This DVD is great for new parents, parents looking for tools to communicate with their child, or pretty much any parent who's ever been frustrated when dealing with their child. The steps outlined are very simple, yet very good advice. It uses effective examples to illustrate its points and entertains while doing so.

In 20 minutes I received 10 simple steps to correct undesired behavior! As a busy Mom I don't have time to read a couple hundred pages of a parenting guide. I LOVE this simple 10 step program and it really works. Don uses real life examples that occur every day in my household. I was able to quickly watch this DVD and implement some of these fabulous techniques with my five year old. We now have a calmer more direct mode of communication, both of our behavior is more positive & everyone is much happier! Thank You Don!!

This DVD summarizes a lot of skills and tactics I read in several parenting books.
Excellent, straightforward, and effective! There's even a short funny video after each skill to show how to implement it!

I am a PhD student and I work with families of young children with developmental delays. I found this video very concise and useful. I'll definitely have it on hand in my every day practice. I have recommended it to many families, as well as other early interventionists. Particularly I use it to educate families that have been recently diagnosed with a child with developmental delays, including autism.

I have a Master's Degree in Early Childhood Education and this is one of the most appropriate parenting videos I have seen. Many of the steps are strategies I use in my classroom everyday. The video is not long, which is nice, and you will be able to take ideas away from it and apply into your life the minute you turn it off. I think the video delivers what it promises. I would definately recommend it to parents.

WOW!!! Finally a video that takes all that psycho babble and puts things in laymen's terms.

Every Parent and even non-parent need to buy this dvd. I'm a martial arts instructor with a degree in Psychology with a behavior emphasis that has been using behavioral techniques with our students and staff alike for years. I was sooo impressed at the ease Don has taken in developing such a comprehensive tool that anyone can understand. I've only had the DVD for less than 24 hours and have already watched it 3 times and have already told my staff, sister, friends and student parents they need to get this dvd.

Thank you Don for a tool that will change lives!!! I've already implemented mandatory staff training to help my instructors in the classroom and will continue to tell every parent I meet about your program.

You Rock!!! When's the next DVD coming out?

This CD has great tips for getting your children to listen and "comply" with your requests. I especially liked the "timer, timer, timer" technique. This CD is worth the money and the time. Highly recommend it!!

This video is immediately useful. The information is clear, concise, and (best of all) actionable. You can literally watch this video and begin to utilize the information to impact your child's behavior. Good stuff!

Wonderful video for parents of Children that love to procrastinate. Gives fast tips that start working right away...

I am always looking for help when it comes to raising, communicating and disciplining my child. I read books, magazines and watch videos to learn anything and everything I can to be a better parent. (This DVD is helpful, informative and a must see.) It is basic in terms of the things it teaches - easy for parents to understand and relate to. The ideas and methods can help in our everyday lives and will hopefully help me be a better parent.
