Dear Dedicated Parent,After working with hundreds of parents over the past 22 years, I’d like to share a proven, systematic approach to raising children that will not only allow you to have an amazing relationship with them, but will also give you the tools to help them have a happy, successful life.Your life and your children’s lives could be so much more joyful by using the system I have developed. In fact, I call it the Effective Parenting Method.By practicing this method personally, my two daughters have the high self-esteem and vibrant self-confidence that has helped them become the master of their lives – from their ability to create nurturing relationships, to their love of learning, and to their amazing ability to deal effectively with whatever life presents them with.How did we as a family accomplish that? By developing a method based on one fundamental principle: Our beliefs about ourselves, people, and life are crucial in determining how we live.This may seem obvious, but don’t let that fool you. In fact, right now you may be doing things (or failing to do things) that will lead your beautiful, young children to a negative conclusion or belief about themselves, others or life… without you even realizing it.How scary is that?I can’t tell you how many parents have asked me these questions about their children:    * How come my daughter cares so much about what people think?    * Why doesn’t my son express his feelings?    * Why don’t my kids want to do their best?    * Why do they get so stressed out at school or become angry so easily?The answer is they’ve formed beliefs – most of which they are not aware of – that cause them to behave in these ways. And guess what? Most of their beliefs come from you. Yes, you, their parent, from interpreting what they saw you or your spouse say or do when they were very young.I know this might be hard to accept, and may even be a little confusing, but please keep reading because there is good news and we are here to share it with you!My husband and I, along with Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen, have developed a special guide called The Chicken Soup for the Soul Guide to Effective Parenting.What you will learn when you read this step-by-step tutorial:    * To positively influence your children in powerful ways that lead to higher levels of self-esteem, joy and confidence.    * To help your children create a level of personal responsibility that allows them to succeed in every area of their life.You’re probably thinking this sounds great, but how? Well, it starts with you. By going through the material, you become completely aware of the way you deal with everyday situations such as chores, homework and getting your kids to bed. If you are like most parents, chores, homework and bedtime are not always stress-free. Many of our clients ask us:    * Why does it always have to be a screaming match?    * Isn’t there an easier way?If this scenario sounds familiar, you’re most likely helping them create negative conclusions and beliefs about themselves.With our unique approach in the Chicken Soup for the Soul Guide to Effective Parenting, you’ll learn how to handle these same situations with a much more positive outcome. You will learn techniques that will change your home life forever. You’ll be happy. And, when you’re happy, your kids are happy.Here are even more examples of the things you’ll learn:    * How to get your kids to do things like homework, brushing their teeth, and cleaning their room – without a battle.    * How the way you express anger can be harmful to your children and how a 7-word sentence can help avoid the damage it causes.    * How to teach your kids to respect your own personal boundaries.      …and so much more!After reading The Chicken Soup for the Soul Guide to Effective Parenting, you’ll find that you don’t need to read dozens of other books. The principles we share will allow you to solve many of your parenting problems, simply and easily
