Winning Parents - audio book saga complete…

May 30th, 2008

OR, is this just the beginning?

For Starters, allow me to say that we really appreciate your help in making this tough decision.

Also, we’re very excited to celebrate the fortune of one father who will be the first to receive a copy of the Breakthrough Parenting Audio Book.

As you know we’ve been running a contest, and as of today, that contest will be closed. We’re sorry you missed it, and we encourage you to act quickly in the future.

And now, on to the good stuff! Drum roll please!

Who won the Breakthrough Parenting Audio Book?

Let’s introduce him.

Congratulations Rory Smith!

Now a Happier Family

Hi and Thanks,

I am an optometrist. I came to the website originally after hearing about Dr. Major’s specialty…

This photo is about 8 months ago… I think the love in their eyes says it all.

I am excited about this going online because I live in Alabama and can not make the classes, but would really love to. Now I can.

Great Job Rory! He’ll get a copy of the Audio Book as soon as it is recorded and pressed.

And now, to introduce the Voice of Breakthrough Parenting.

But before I do, this one has an interesting twist. We first posted requests on Craig’s List and Elance. And through some friends caught a demo that we really liked.

More Great Parenting - Watch this video

May 29th, 2008

We’ve been sharing an opportunity to win a copy of Breakthrough Parenting, the Audio Book, and it’s almost time to announce the winner. Promise.

Also, we’re less than a week away from launching Breakthrough Parenting Online. Its so exciting! I literally am buzzing with excitement.

A few days ago you got to meet a new member of our team and many of you had some wonderful responses to that post. I mentioned that another person would be joining soon, and just in time.

We’re very proud to introduce Julia Maki who is located in Embarrass Minnesota, is an outstanding mother, and has proven an amazing addition in a few short days.

Her focus is responding to e-mails, blog posts, comments, and contest winners *HINT HINT* — there is a contest winner coming soon for the Audio Book Contest. But without delay, please help me welcome Julia Maki!

As a mother of three young children, I can’t explain how excited I am to be part of Breakthrough Parenting Online. It is giving me the chance to use my job-related skills to pursue a goal that I have a very strong personal interest in. And, I get the opportunity to work from home.

My relationship with Breakthrough Parenting Online began through Elance, an on-line company that lists professional freelancers who out-source their services. After I was selected to start the interview process, I didn’t anticipate on how the company would reach out to me on both a personal and professional manner.

[In the video Julia mentions Breakthrough Online Media which is the parent company to Breakthrough Parenting Online… Don’t let it confuse you, please.]

Parenting Help - Logic vs. Drama

May 21st, 2008

Parenting HelpI get questions like this all the time and I’m wondering if you can relate to this.

A reader recently wrote me saying,

“I’m a single mom raising my 10-year-old daughter Becky. The older she gets the more uneasy I feel about how this is turning out. I am our sole support. I feel guilty for having a child with a guy that was really wrong for me – and would have been a terrible parent. I feel guilty for spending so much time away from her. I give in to her a lot and then I feel even more guilty. She is demanding, expects to have her own way and picks fights with other kids. Actually, I think Becky is becoming quite a brat. I’m at wit’s end.

Sandra

Feeling guilty for choices you made is sabotaging your success today. I can appreciate how frustrating it is to have things not turn out how you planned – but that is life! John Lennon wrote, “Life is what happens while you are making other plans.” The big question is, what are you going to do about it now?

Parenting Challenges (+ FAQ)

May 8th, 2008

Parenting ChalengesI really want to congratulate and encourage all of you who have left comments on the site. You’ve taken to the nature of this site very quickly.

The idea here is to initiate a community and allow for conversation. I’ve been amazed at the quality of conversation that has begun.

One of our readers, Jane Meade, in Marina Del Rey, had a great response that I’ve pared down just a little to share with you:

BRAVO!!!!!!

I’m so glad to know that this is what you’ve been up to! May I forward this? Is there a “Send to a Friend” button on the site somewhere? Congratulations! I’m very happy to support this endeavor through referrals and that old stand-by…”Word of Mouth”.

Will E-Books, etc. be part of Dr. Jayne’s future? Again…so glad to hear what you’ve been doing and congratulations and best wishes for the June Launch!

Bright Blessings!
Jane

Ways to Reward a Child

April 29th, 2008

Parents who understand the use and misuse of rewards in raising their children will excel in the most important job that they will ever have—raising children to be responsible, intelligent, moral and confident adults.

Children absolutely need to be rewarded for good behavior.

However, bribing children isn’t a great way to reward them. In fact, if children are continuously bribed to be good, they can end up being punished by their parent’s rewards. For example, “If you are a good boy when you are with your grandma, I’ll give you an ipod.” Well, maybe not an ipod, but anything else that a child might be given to entice him or her to cooperate.
