Parenting does not have to be complicated. It does, however, have to be consistent. Children are brilliant in their perception of inconsistency, "But Daddy said I could." and they will point out every inconsistent thought we present to them. This series is based on sound psychology presented in an easy to understand manner and featuring easy to use methods. This program will help you create a positive change in your parenting style. The material for this series is based on two of the most effective parenting models available today. The goal of this series is to create parenting experts out of each parent who attends these discussions.
