Has anyone ever tried the "Total Transformation" program for changing rebellious children's behavior?

Question

What did you think of it? Is it merely a matter of learning a few words to make this change? Surely it can't be that simple. What is involved? What are the pros and cons of the program in your mind.

I actually don't have children, but we have a friend who's family seems to be heading for trouble. I was curious whether this was worth her looking into.

Thanks.

Hi Kathy,

Basically The Total Transformation is a behavior modification program.  There's no miracle cure, it takes a lot of work on the parents part.  But I will tell you that the program will definately give you the tools you need to make changes.  

I am doing a review of the program at my website http://www.kid-tested-parent-approved.co... if you want to come by and take a look, it will at least give you a better idea of what the program is actually about.  Good luck with your research and my heart goes out to your friends family, I know how hard it is to have a difficult child.

The Total Transformation program is more complicated than learning a few words or phrases.

There are two aspects to understand.  The first is the overall philosophy or concept behind it while the second is the practical advice of how to implement the philosophy which can be boiled down to something totally lacking in most kids today - taking responsibility for their own behavior and understanding the consequences of their behavior.

If you see articles advertising this program (or any parenting program) touting using specific words to get specific reaction or changes from kids, that's really just the tip of the iceberg.

Yes, you should definitely tell your friend to check it out.  If it's right for her and her family, she will literally be thanking you for a lifetime.  I hope it works out for her.

There is a gigantic review at the blog I mentioned in the source box.
