Product Description

Winner of The National Parenting Center's Seal of Approval

Now, on-the-go parents can enjoy the award-winning Common Sense Parenting program in the comfort of their own home. A must-have in lending libraries, this kit addresses the needs of parents who lack either the time or the resources to attend evening classes or weekend workshops.

The kit gives parents the following:

Two videotapes with three hours of content, allowing viewers to sit in on actual parenting classes and watch a skilled trainer explain parenting techniques. Hear answers to questions asked by participants, watch taped vignettes of problem situations and see how the skills are implemented. Exercises are also included to test viewer's comprehension of the concepts.

A workbook accompanies the tapes to reinforce and expand on key points made by the trainer and to outline the steps of each parenting technique presented. Written copies of the exercises are included.

Topics of the six class sessions:

parents as teachers

encouraging positive behavior

preventing misbehavior

correcting problem behavior

handling emotionally intense situations

helping children succeed in school

I was very disappointed because I didn't receive a video in my package. I felt it was a rip-off and very deceptive!!!

I have taught this program for a year now and I can tell you that it is the best parenting program I have ever seen. This program really works. I have used it with my own children and have been amazed at the results. Buy this program - it really works!
