Everybody wants to know what is going on with kids these days. Why are so many becoming oppositional and disrespectful to parents and teachers? Do kids have the right to say NO? What rights do they have? What power do they have other than to say NO? Has something changed that makes them feel as if they have no power, or all the power now? What about the impact of technology and the spread of ideas about human rights and abuse of those rights, the way governments and dictators can systematically abuse a population of people?

Children used to perform more valuable and meaningful duties around the house and farm, how does their activity contribute now, in what way can they perform socially relevant work? How do they conclude that they should not be bothered with chores, that parents are there to serve them and entertain them? How has our culture changed?

Yet if they can’t say NO then who are they? How does this balance with adult responsibilities to look out for their best interests, which may not be what they want at the moment?

Here is what you should be getting:

Today: Empowering or Controlling?

Day 2: How much power do you give them, and how do you handle arguing/disagreements?

Day 3: How do you shut down and ignore to protect yourself from your children?

Day 4: What would you like your children to remember about you?

Day 5: Do you use your power to oppress or liberate?

Day 6: Resources to deepen and broaden parenting skills and knowledge

Day 7: Power-up phrases to use with kids

Day 8: More reading for you, articles and topics of special interest to help children

The course is created by Brad Mason, LPC, LSSP, owner of the Family Counseling Center in Georgetown, Texas, author of the intensivecareforyou video course series, several books, and workshop presenter. I’m offering you a free mini-course, Power in Adult-child Relationships, containing some of the content from my next book, My Power Book.

I would certainly appreciate any comments or criticism I can use to make my book a better tool and a better read for my audience. Soon I will also offer additional free courses; Balancing Power in Adult Relationships, Personal Power, and The Power of Story Exercise. More about that later. You can also find mini courses, Behavior Management Tips and Tools Giveaway, and the Mindgarden course, which is for use in teaching children the power of thought, how to avoid negative thoughts and make positive ones, and how not to give away your power to some teasing bully or not getting your way to decide whether you feel okay or not. Find these and tons of pdf forms and templates for helping kids who struggle here.

Most of the materials are appropriate to use with children on the autism spectrum and/or with ADHD since these are what I specialize in with my private practice.
