Positive Parenting Practices I

Parenting: It’s the toughest job we’ll ever love! Join “Dr. Mac”, the internationally known behavior expert on a journey into the realm of positive parenting. Gain a solid understanding of why kids (and their parents) behave as they do. Learn the principles that influence the behavior patterns of children. Use them to your advantage, as you guide your own youngsters toward the making of good behavior choices.
With the Positive Parenting Practices app, you’ll develop skill in decoding the reasons behind your child’s actions. You’ll discover why many recommended approaches fail so miserably, and become savvy in the effective use of proven behavior change strategies.
Once you’re proficient at these skills, it’s time to move on to Dr. Mac’s second app in the series: Advanced Positive Parenting Practices. In that app, you’ll go beyond the basics to master the effective use of directions, praise, criticism, and problem solving meetings.
