A five-point plan for raising responsible, independent kids…
In this ground breaking program, the author, Mac Bledsoe, urges parents to rethink their approach to discipline. As an example, he recommends that parents let kids make some of their own decisions to experience the consequences early on. In this way, they will learn to act responsibly when left alone, and become more independent as they grow older.
You can spend 20 years learning how to accomplish this by "experimenting" with hit-or-miss ideas, or you can watch a program that offers a proven plan for raising responsible, self-directed children.
Get beyond crisis management. . .

Our children don't need to be "fixed",

Parenting with Dignity encourages parents and caregivers to rethink their approach to discipline, punishment and empowerment. PWD advocates permitting children to make some of their own decisions, and to experience the consequences early on, so they can act responsibly – when away from parents, or under peer pressure, so they become more independent as they grow older. Mac Bledsoe, President and Founder of Parenting with Dignity, is a parent, school teacher, coach and gifted author. The premise of his Parenting with Dignity philosophy is . . . |
"Our children will make all of the most important decisions in their lives - on their own. As parents, the only thing we can do is teach them how to make good decisions".
Ideally, the video course is best viewed by groups of parents over a period of time. We have found that the best results are obtained when viewed in small groups with a discussion following each module.
