What People are saying:

Choosing Positive Over Negative

“So many parenting resources focus on negative reward systems, and interventions at the moment of need for correction. In this video, Brad shows how positive reinforcement when the child is doing the behaviors you LIKE to see, is so much more helpful than correcting bad behaviors (and less stressful on a harried mommy!) Great positive teaching video, and it really works! (I even use it on my husband.)”

J Kennedy on December 11, 2015

Behavior and respect start at home

“I was looking for something to help with my toddler. I learned a lot of techniques that I have already begun trying. It can be frustrating when you feel that you can’t “get through” to your child. I look forward to trying these time proven techniques as he gets older.”
