“Award-Winning Finalist in the Parenting/Family category of the National Best Books 2008 Awards" http://www.usabooknews.com/parentingfamily.html
USA Books chose "How to Get Your Child to Say, Yes! I Can! & I Will! as a top finalist for parenting books this year. I'm honored and my hope is that as parents, educators, and childcare providers read the book they find the techniques to bring immediate results with their children and the youth they work with. As I travel around the country and work with families I see our kids starving for structure and direction. They want to do the right thing. They have such great potential. Parents are stressed and running at warp speed trying to get everything done in a days time. Asking themselves...
Will I make it through this economy?
How secure is my job?
Will I provide the same lifestyle for my kids as I thought I would even 2 years ago?
No matter what may be occurring around you outside of your home you can still provide a good nurturing structure for your children that builds good character that will last them a lifetime. By doing so your children will be able to stand through the storms of life and achieve their dreams.
The feedback that I've received from my readers has been...
1. my book was a fast read
2. simple to implement steps immediately
3. saw positive results in their children in 10 days or less when consistently implementing the techniques taught in the book.
Buy the book above and experience more quality time with your children and being a part of their development to become responsible, respectful individuals.

Congratulations, Lesa.

Amy, thanks for stopping by and seeking more information. Quality time is such an important thing to value in our lives. I learned a long time ago that we can always do more of many things in life, like more projects, more houses, more cars, etc, but we can never have any more time than the 24 hours in a day that's been given to us. I treat my time as a precious gift. The book will definitely allow you to spend quality time with your son. As you create the nurturing structure in your home to reinforce good habits for your son it will free up time for you and him to spend the time together that you so desire to have. Things will become more efficient in your home and free up time to do the "fun things" together. Feel free to contact me if I can be of further assistance.
