Every day your child's development, budding independence, and power increase, and every day you correct that behavior in ways that can surprise you or catch you off guard.

   • You wonder how your parenting style will affect your child ages 4-18?
   • You wonder if your child will have high self esteem and resist peer pressure?
   • You wonder if he'll ever stay in bed, eat a decent meal, stop arguing and saying No?

Two Ways to Participate!

You’re busy all day long—everyday. We know because we have kids too!
So we designed this series to fit into your life.

You can listen at home or upload it to your iPod to listen in the car or at the gym.
You listen when you have time. You listen from anywhere in the world!
AND now you can:

Purchase each module individually

or
Purchase the entire series at a reduced rate

How Much Does this Cost?

If you purchased everything I offer in this series individually—
You would pay $820.00—But that is not the price!

Individually you'd pay:
4, 2.5 hr. seminars at $75 per couple costs: $300.00 
Attending a live seminar means: Clearing the evening, getting a sitter, putting gas in the car and staying awake at the end of a long exhausting day. That’s enough to prevent parents from leaving the house.  

That's why this is a downloadable series. Parents listen from the comfort of their home, when it’s convenient for them, and attend from anywhere in the world. Each module comes with a support handbook with 3 real-life conversations, one for 3-7 yr. olds, one for ages 8-13, and one for tweens/teens showing you how to apply what’s been discussed.

4 coaching sessions at $95 per hr. x 4 costs: $380.00 
Few parents can justify spending $380.00 on private coaching to find out what to say as they apply new parenting concepts to their everyday lives.

The Series feels like you have a personal coach talking just to you, instructing you on what to do and pointing out the possible traps you could find yourself in that might cause you to react.

4, 1 hr. Q&A classes at $35 x 4 costs: $140.00 
Most parents attend a live Q&A class so they can ask a personal question about their child.

This series makes you feel like you're in a live class listening to other parents ask their questions. The live questions allow my responses to expose possible traps and share even more ways to apply the new methods.

Your total cost for *The BreakThrough Skills Series* is:
$59.00 per module, when purchased individually

Still Deciding?

Did you know that the way you correct behavior and deliver boundaries when your
child is in early childhood influences how your child will behave as he or she grows?
Scary, isn’t it.

A child’s development during early childhood causes the first bids for power and independence that a child experiences and a parent has to correct. Those developmental phases unleash misbehavior, power struggles, refusals to cooperate, disrespect and outbursts.

What parents don’t realize, because they haven’t parented an older child yet, is what’s learned during early childhood unconsciously surfaces again during each developmental cycle as a child grows.

If a parent yells and punishes in order to change behavior and enforce boundaries,
a child comes to learn that they don’t have to be responsible for their behavior—their parent does it for them. The child realizes that the only thing that happens when they misbehave is they either have to sit in timeout, have something taken away, or say whatever they think their parent wants them to say. What they don’t have to do is fix
or take responsibility for what they’ve done. No real learning occurs.

The BreakThrough Skills Series shares another way. This series will empower you
to calmly, firmly, without being permissive, create respect, shift behavior, reduce
reactions and outbursts to guide your child from mistakes to wisdom so they hear
you and can truly learn about their behavior.

In other words what you do NOW does matter.

Let’s face it, you might still be deciding whether or not you want
to make some parenting changes, but your child’s development
marches on whether you’re ready to make changes or not.
