Before I created the Leader Parents program - I was constantly being asked by frustrated parents how they could get their kids to behave and listen without having to yell or endlessly repeat themselves.

The biggest challenge they were facing was their kids just wouldn't listen. It didn't matter what it was - taking out the trash, doing homework, coming to dinner on time, putting video games away, getting ready in the mornings - everything felt like a battle and it was exhausting. Parents told me how they felt they tried everything from rewards to time-outs... they read the parenting books and the blogs... but nothing seemed to work.

And they told me how they were constantly yelling at their kids because it was the only thing that got them to listen, but they felt horrible about it. But after repeating themselves over and over again, they felt they had no other choice than to yell. They felt trapped.

Fortunately, by this point I had already worked with thousands of kids as a teacher and had developed methods for getting any kid to listen to me. So, I began sharing my methods with parents so they could get their kids to listen and behave. And what we saw next was amazing…

Parents were shocked to suddenly see their children listening to them without a fuss.

Instead of the typical back-talk, whining, or no-response, their kids were actually cooperating, and the parents didn't feel they had to yell anymore. They felt so relieved. And as their children began to behave more, the tension at home began to fade away, and they felt closer than ever with them. And in many cases, their kids began doing better in school and with their friends.

So I put these simple methods into a book called Leader Parents. And that's what I'd like to share with you today. So you can enjoy a relaxed home filled with laughter, smiles, and connection. My goal is to give you the tools to feel more in control at home and more confident in your parenting decisions.
