Active Parenting of Children

  

    If you were faced with the
responsibility for designing and building a home, would you consult a
builder?  Before piloting a plane, would
you want to take flying lessons?  Would
you seek medical training before attempting heart surgery?

          
       If the
answers seem obvious to you, consider this: 
Should your skills as a parent be learned only through “trial and
error”?

           
       All the
love we have for our children does not automatically make us effective
parents.  Parenting, like any other
skill, is something we learn, and learning “on the job” can be
frustrating.  As parents we become
confused when, after constant repetition of the same theme, children still do
not respond.  “Active Parenting” is
perhaps the most effective program ever offered in the “how to” of raising
children.
