Transforming Child Behavior
Transforming your Childs Behavior? Do you have an Angry Kid?
-
Did you give birth to the teenager from Hell?
-
Tired of the mouth that drips nastiness, meanness, disrespect?
-
Sick of the anger, chaos, tension that comes with living with such a kid?
-
Weary of trying to be the peacemaker only to have your nose rubbed in your kindness and patience by a kid who sometimes seems to be nothing more than a spoiled brat?
There is an antidote. It is available to everyone. It costs $21.95. No kidding.
$21.95 is all you need to turn your out-of-control kid around.
THE DETAILS
The $21.95 antidote takes some effort. Sometimes it takes more effort than some parents want to invest because they resent their kid so thoroughly. The out of control teenager can easily generate a parent’s serious resentment. I can’t help those folks who can’t put their resentments aside.
I can help parents who haven’t been completely overcome by rage or who don’t have an insatiable need to strangle the living crap out of their kid.
If you can look at your mean-spirited, out-of-control child sometime during the day (or, maybe only when the kid is asleep) and have a loving thought or two, then we can talk.
It means you still want to be his or her parent.
There are parts of the day when you definitely don’t want to be his parent and that is entirely understandable. But there must be a time when you look at this child and wish that the days of his/her innocence hadn’t ended. The antidote I’m about to describe is only for those parents who sometimes resent their kid and other times are worried about their kids future. It is for those parents whose kid has rejected therapy.
What is the distinction?
The program I am about to introduce to you takes effort.
- You are unlikely to expend effort on a child you despise.
- You won’t think the effort is worth it.
- If you don’t think the effort is worth it, then you won’t complete the training, you’ll say this program is nonsense and your kid will remain the same.
We both lose but you and your child will lose the most
It’s that simple.
QUESTION: What do I get for $21.95?
Ultimately, a very different child. A child you’d actually like to be around. But, initially what you get is a package including a book. The book is the path to the child. The whole package reinforces the book. The book is called, “Got An Angry Kid? Parenting Spike- A Seriously Difficult Child.”
The package includes:
- The Book, ‘Got an Angry Kid?”
- One year subscription to Spike’s Weekly Newsletter. The newsletter expands upon the many themes introduced in the book
- You get $75 off the purchase price of PACT Training On-Line also known as Spike’s On-Line Training. You may or may not wish to select this option but if you do, $75 will grease the wheel for you. The On-Line version is the same program found in the Book, “Got an Angry Kid?”offered in the book but presented with many videos and automatic scoring. It makes the job of learning easier. It supplies some of the motivation.
- You get to participate in an introductory webinar. All new clients are invited to tune into a webinar which presents the training in detail and takes many questions. The webinar lasts about an hour but concludes when the last question has been answered. I want you to get started well.
Information about the complete package will be included with your book.
WHAT’S SPECIAL ABOUT THE BOOK?
It is a recipe for family happiness. The principal is the same as baking a cake. First you add one part, then another part, then a third part…etc. There are 28 parts. Ultimately you have a child you are happy to call your child. Tranforming Child Behavior
To get to the cake, the book comes in two parts:
The first part is the story of Spike who is an emotionally disturbed, angry, out of control and or seriously difficult child.
(You pick the label that works best for you although as you will learn,they are all synonyms for one another). Spike is as bad or worse as your kid. Spike is an amalgam of every family’s unhappy child whose parents I have ever worked with over the past 20 years. The book is a published version of a manual I developed many years ago. It is something I used with every client referred to me by the State of Connecticut over that period. The state referred about 400 families. So, the program, which is the second part of the book, has been field tested for a long time over many, many families.
The second part is the 28 step training program for the parents of kids that I have been describing here. This is the recipe part. It is Spike’s on-line training program called P.A.C.T. (Parenting Angry Children and Teens). It teaches parents how to regain control over a seemingly out of control child. It shows parents how to parent the essentially unparentable child. Most parents who are at this stage, seriously doubt that they could ever regain any semblance of parenting. They are so used to being disrespected that they are certain their kid despises them and will never respond to them. Not true. It just looks that way.
If you aren’t willing to hug the cactus of your own self-doubt as a parent, you are unlikely to learn how much potential control you have waiting for you.
QUESTION: Why is my kid such a jerk?
I don’t know.
It also know it doesn’t matter to make this program work. Ultimately ‘why’ is speculative and can’t be proven anyway. Save it for therapy. This is training. They aren’t the same though they are compatible. Therapy, by the way, is highly recommended for your Spike. We know, however, that he has rejected it. May someday he’ll pick it up again.
Until then…
The only thing that matters is “Are YOU willing to learn this program?” Everything else such as age, gender, psychiatric label…are all irrelevant. If, for instance you are positive that your child has a psychiatric disease, then it is unlikely you can make this program work for you. If, on the other hand, you begin to understand that you enable the behavior you say you don’t like, then you can do fine. None of us likes to believe that we are enablers of our own kids outrageous behavior but trust me on this one, if you have one of these kids, you enable. That doesn’t mean you caused it, but it does mean that you keep it going by being a normal and natural parent. Normal and natural does not work with an abnormally developing child, however.
You need a new strategy.
It’s Spike’s On-Line Training (aka PACT)
And by the way, I’d never ask you to do anything that I didn’t do myself.
I was in the same situation with a child as you are. I developed this program as a result. I have lots of experience with this program, some of it very personal.
WHAT DO I DO WHEN I BUY THE BOOK?
Read it. Then read it again if necessary. After you have convinced yourself you understand, starting learning the goals in Part 2. Give yourself the 8 week test. Somewhere in in the 6 week to 12 week time frame…let’s settle on 8 weeks…you will notice sufficient change in your child that you will be convinced that PACT is right for you.
If you don’t notice change, start over again. You weren’t working hard enough.
There are 28 goals. Normally, parents learn about the first three in the first 8 weeks. If you find that you have covered substantially more goals, you are going too fast and will probably fail. Slow down. This isn’t a race.
Initially learning goals takes longer than it does when you are mid way into the program. That’s became you have created a foundation and are building on it. The building gets easier and easier. There will be ups and downs but if you are diligent there will be more ups than downs. Don’t get slick and think you know more than the program does about changing difficult children. Take it slowly. Learn each and every goal to mastery. Hold yourself to a high standard. Your child will test you occasionally. You need to pass each of his tests. A big test often comes mid way through the program. So be prepared.
In time the training you are giving yourself will seem spontaneous and effortless. You will, in short, do what you need to do to get what you need automatically. Its a great feeling.
Final Word:
Anxiety in the name of an out of control child is expected.
Suffering in the name of an out of control child is strictly optional.
Fortunately, you have a choice.
So $21.95 gets you:
- the Book
- 12 months of the weekly newsletter
- access to the webinar and
- $75 off the purchase price of Spike’s On-Line Training ( PACT.)
(this offer may not be combined with any other offer)
