Help.....it's hopeless!

As I travel and do more conferences, I am stunned by the level of frustration and feelings of hopelessness. Many homes are like those we see on television nanny programs. Parents love their children but don't have the tools to parent properly. You would think that with all the books and literature produced about parenting that solving problems would be a simple matter of reading a book.

Unfortunately, books skim the surface of problems and deal with only one area at a time. You would have to read hundreds in order to know how to deal with every problem of parenting. Some problems will never be dealt with in a book. Publishers have to make money to stay in business. They can't afford to spend thousands publishing a book that will appeal to a small percentage of people. So where can that small percentage go to find help?

They can call or send me an e-mail. I am in the process of writing booklets (over 80 of them) to serve every area of parenting not just the big topics. These booklets may only start the process or for some they may list steps to solving the problem. Either way....I am your partner. We can do this.

If you have read my bio on the website, you know that I have a psychology degree. I don't want to ever make anyone serving in the psychological field feel bad about their job. However, you must be careful in believing everything you hear. The overall feeling of contemporary psychology is that parenting is a losing project. According to their philosophy, you can love your baby, have fun with your preschooler, be involved with your elementary student; but when it comes to pre-teen and teens - your life as a parent is over. At that point you will suffer no matter what you do to prevent it. Your child is destined to be rebellious and hard to handle and basically will make your life miserable. You will be forced to watch the divide between you and your child grow into the Grand Canyon and it will probably end your relationship.

How depressing! Why would anyone want to have children knowing that's in their future.

Well my depressed parent....I HAVE GOOD NEWS!!!!

CONTEMPORARY PSYCHOLOGY IS LYING TO YOU

God has given you the tools and the abilities to have a great child, a warm and loving home and a relationship that will last until you're laying in a hospital room preparing to die. You can raise children who care about your well being and who will provide a lifetime of love and will have personal lives you can admire! Whether you are a Christian or not - you have the tools within your scope of parenting.

Parents are the most powerful people in the world. We have the ability to change the future!

"Alright Debbie! Tell me how....please tell me how."

It's not that hard and it won't take days of time. It will take a commitment and some determination.

Start by sending me an e-mail and letting me know what problems you have. ALL PARENTING AND FAMILY ISSUES CAN BE SOLVED. You may have to suffer a few consequences along the way, but they can be solved. It will be easier if we begin a plan when children are young, but older children and adults will respond as well. IT'S NOT HOPELESS.

Call your church, school or social group and ask for The Family Training Center to come and do some of our 80 classes. Even though I was also bound by some of the issues within the publishing business, I encourage you to get my new book, Discipline Exposed. I worked extremely hard to provide the necessary information for you, the reader, to instantly see why your child isn't responding to your parenting style. I also included ways you can improve that style and get the results you want. Discipline Exposed is not a gimmick, it's a way of life that transforms everyone in the family.

I can also teach you the steps you need to learn how to be a Mommy Detective and find out those little clues that will lead to success. There's a 5 point plan on how to be a Mommy Detective on my website. I'm in the process of writing my second book, Mommy Detective so you can evaluate your own home.

Parenting is not a hopeless project. You can do this! I guarantee it!

Write me and let's get started to making your home all you envisioned it to be.

Seeking His Wisdom,

Debbie
