The mistake that Sharon and I both made is we never set any boundaries.  (Ozzy Osbourne)

Good parenting requires sacrifice. Childhood lasts for only a few brief years , but it should be given priority while it is passing before your eyes

"Cutting" is a visible sign to the world that you are hurting.

If it  was going to be easy to raise kids, it never would have started with something called "labour".

If you are headed in the wrong direction as a parent - you are allowed to make a U-turn.

Parenting style matters - a lot!

The best inheritance  parents can give their children is a few minutes of their time each day.

"The thing that impresses me most about North America is the way parents obey their children"    (King Edward VII , 1841-1910)

The quickest way to change your child’s behaviour is to first change your own.

We should not medicate the boys so they fit the school; we should change the school to fit the boy. (Leonard Sax, M.D. Ph.D)

Behaviour Management in the Classroom

“I go home from school every night exhausted from the constant power struggles!”

“10% of the students in my class cause 90% of the behaviour problems!”

“Managing the children in my class takes as much time and energy as teaching them!”

“Teaching isn’t fun anymore. I don’t know how much longer I can keep doing this!”

This workshop presents proven strategies that replace “misbehaviour” in the classroom with “cooperation” without the need for lecturing, threatening, reasoning, cajoling, yelling, sending them to the office, etc. (3 hours)

Parents' Comments

“Our daughter was the joy of our life until she turned 13, then all hell broke loose. Rick helped us understand what was happening to her and we made some adjustments that helped us get through it. She’s now in University and doing well.”

(D.A. – St. Thomas)
