Welcome to My World!

It’s a world where kids behave, where mothers are patient, where things are calm.

No, this is not a fantasy world.

It’s my real world. And it can be yours, too.

It didn’t happen overnight. It didn’t even happen after a couple of hard lessons. But I learned how to teach my kids to be better kids. Really. It works. I’ll show you how.

I’ve created a simple method of parenting that helps children understand their part in their behavior. It’s a system based on reward, not punishment. On achievement, not bribery. You can take your child from tantrum-loving problem to self-possessed angel without having to devote hours and earnings to psychotherapy (for you and your loved ones).

Consider this:

• A child went from foul-mouthed to sweet-tempered virtually overnight.
• Bickering kids learned how to work together rather than fight.
• Time-outs and punishments became a thing of the past.
• The family grew closer.

For a long time, I was like a lot of other moms: frustrated and even frenzied despite all of my best efforts to be the best, most patient and caring mother I could be. But my four children were, to put it mildly, a handful for me and my husband, Cory. I wanted to be the perfect example of motherhood. But when your kids don’t listen, it doesn’t matter how sane you tell yourself to be, or how rational you feel you are. You end up feeling crazy when your children ignore you. This happened to me. I found myself disliking both my behavior as well as my children’s behavior.

Nobody wants to be a bad parent. But until now, nobody, not even the best childrearing experts, has been able to explain how to allow your children to be good children. I said allow — because this process is all about empowerment, for you and your kids.

I will take you through my process, and show you how I have helped many mothers — and many families — learn the joy of being together, because there’s real happiness rather than resentments at home. It’s easy as pie. Really. I’ll give you the recipe.

I’ve got lots of interesting things here for you to explore. Not only will I provide you with the details of my parenting method, I’ll talk about what you can learn through my book, What You Don’t Fix…Your Kids Inherit, which explores how I came to do the things I do, and the way in which I created my sure-fire parenting method.

In addition, I will offer you samples of my funny and incisive Parenting Chat Cafe Podcast, and introduce you to my blog about the day-to-day lessons and treasures I’ve assembled through my own family.

I also offer coaching to mothers, giving you the opportunity to share your situations and working with you to arrive at a solution that will make you, your children and your family so much happier.

I invite you to join me on this journey to make your family life happier and your children more loving and behaved.
