Positive Parenting Practices” was developed to help parents raise children who are:

"I love how you brought applied psychology and child development out of the college classroom and into my home. I’m making connections that I hadn’t made before."

The information and strategies in this 2 hour video podcast enable you to masterfully teach inner control of behavior so that your kids make good behavior choices even when the elders aren't around. They hear an inner voice that continues to guide them well through adolescence and into adulthood.

Positive Parenting Practices presents sound, research-based information that is translated into everyday language. You'll become crackerjack in powerful behavior molding procedures such as time out, task analysis, shaping, problem solving, and positive & negative reinforcement. You'll be able to go far beyond the simplistic parent magazine advice and 10 tips articles. You'll be accomplished in the teaching of appropriate replacement behaviours for the actions that presently cause you concern. You'll be knowledgeable of the hazards of using punishment, skillful in avoiding those problems, and practiced in strategies for using positivity in effective (not wimpy) ways. The upcoming 2nd app in the series will focus on effective phrasing (giving praise, criticism, directions), along with other strategies for guiding child behavior. A 3rd app is planned for parents of children with ADHD.
