Sample Chapter

Read the first chapter
of The Think Space:

While waiting to be seated at a popular restaurant near our home, my wife and I noticed a young child, about three years old, making a fuss over something at a nearby table. The mother made one attempt to correct the situation. Seeing that her effort was being ignored, the mother did something that we had never seen a parent do in just that way...

Everything you say to a child either builds him up or tears him down.
There is no middle ground.

Do you ever wonder what to do about the challenging behaviors of the children in your life?. . .

The Think Space is a plan to help children take responsibility for their own behavioral choices while offering adults a safe and responsible way to remove themselves from the emotional loop of misbehavior.

This technique is built on two primary premises:

1) Children repeat behaviors that work and discard behaviors that do not work, and
2) When you help children change the way they think, their behavior adjusts - naturally.

The Think Space uses a six-point procedure that quietly communicates several positive messages - from unconditional love to personal responsibility. While The Think Space is time-intensive at the beginning, the investment is well worth the effort. When applied correctly, The Think Space is both powerful and rewarding.

DWD Placemats

(Click to enlarge.)

Michelle Hayward, a DWD grad, has designed a pair of really clever aids to remind her of the various DWD tools and “handles” as she works with children. When she sent the idea to us, we first designed her concepts as two posters. Then, as Carolyn was studying a proof copy, she had the bright idea of making them into placemats. Now, here’s your opportunity to have all the DWD tools right before your eyes. And your success will be that much closer to reality!

These attractive placemats are laminated in heavy-duty plastic, making an ideal way to review your DWD options as you eat your breakfast or drink your morning coffee. On the back are lightly-printed reminders about the various products and services available through DWD and Take fiVe Publications.

Purchase the set of two for $8.

Each placemat is 12”x 18”
