To date, we have not completed the program. I am taking my time and reviewing the material as needed. We actually are in week 4.
However, I have seen a big change in my child at home. At school, his behavior still seems to be inconsistent. I feel like I take 2 steps forward and 1 step back. Maybe this is why we haven't moved forward as fast as we should.
I would say this about the program. I think, so far, it is wonderful. As a parent I have learned that many of the techniques I was using weren't as effective and those suggested. I also learned that that didn't make me a bad parent too. I just needed a new way of addressing my child's behavior. All I was equipped with was my parents approach (on me).
I am still encouraged about the program and would love to take this review again as it comes to a close.
Thanks again ~ a thankful parent

We have two sons ages nine and five. The older child is ADHD/ODD and the younger son is diagnosed with PDD. I have had great results thus far with Owen, the older son.I feel very fortunate to have come in contact with the Total Transformation Program. We are surely still in the beginning stages but I feel we have a good jump on things as the boys are still pre teen and easier to work with as apposed to teenage children. Perhaps I can give you another update down the road.

Sincerely,
John Snyder/York PA.

As soon as I listened to and read each lesson, I immediately put the lesson into action. It has really helped me feel more in control like I used to feel when my twins (now 13) were babies. It is a straight forward and easy to understand program. I used this program in my home because(it's embarassing to admit, but..)my the kids in my classroom listened better than my own kids at home! Things have certainly turned around in our home. Yes, I have slipped a few times into my "old" non effective parenting style, but I notice right away, and use the what I have learned from James to take back control of the situation.

We have listened to and applied many of the techniques described to us in the program and have seen amazing results. Our two children responded right away to the techniques and it has changed the whole tone of our home. I feel more able to deal with behaviors than I did before. Thank you very much for putting these techniques in an easy to learn format.

The Total Transformation Program is a great program. It does work. Although I was only able to use it in a limited way. Our son straightened out be for I could finish the series of CDs.

I love the information I have received and now I just have to work the plan and make it happen.

You taught us how to parent. From the movie Parenthood, "You know, you have to have a lisence to drive, a lisence to vote, heck, you even need a lisence to fish but they'll let any reaming ------- be a parent!" Total Transformation gave the skills we needed that if one needed a lisence to parent we would pass. Thank you. Our children are responding wonderfully and our home is experienceing more frequent times of peace.

My husband and I have enjoyed reviewing the videos/cds to gain insight on our child's behavior methods. It has given us helpful tips on how to manage his needs.

The program is outstanding. The hardest part is to be consistent with the implementation.

We still need to get better with following through on the consequences but we have seen an improvement in our son and that is what we were looking for.

The tools are great and it certainly helps to have a full toolbox when working.

I purchased this program for my neice's boyfriend. She died in June at 50, her son is 17, a angry kid, Chris is using the cd's & taking charge & thinks are getting better this week. It is day by day with him so I don't want to get my hopes up too high!

The tapes worked great- it's my child that needs work. Most of the advise worked but my child is very stubborn-it will take some time to addjust to the new rules. I needed this program about 6 years ago. Thank you

Though I purchased your program for the upcoming new pre-teens in our family, a week after I received and began listening to your program, I had an incident with a grown child (age 37) who has been recalcitrant most of her life. For the first time, I felt like I had some guidance as to how to respond to her fits of rage. I calmly told her, "There is no excuse for abuse!" and walked away. It felt good to know what to say without screaming back. She continued. I called the parental support line, but since I hadn't paid the fee for this service yet, and my child was not a teenager, they could only refer me to a suicide hot line. I stayed calm and called. While trying to answer their questions, a policeman came in my front door. My daughter called the police. I had to hang up. After asking some questions, he saw how calm I was and how agitated she was. Fortunately, he told her she was grown and needed to get out of my home. Neither one of us expected that and she didn't like it. In the end. I gave her a choice to stay or leave, but she had to change if she stayed. She finally did. We talked a lot the rest of the day actually trying to listen to one another. Your program set me on the right path to communicate with her without feeling like a martyr for having raised her as a single parent. I am really encouraged now about helping the pre-teens in our family Thanks Total Transformation.

Behave your way to feeling better is best practical advice for all of us, backed up by specific steps that work
for parents and kids makes this a great resource.

I would prefer less on abusive kids and more on normal teenage problems of
accountability for school and other responsibilities and advice on prevention of risk taking behaviors especially drugs, alcohol, driving and sex.

Service is great except that when I called on issues not covered,for my daughter age 15 w ADD, I was advised to keep total transformations and buy total focus. Total focus is even less applicable to a teenage girl.

I did gain some insight and use some tips. You should produce a total transformations for ADD teens, include
a part specific to girls and social issues with same speaker and tough love approach as total transformations.

We gained custody of our 10 year old grandson in September. We immediately put your recommendations in to action and saw grand results in just a matter of days. Wish I had had this program when I was raising his mom and uncles.

Thank you a million times over for your dedication to once again making the family a place of refuge rather than discord.

My husband and I are still working through the program, but we are taking each disc and assignment very seriously...giving each lesson our full attention and time to implement in our home. We have a blended family, which adds to the challenges of raising 3 children. My husband is a Neurosurgeon and I am a Surgical nurse, so we both have a handle on the medical system, but lacked the skills necessary to manage 1 very difficult teen, and 2 just hitting the flood of hormones. We both think this program is absolutely brilliant! Every family should be required to complete this course upon finding out that they are pregnant! What a difference this would have made in my life and my childrens' if I could have been implementing these teqniques since they were small...being more consistent and less emotional with discipline. The only reason we gave the Parental Support Line and Customer Service a score of 3 stars, was because we have not even used those services yet. The product packaging was wonderful, but, we frequently put the discs in our computer, and it would be nicer if they were video as well as audio. It is a little distracting to look at the swirling colors on the computer for an hour while the disc plays. Thank you for giving us the support we needed to feel confident with our parenting, recognize our weaknesses, and give us a plan for improving!

I am very pleased with the Total Transformation program. It's as if James Lehman knows my son personally. I have only gone through half of the program, and I wish I had more time to dedicate to it, but it is definitely something that I will return to over and over again (as needed!). Thanks for your help!

This information helped me understand my childs behavior better and gave me tools to deal with the behavior. It was so reassuring to know that I am not the only one with a child who has difficult behavior. It was invaluable to have the tools to deal with the difficult behavior. It is easy to understand Mr. Lehman and I could tell he really knows what he is talking about from experience. Thanks.

THANK YOU

The program seems to cover most problems i've been having. I started implementing some of the techniques and it seems to be working. I'm having trouble getting my wife to get through the whole program. She has a hard time diciplining the kids but is too busy to do the program. Do you have a program to transform the wife?

The program is working well. Most importantly my husband and I are getting on the same page and able to help each other when we drift from the program.
It would be most helpful if the cd's are in individual sleves as we take these with us to listen on the way to work, etc.

This product was amazing. I was completely suprised by how fast my son's attitude turned around. I definitely recommend this program to anyone who has a child that is acting out.

My wife and I were spending far too much time and stress every day trying to get my son to do his homework and behave appropriately. Total Transformation helped us break the cycle we were stuck in and gave us the problem solving perspective to correcting our child’s behavior. The tools and techniques work and we now have a less stressful and happier home. Nobody chooses to have a difficult child or children. When it happens we need to learn how to deal with it. We are also often unfairly judged by other family members. As parent with these challenges we need to work harder then parents who don’t have difficult kids. We also need the tools, techniques and the right perspective. This is what Total Transformation provides.
Sincerely,
Jim Wall

I am only on CD #3. I have listened to the first 2 CDs repeatedly, and have listened to CD #3 three times. There is so much great information that I want to remember it all! I have used some of the techniques and have seen a positive difference in my 14 year old son's behavior and the way I resond to him. I think this program could make a HUGE difference in our family life.

I'm so thankful for your program. It is helping me become a better parent and ,therefore, have a better relationship with my kids. Consequences are easy to deliver with great results.

We are not completely thru all of the disc yet, but, it has made a phenomenal difference in the way our household is functioning. We are having FUN again and the arguing, yelling, etc. has pretty much stopped completely.
