Because we are so 'late' getting this program (our son with problems is 14) we are still having quite a bit of issues however, we are seeing some changes. I wish we would have gotten this when he was 3. We have learned alot and are using the methods daily.

Hi, My son is coming home for the summer and I haven't 'used' the program yet, but have learned SO much. How to be an effective parent is the key to strong families, strong individuals. Thanks Mr. Lehman!!

Since using the Total Transformation System, I've seen my son start taking the initiative to do his chores w/out fighting about it, also there's been fewer disciplinary issues at school. All in all, this has lead to a much happier home life

Dear Mr. Lehman,
I want to thank you so much for helping liberate our entire family. We are an extended family living together, and using what we learned from your Total Transformation Program we went from fighting and arguing and feeling out of control to being in control, feeling peaceful and accepting and accountable. We can't thank you enough...and we tell others about our transformation and your program!

I was much impressed with the curriculum and information. I was able to immediately implement it and see changes in myself as well as myself. The only complaint I have is some of the dialog with other participants was at times hokey and strained. The materials though are fantastic as the do work.

Good information. As a future educator it has changed my perspective on disciplining students with the Alternative Response, but there is still more baggage involved with our daughter than different rules can overcome. I will admit, however, walking away when she wants to fight at least keeps me calmer. She still rages on though.

This program is so good when you have know idea where else to turn. I really needed help in changing how I handle certian situations and that is what this program does. I am really working hard to follow the steps to restore peace and harmony in my house again and I know that with this prgram it is possible. Thank you.

The program was extremely helpful to me. I married a lady with a ten year old child that had serious problems with behavior and lying. It took a lot of patience and perseverance, but there has been a big change in the child's behavior and lying since I have started applying the principles of this program. As a result, behavior in school has improved drastically as well. The child constantly came home with "N's" (not a good thing). Now only occasionally. I do wish however, that lying was more specifically addressed.

I have two great kids (12 and 14) but no parenting instruction. Things started to get pretty complicated. Using the Total Transformation program recently has made a big difference in my parenting confidence. I can completely relate to so many of the stories, situations, and anecdotes that James talks about. It makes me realize that I don't have to recreate the wheel. There are hundreds of thousands of parents out there going through the same thing, using tried and true solutions. James ' program shares that information and makes it accessible to all of us. It is so nice to get affirmation on my instincts from the Parental Support line as well. It's like having a set of friends the completely share your outlook on parenting and on values with today's teens.

This program isn't working well for us, but that may be because of the circumstances in our house. I'm adult ADHD, single mom to a son with ADHD, ODD, and CD, and a daughter with ADHD, depression, and possibly OCD as well. With my being a single parent, I just don't have the ability to control the situation with both, at the same time. For a double parent household, this is more likely to work, as it is with less complicated children.

The Total Transformation has been helpful for the entire family. It has given me guidlines as a mother of where to draw the line and I don't feel responsible anymore for my adult childrens decisions. I've used it for a month. It hasn't been a Total transformation yet, but a very inpresive change.

As a mother of 4, with a large gap between siblings; I let a lot of my basic parenting knowledge be usurped to exhaustion and teenage persuasion. Your techniques have put me back on track. However,it is very hard to keep ones child on course to a positive life's experience. This I feel is due to societies pull, with all of it's immoralities it contains.
Also, with 2 teenage daughter's,close in age, I find it hard to get the truth out; if ever.
It is a never ending battle of gaining trust and finding the truth.
Helping me be in control , March 10, 2008
Review by :
DEmom
I have done the whole program and am now listening again. While it is not a "magic" or "miraculous" change, the TTP has helped me develop some strategies and feel much more in control. Before the program, I was reluctant to address my son's tantrums between incidents. Now I understand that this behavior won't just go away without specific strategies on my part. We have worked out rewards, consequences, and are doing the alternative response techniques. It's a lot of work, but it is helping when consistently applied. I appreciate the common sense and emphasis on accountability, responsibility and correcting faulty thinking. In the past I have made excuses for this child's behavior, but the TTP has helped me realize that this did not help us. Although I was reluctant to spend the $$ for this program, I am glad I did so.

I was in a bad place when I ordered the TT package and am now like a walking advertisement. I can't say enough about it. It has only been 2 months but we have had MAJOR improvements. My 15 year old rarely calls me names anymore and on the rare occasion she does she handles the punishment and is also apologetic. This has made things so much calmer in our household.

I am a family therapist who recommends your program to desperate parents who call in for appointments. It is excellent. If your program is not enough to solve their problem after they have listened to it, and tried it, then I book an appointment for them.

This was a tremendously clearly outline program. It gave direct instructions on how to address behaviors. I just wished it helped me with keeping my energy up with such a challenging child.

I have had the system for a while, but only recently started *using* it. My son was failing in school because he simply refused to do his homework. After enumerating my expectations for the week's homework check, and having him repeat it to me so I knew HE knew and accepted what was expected, he failed to meet the reuirements we had agreed upon. He lost one weekend, and had the opportunity to 'try again' on Monday. I actually overheard him on the phone (which I did NOT take away, like I usually did) telling a friend, " I know it's my responsibility to do it, and I blew it." !! I almost squealed with joy!! And, it's only the FIRST week of actually *using* the program! And there was Very Little arguing when I told him he had lost his weekend...usually this was a screaming fit. I am Very Pleased with the results I have seen so far!

What a blessing! I had no idea so many people were dealing with my same issues. The analagies were what stuck in my brain. They were very helpful! I have told 12 more people about this program! I'm just sorry I didn't get it sooner.
