        • If you’d like to avoid the common mistakes that harm your kids, learn powerful character building secrets and experience the joy of seeing your child thrive, then this might be the most important letter you’ll ever read.

          Here’s why: Most parenting advice fails to touch the surface of what really works. My newsletters are chock full of practical, proven guidance that everyone can put to use! It’s real… and it works!

      • Disrespect & Anger
        • disrespect-anger-menu-thDisrespect & Anger
        • Some of the most peaceful, loving well-intentioned parents end up with children who appear to be extremely angry. Some of these children become violent, uncontrollable, and cannot be maintained in the home during their teenage years.

          There are a variety of reasons that could cause such an escalation in anger. The purpose of this article is to dispel a critical myth, and to make certain that parents become aware of the patterns of their own behavior, which can increase and escalate anger.
        • Close
      • Child Whining
        • child-whining-menu-thChild Whining
        • If your family is a reasonably happy family with lots of opportunities to grow, loving members, and a good purchasing power, then there should not be much to complain for your child. Your child’s room is brimming with toys, you have enrolled your child in a good school, and you are ready to give your support to your child, yet he or she complains. What is the problem?

          The problem is that your kid has a distortion of reality. They are focused on just a small part of their experience in life. This focus on the small part where they don’t get what they want is really a toxic poison…because their reality if filled with many, many moments when they are getting everything a child could want.
        • Close
      • Picky Eating
        • picky-eating-menu-thPicky Eating
        • Picky eating can become a serious clinical issue, and represents a threat to your child’s future. ..if unhealthy habits continue.

          Getting a handle on the core parenting tactics that turn the picky eater into a healthy eater is priority one.
        • Close
      • Siblings Battle
        • siblings-fight-menu-thSiblings Battle
        • When children are bickering, picking on each other, fighting, and arguing, parents often lose it. Research reveals that most parents think they should intervene in their children’s conflicts and arguments.

          They think they should be intervening earlier to resolve issues for their children. But most parents don’t intervene until the conflict escalates, then they yell and threaten.

          This doesn’t work well. You need a clear plan to nurture cooperative, healthy behavior among siblings.
        • Close
      • Separation & Divorce
        • separation-divorce-menu-thSeparation & Divorce
        • Under very difficult circumstances, there are times when the other parent will not communicate with you. Under these circumstances, learn all that you can about co-parenting. Take all the steps that you possibly can to protect your children and implement these consistently and regularly.

          In other words, do everything that you can to effectively parent with that part of your children’s lives that you do have control over. Make certain that everything that you do in your home and in the kids’ lives is healthy and beneficial for your children. Again, educate yourself. Consider participating in a divorce education program…even if your ex refuses. Be more focused on what you can control…and begin to put less energy into decisions out of your control.
        • Close
      • Temper Tantrums
        • temper-tantrums-menu-thTemper Tantrums
        • Temper tantrums can range from the mild tantrum, where your child is stomping her feet and giving ugly looks … to the more moderate forms of outbursts where she flop’s on the floor, yells or whines loudly, and perhaps sits down in protest and throws a few toys.

          And then there are the ballistic, severe out-of-control tantrums! Such extreme tantrums evolve for various reasons. Frequently, I see these extreme tantrums with certain strong-willed or more oppositional children. Certainly, such children are more prone to severe tantrums and outbursts.
        • Close
      • Toddler Tantrums
        • toddler-tantrums-menu-thToddler Tantrums
        • We often think of temper tantrums as synonymous with toddlers, yet this is certainly not the case. While most toddles are prone to an occasional tantrum, it’s the toddler who tantrums three…four… even five times a day that starts to drive us crazy. Yet, most of the parents who come to me for help are dealing with something even more challenging.

          The out-of-control, scream at the top of your lungs, stomp your feet, fall on the floor and throw your toys as hard as you can tantrum. The REAL melt-down tantrum…pull out your hair because you just can’t take another second of screaming.
        • Close
      • Overweight Child
        • overweight-child-menu-thOverweight Child
        • You want your child to be healthy, to be happy, and you want your child to fit in…

          But you just aren’t sure how you can help your child lose the unwanted weight and feel good about themselves. You just aren’t sure how you can encourage them to get healthy and develop good eating habits.

          Well, you no longer have to worry because I am going to give you a series of steps that will bring your kids closer to healthy routines and healthy eating.

The harder you work to help them, the more your child argues for what they can’t do, or can’t learn or can’t figure or can’t even try. They aren’t working to build their confidence, but YOU ARE. This approach never works.

This program offers you, Mom and Dad, a way out of constanting trying to boost their confidence and build their esteem. Get it now, and watch the changes begin.

        • Siblings battling and yelling and fighting…it can be exhausting, loud and make a home miserable. Almost always, what most of us do instinctively is only making things worse over the long term. In trying to fix the ‘moment’ so the house is better, calmer right now… you end up doing the same thing you did yesterday, and the day before. It’s not working.

          If sibling battles are driving you crazy, consider getting this program. The strategy is one that puts you back in control of your home. Is it magic? No. And it does take a few weeks, unlike some of the other programs. Because your kids feed off of each other’s energy, as well as yours…and this makes it tough.

          This program offers you specific guidance for dealing with behavior issues, daily routines, bad attitudes and poor habits.

        • Mom….Dad…If you have a defiant, challenging child, I suspect you are pulling your hair out sometimes. This is particularly true if you are trying to use common parenting strategies with your defiant, oppositional, or strong-willed child. They do not work. You simply must throw the normal rules out the window. And yet, most of you with these more challenging children already know this. Why? Because you have likely tried all the tips you can get, and yet… nothing is working. (and it͛s not going to…unfortunately).

          IF this is you, then you might consider The Defiant Child Program. This program will get you started right away, and each day…offer you a bit more. It͛s set up to give you a small DAILY piece to practice, adding a bit more to the formula over 7 days. Most parents are seeing the changes within the first five days!
