Early intervention is always better than crisis management - but it is never too late to do the right thing.

"Rules without relationship leads to rebellion" (Josh McDowell)

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)

Children fare better when expectations on them are clear and firm.

Being a parent of a teenager can cure a person of narcissism.

You cannot reason with someone who is being unreasonable.

Hurt people hurt people.

When a child is disregulated - is the time parents need to be regulated.

Adolescence can be the cruelest place on earth. It can really be heartless.  ( Tori Amos)

How Can Behavioural Management Systems Help?

There is an overwhelming array of theories, books, courses, seminars, and videos designed to assist parents. Unfortunately this help is frequently confusing and often contradictory. Behavioural Management Systems helps parents figure out practical ways of solving behaviour problems.

Your knowledge of your child and family, combined with Rick’s experience can lead to solutions to your behaviour concerns.

Parents may not feel like experts but nobody knows their child better than them and nobody knows their own strengths and weaknesses better than them and nobody is in a better position to decide what’s best for their child!

What kinds of behaviour problems:

  • noncompliance
  • aggression
  • self-injurious behaviour
  • running away
  • bedtime/mealtime problems
  • school issues / homework
  • substance abuse
  • whining
  • temper tantrums
  • disrespect
  • swearing
  • messy rooms
  • sibling / peer problems
  • more

What parents need most are ideas because with ideas we get options.

Rick Harper has been providing ideas to parents and teachers for over 40 years.
