This is a terrific program which is presented in a clear, straightforward and solidly practical fashion. It helps in that elusive and often confusing relationship called parenting. The help line is a terrific resource if needed for harder-to-handle situations. Anyone can benefit from this program who handles kids, I purchased one for my school. Thanks for all your insightful pearls!

It has really helped. I saw a change in my son's behavior almost immediately. There is still a long way to go to solve all the issues, but at least i feel equipped to handle things.

This program has already taught me so much about my expectations as a parent of my children. Now I have much more effective tools to use and our household is already the better for it!

My husband and I didn't expect much from this program but we aalso didn't want to send our daughter to an unknown boarding school especially since there were none in our area to check out before sending her. We got this program as a last resort. It didn't see like it would work (I guess we had tried so many things without success) when we listened to the CDs. But we learned a lot and although our daughter still makes some poor decisions, her behavior is much improved and our home has again become mostly a pleasant place to be.

I think the information is extremely helpful. I am a school counselor and I intend to share it with parents and teachers. People need practical techniques and straight talk and this program offers just that. Therefore, it offers hope, an essential component of the change process. I wish I had had this information when my children were growing up.

When I first heard ads for the Total Transformation, I wasn't crazy about the name and thought it was promising too much. But after it was recommended by Ellen Braun of Raising Small Souls, I decided to try it, and I've been really impressed. The approach is realistic, the topics are relevant, and I like James Lehman's style of talking to parents. Top notch - and I really enjoy the Empowering Parents newsletters. thanks!

The information seems so natural and true. It has to work.

Worked day one! We couldn't be happier! Thank you!

Three years ago, my husband and I were in the middle of a divorce, so it was already tough on the kids. Then, he passed away; causes related to drinking. I, in the meantime have made my own mistakes through the trauma. We went to grief counseling together, which then became all the felings about the "evil mother". I gladly say, I took on all the guilt and let the girls get away with whatever. Fast forward two years. I've got my wits about me, and had enough but didn't know what to do. I saw the program on tv one night and though "what the heck". It's a miracle. I'm only on Section 4, and I can't believe the difference in me and my girls reacting to me. It's been me, a yeller, and being inconsistent and allowing the verbal abuse. Now, not always, because I resort back to bad habits, I change - they change. We are a WIP, but what a miraculous differece. And way chaper than $160.00/hour! Thanks

I thought I knew how to handle certain situations but they didn't always have the result I wanted. These cds helped focus on the real issue. The simplest changes (like not asking my son "why?") have produced the biggest results...positive results. I am also able to see myself differently and have adjusted my behaviour to help my sons with their problem-solving.

I love the direct and sensible teaching method that the Total Transformation uses. No beating around the bush...just direct communication and techniques that really work. My husband has been using all of the techniques as I go through the program with him and it has made such a difference. Mahalo!

I like the material very much. I like the pace. I would love to have others in the area who may want to create some type of support group or accountability group. Found that I started strong and then tapered off with the later CDs.

I was scared of my 16 year old son. The rudeness, disrespect, and abuse was intolerable. The program not only taught me tools to help me help my son, but also assured me that hope is not lost.

We have our good days, and then we have our days where we take a step or two back. The good days are beginning to pair-up with the not so good days. I'm certain there will be more good than bad in no time.

This program is a God send. Our kids have gradually become unbelievably out of control...and they are only 4 and 9 years of age. At first my husband and I were not in agreement about use Total Transformation, but now my husband is on board. I have done the first two lessons, and he is on the first lesson. So, we have a way to go. But the advice so far is so good. We even shared some info with our marriage counselor and he thought it sounded great and asked to see the program for himself! Thank you so much!

I've been working with youth and families for more than 35 years. I find "Total Transformation" a most thporough application of the complex principles of human behavior and family life dynamics. But as thorough as it might be, it is perfectly usable for any parent. I find it simply brilliant.

I have already recommended "Total Transformation" to several families and plan to include a strong recommendation for its purchase in our church's teaching series on family life, planned in August and September.

Every parent needs to own and listen to this course - not just those with "troubled kids." It's a must for reaching the highest of goals for every child.

As a pastor I am concerned with Biblical values being the faoundation for all teaching. I found all the principles and practices of "Total Transformation," including the necessary frank language, more than permissible in Biblical terms, but rather required. Not once have I been disappointed in the courses conclusions and applications.

Thank you for getting this thorough, quality, honest, practical, and affordable material to the public as you have. It is going to be appreciate for generations to come.

My seven year old daughter had a big attitude with lots of yelling and screaming. The Total Transformation system gives the power back to the parents to deal the attitudes and physical/verbal abuse. My daughter has learned to change her attitude with the help of this system. Thank you! Thank you!

This program is to the point and very practical. We've noticed other programs have an attitude of "Getting one up on the kids." This program doesn't do that. I appreciate the lack of condescension, sarcasm and swearing.

As professionals, who raise 8-10 children in a cottage home setting, programs like this are an essential to our success, when dealing with children who are either unable to live at home or have no home to live at. The children we serve are mostly ODD, ADD, ADHD or RAD. This program has made a huge difference in their life and ours. Thank You, from the bottom of our Hearts.

The program was very informative. It hit every nerve with me. All the skits except one has definitely hit home. I am still trying to apply the techniques and it seems to be working. It is a slow pace but at least I have learned to stick to consequences rather than grounding. Thank you for your support.

When feeling so out of control with a rebellious teenager, it was wonderful to talk to the calm customer service staff to walk me through my concerns. As it has stated, this is like have a user manual for teenagers.

The program has been so good for our family. It has been a big part of restoring my relationship to my son, and putting us on a new direction. I like that I can listen to the lessons over and over in the car.

Our 10 year old was ruling our lives. We had stopped going out and having friends over. We were walking on egg shells. A psychologist suggested we put him on an antidepressant for ADHD. We chose the Total Transformation Program as a last resort. Initially, his behavior worsened. But soon, he was able to see the rewards in what we were doing. The best part is that laughter and love engulf our home now. He comes home from school and does his homework without complaint, turns off the video games when we tell him, helps around the house, and doesn't call names or use bad words any longer. We still have a little way to go, but each day we are so grateful to have have our family back. This was money well spent. Wish we could have back all the money we gave to the psychologist!

I've been raising a child adopted from Romania at the age of 2 1/2 who is now 13....we've seen countless professionals, and he's been diagnosed with everything from ADHD, RAD, Bipolar, PDD-NOS, and countless others. It dawned on me this spring that the missing key was that he was getting the counseling, and I as the parent was left in the dark floundering for methods that work. Total Transformation has been the key to understanding our son, what makes him tick, and how to address his problems so that HE solves them, not me. Still struggling a bit with consequences, but I see you have a new CD out that I intend to order. Tough to motivate a kid who isn't motivated by standard consequences, natural or otherwise. Thanks so much for developing the Total Transformation Program! Seeing him enter the teenage years is a little less daunting for me now!

I just finished listening to Disc 6 and am working on completing the workbook. I try to use the tools I've learned on the discs when a situation arises but the most important thing I have learned is to have my son be responsible for himself and his actions and to realize no court, no police officers, no where in life will it matter that he has disorders; he has to learn to deal as best as possible with them and learn how to cope and make it in life. The same rules apply to myself and everyother family member as well. There's no excuse for abuse!

Hi

I listened to your program and thought it was great but I have an 8 year old and thought it was geared for older children. I contacted customer service to return and they told me to use the parental support line and keep it another month. They gave me more time to review it again and I called the support line. They were great. I am keeping the program and keeping the parental support line for awhile until I can feel comfortable with some responses.

Thanks again for the extra time.
