Can I Get a Certificate?

Image
Hi S. I've answered each of your questions below: 1) Is the e-book set up so that I must listen/observe 90 minute sessions on the computer at one sitting, or is it self-paced? ==> You go at your own pace. 2) Are all 4 sessions available to me at one time once I pay. ==> Yes. 3) Is there a certificate that you provide to parents or others who have worked through the workshops either on or offline? ==> Yes. When you feel you are ready to take a short easy quiz, just email and tell me you want to take the quiz so you can receive the certificate (it's an open ebook quiz by the way). Then I'll give you the quiz (via email), grade it, and send you your certificate (via email). Mark www.MyOutOfControlTeen.com

Horrible to have your child screaming at you and to have the tail wag the dog... Thanks K. ------------------------ Hi K. Here's what I use in my house: PC-Tattletale Parental Control Software

While being an assertive parent already {although I realise I can brush up on my skills}, my latest challenge comes with many complexities. My 15 year old daughter has had many different diagnosies from mild aspergers to borderline personality disorder, the latter being the most appropriate. While I have been relatively successful with my power of influence I am having great difficulty in keeping her in at night as alcohol is her latest passion. She was involved or maybe I should say instigated an alcohol-induced decision to have a party at my parent’s house. This involved a lot of damage to the house and my fathers brand new Jaguar. So as you can imagine this did not go over too well. She has suffered the consequences, which was an apology, loss of her allowance for 10 weeks and no internet access. I know she felt very remorseful but her guilt led her t...
