positive parenting

I started PositiveParenting.com in 1995 to provide parents with information that makes parenting more rewarding, effective and fun. I have taught these classes and workshops to thousands of parents in the U.S., India and China.  I have found that parents around the world have one thing in common– they love their kids and want to do the right thing regarding discipline.  The tools I teach you will give you more confidence in your parenting and give you a better relationship with your children, while at the same time correcting their misbehavior.
I have received so many requests over the years to put my teachings online for parents who cannot attend my classes.  So here it is.  My Workshops, Pep-Talks, Dial-A-Discipline and online classes are now available here on my website.

I teach classes and workshops in my local area, and also travel the country and the world.  But who I really want to reach is YOU.  The parent in any place in the world, doing your best to raise your kids. Maybe you’re feeling helpless, frustrated, angry, uncertain or gosh knows what else, but very often NOT having much fun!  So you search the net, looking for answers, and my website pops up.  I want you to know that I have worked with parents for over 20 years, and somewhere in this site, in this information, is an answer to whatever your dilemma maybe, especially if it’s about discipline and behavior in your kids.  In keeping with the times, I am now providing the information in many different formats, including MP3 and e-book formats.

Because I can’t have everyone in my classes I have put some of my best work on my website.  Along with my classes, I have a tool called “Dial-A-Disicpline”.  This is a wheel that will help you figure out what to do when your child misbehaves. If you can’t attend a class and would like a to purchase one you now can.  I also recorded an hour of instructions on MP3 where I teach you exactly how to use it.  The parents that have purchased this wheel report that it is extremely valuable and useful to use when the kids are acting up.  There is a magnet on the back to you can hang it on the fridge.

More information and video’s for Dial-A-Discipline are available here.

I’m very excited about my workshops which are now available for download as MP3 files. I have 5 titles so far, my favorite workshop being, “No I Won’t and you Can’t Make Me!” – Effectively Dealing with Power Struggles.  My physical  workshops and classes are usually within a two hour drive of Ventura, California and almost always full.  I’ve been teaching these for years, but only have started recording my workshops recently.  Check back regularly as I will be adding more and more topics as MP3 downloads.  If you want receive updates from me with my newest classes please sign up for my email newsletter.
