The more 2 parents differ in their approaches to discipline, the more likely it leads to trouble for the child.

"To be a man, a boy must see a man."  (J.R. Moehringer)

Parents' Comments

“Our psychiatrist recommended Rick to help us sort out behaviour management issues for our autistic son. He was an invaluable help.”

(C.C. – Sarnia)
