Teleclasses are the most convenient way to learn and gain knowledge
in today’s hectic world. With state-of-the-art telephone
conferencing technologies, you can have access to experienced
parenting experts with just a simple telephone call each week. More
than that, you and other parents will form a supportive community,
sharing valuable information, ideas and experience with other
callers.
Through a program designed for learning effectiveness, your
instructor will facilitate you and other parents through a
week-by-week class. There will be small lectures and new ideas from
the instructor, and the best part of the teleclass is the
discussion that you, the instructor and other parents have.
Typically these classes will have between 10-30 people in
attendance.
All you need to participate in a teleclass is access to a
telephone, about one hour per week, a desire to learn, and to
register. This is how simple it is to have access to leading experts
and a community of fellow parents.

and gives them the foundation for increasing their parent
effectiveness. This course gives insight into your teen's behaviors,
your own parenting style, and provides tools to more effectively
communicate and work with your child. This class is required before
taking any advanced courses.
Have you ever wondered who took your sweet, compliant child and
replaced him with this oppositional teenager who challenges every
rule? During this first week, parents will be able to assess their
parenting style and learn the difference between effective and
ineffective styles of parenting. They will begin to see how they can
respond differently to their teen to produce more positive results.
The concept of proactive vs. reactive parenting will be introduced.
Have you ever asked your teen, "Why do you do it?" Well, during this
class find out why. This week, parents will learn the 4 causes of
misbehavior in children and teens plus 3 other reasons why teens
misbehave. They will learn how to quickly identify the cause of
misbehavior and how to help the teen satisfy his need in a positive
way.
Ever have your teenager laugh at you when you told her she was
grounded? In this class, parents will learn why punishment does not
work and what to do instead. They will learn how to respond to teens
when they do not comply with limits or consequences. Finally,
parents will learn how to avoid power struggles and what to do if
they get into a power struggle.
Have you ever ask your teen how was school and he says, "Fine." Then
ask him what he did, only to hear, "Nothing." In this class, parents
learn why teens tune out parents and how to talk with them so that
they will listen. Parents learn how to talk with their teenager so
that they become more responsible, independent, and loving.

Advanced Level:
Love-Based Parenting II™ (4-weeks)
(For graduates of the 4-week Love-Based Parenting I Course)
The advanced course is designed for parents who already have a
foundation in love-based parenting. This course will explore common
parental concerns such as: school achievement, independence,
self-esteem, peer pressure, bullying, sibling rivalry, drugs and
alcohol, lying, and delinquency. The lessons in this course will be
supplemented by interactive discussion among parents, who will join
the instructor in brainstorming effective solutions to common
parenting problems.
Have you ever felt frustrated because you know your child is capable
of much more than s/he is producing in school? In this class,
parents will learn the various reasons for teenage underachievement
in school, discuss other school-related issues, and brainstorm
effective solutions.
This class will focus on some of the more sensitive topics
concerning parents of today’s teenagers. Participants will share
concerns and together brainstorm effective strategies for managing
these difficulty issues. The concept of "normal" teenage behavior
will be discussed, as will the issue of how and when to intervene.
Low self-esteem is correlated with delinquency, drug abuse, and
problems in school. This class will focus on discussing causes of a
low self-esteem and poor self-image. Participants will learn how to
avoid the trap of making the situation worse and brainstorm creative
ways that actually work in helping teenagers experience sustaining
positive feelings of self-regard.
Conducting family meetings, networking with other parents, and
expanding your community support network will all be explored in
this class. During this last week, participants are honored for
their active participation. Together the group will develop methods
for expanding, nurturing and supporting a community of parents
committed to self-development and loving their teenage child in the
best possible way.
