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

Parents are the external regulator for kids who cannot regulate themselves.

"Unexpressed feeling never die. They are buried alive and come back later in ugly ways." (Stephen Covey)

"Parents aren't the cause of ADHD, but they are part of the solution." (Kenny Handleman, M.D.)

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

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

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

If there is no relationship - nothing else matters !

Parenting style matters - a lot!

Simple rules adhered to when children are young can prevent more serious problems later.

Sex Change

“Our universities have undergone a sex change !”

I recently attended a conference presented by Dr. Leonard Sax (M.D., Ph.D.) who shared the following data from Statistics Canada:

1971 – 68% of Canadian university graduates were male

1981 – 54% were male

1991 – 51% were male

2001 – 42% were male

2006 – 40% were male

This data clearly indicates that a growing proportion of males are “disengaging” from school. More and more of them believe school is a bore, a waste of time, a tedium they endure each day”

Houston , we have a problem!

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