We give you tools that help children solve their own problems.

One of great stress producers in raising children is trying to solve their problems for them. On the other hand, think of how much stress you would unload if you could get them to solve their own problems.

Problems like:

baby-in-box

  • Getting kids to bed easily.
  • Getting kids up and dressed without a hassle.
  • Getting kids to wear their seat belts — voluntarily!
  • Halt fussing and fighting in the car.
  • Arrest the whining habit.
  • Quieting temper tantrums — safely.
  • Turn stubbornness into willingness.
  • Reduce bath time resistance to zero.
  • Use the “me first” or “I had it first” syndrome as great building blocks for courtesy.
  • Turn rudeness into gentleness.
  • Encourage individuality and assertiveness in the compliant child.
  • Why the behavior that you are trying to stop ends up staying the same or even gets worse!
  • What to do when your child says “no” to YOU, or worse — sasses back.
