ONLINE PARENTING COACH

Thanks Mark, Yes the tough reality... I have made lots of mistakes.... But today is a new day and a fresh start. My son came home last night at 7.35pm after I made it clear that he needs to be home no later than 7pm for dinner... He tried arguing with me but I kept my poker face and explained that I had said 7pm and that the grounding would start again from now. With the support of my husband and lots of patience we got through a tough morning. My son tried everything to get me to give his shoes back, real temper tantrums...he chopped up his old shoes, burnt another pair, carried on, broke a mirror, but I didn't budge. He found another old pair to put on and I told him after the 3 day grounding he could have his shoes back... Thanks for your support. Kind regards, S. Online Parent Support

Mark, I wanted to thank you for such a wonderful program. My wife and I have been utilizing the steps with our 18 year old son and have achieved remarkable results. Recently, a friend of mine told me of his 18 year old daughter who was giving them problems similar to what we experienced with our son. I shared some of your steps and techniques. He had his first "encounter" with his daughter last night. He "put on his poker face" and dealt with the issue unemotionally and factually. He came in this morning and reported that to his amazement it worked. His daughter returned home with him and they are now working on moving to the next phase of their relationship. Again, thank you. I tell everyone I know about www.myoutofcontrolteen.com and how well the program works. Keep up the good work! Best Regards, G.W.

I got your program because I was needing help, help to stop screaming and having an awful day everyday because I couldn't get my kids to do anything that was expected of them. I learned a lot of our Parenting Newsletters, I read them every time the come into my inbox. I do not miss an issue! However, with my kids I needed more. My mother accuses me of being a liberal parent. Which I am sure that most of the parents from my generation are, I'm 33 years old. My father was impossibly hard and my mother was the typical housewife, "Listen to your father and you'll be ok." I swore I would give more to my children, more freedom, more understanding but through it all, I realized that you don't love them more if you give them MORE room to breathe. At times, you are actually hurting them. The seem to be less confident, wanting to push the rules more because they already g...
