental support, even the most troublesome teens can become amazing people.

The mystery of what your children will be and how you can affect that outcome is what family life is all about.  Give all you can, keep your cool, and stay in the game. The results and your own joy will surprise and reward you.

PARENTING COURSES

WHAT PARENTS SAY

Put Simply, this course has changed our lives. Using the techniques we learned in this class brings us closer to our children and each other on a daily basis. It has improved our communication in every aspect of our lives, including professionally. This course is a must for every parent

Ron and Felicity Vignone

As an attorney I am logical and persuasive. I could not imagine what a parenting course could possibly provide but my wife convinced me to join her. We have two year old twins. The methods and insight I gained during this course have been invaluable. They have improved communication with respect to my work, our marriage and no doubt will pay off for a lifetime of raising our children. I encourage every parent to take this course.

Christopher Arvin, Esq.

Out of the many books I have read, lectures I have attended, and comments or advice I have received from other professionals, this class has been the most enlightening, useful and transformative resource for parenting – as well as for relationship building in general that I have ever experienced. Profound!

Kathy Vaclavik

“I began the course with the utmost skepticism but early on I experienced the biggest paradigm shift of my life! The most valuable gift a parent can acquire is the power to empathize with one’s child and seeing the world through his/her eyes. Acquiring this ability is an exciting journey that I started in this course. I cannot wait to take the course again.
