"I've been a Marriage & Family Therapist for over 28 years, and in that time I have watched parenting become a rapidly increasing challenge for parents. Especially with the explosion of the Internet and electronic devices, children are bombarded all day with messages that their parents are not aware of. But parents still have to raise children to be happy and responsible in a world that is powerfully distracting them from that path.

So what can parents do? The best program I've ever come across for parents trying their best to navigate the intricacies of these complicated times is the "Ridiculously Effective Parenting Training" by Greg Baer, M.D. You’ll begin with 45 hours of video training, followed by the most extensive follow-up I’ve ever seen. Your children are worth it. They need you to be on top of loving them and teaching them the essentials of a happy life. This is information that every parent needs—right now."

    FREE LESSON, CHAPTER ZERO: 1 hour, 25 minutes

    How to STOP all Whining and HEAL All Wounds

    • Do you want to be a real parent or control a behavior?
    • Parenting is lovingandteaching, which I will be modeling for you. I will stay with you while you learn how to be an effective parent. You won't be doing this alone.
    • How to implement “no whining” and how that relates to all behaviors.
    • The key to parenting is YOU being loving, and YOU being consistent. Real Love defined.
    • All unproductive behaviors come from the “I don’t love you” wound.
    • Whining is related to all the other behaviors.
    • Children continue behaviors only if they are rewarded for them.
    • How you can feel loved, be loving, responsible = happiness
    CHAPTER ONE: 5 hours, 35 minutes

    The Need for Real Love, and Living Without It

    • You don’t know how to love your children unconditionally because you were not taught how.
    • Learning how to parent is the most important job in the world, and quite a journey. Let's get started.
    • The most powerful and lasting experiences of life are during early childhood. That applies to you, too.
    • Example of mother, Amanda, responding to two arguing children
    • You’re missing the root source of all childhood problems.
    • You must interpret what children need from their behavior, not words—drowning metaphor.
    • The moment we’re irritated, children hear only “I don’t love you”
    • The “I don’t love you wound” causes all other problems, including Post-Childhood Stress Disorder
    • You can learn to love and help your children.
    • You can learn to make real choices instead of just reacting. 
    CHAPTER TWO: 4 hours, 30 minutes

    How To Find Real Love

    • You have to find love before giving it, and we can’t love ourselves.
    • You were TAUGHT who you are and how the world is, and often it was wrong.
    • You were loved less when you didn’t behave in ways other people didn’t like.
    • You MUST find love, and learn how to receive it and love others unconditionally: (1) Original unlovable message wrong; (2) remember times we have felt loved; (3) remember a divine love; (4) I love you; (5) find love from others.
    • Truth-seen-accepted-loved
    • Where do you find love? (1) Usually not present friends; (2) rarely family; (3) never children; (4) from others.

    How We Behave without Real Love

    • It is unavoidable that your children suffer as you parent without Real Love.
    • Your inability to parent with Real Love is NOT your fault.
    • But it is your responsibility to change what you do now with what you learn.
    • You can learn to understand the meaning of your children’s behavior, and as you see their pain, your impatience and anger transform into compassion.
    • Lack of love leads to pain, which demonstrates as emptiness and fear, and then follow all the Getting and Protecting Behaviors, which combine to explain all your children’s behaviors.
    • Children use Getting and Protecting Behaviors to find the Imitation Love that replaces Real Love. They MUST medicate their pain.
    • Whining and anger show the relationship between pain, Getting and Protecting Behaviors, and Imitation Love.
    • By finding Real Love, and changing the judgments in your life, you can eliminate the Getting and Protecting Behaviors that plague you and your children.
    CHAPTER FOUR: 4 hours, 20 minutes

    The Cause of All Unhappy Behaviors

    • All childhood problems are rooted in pain, and then they respond predictably.
    • Cutting and other self-harming benefits: expresses pain physically, decreases confusion, distracts, feel alive, illusion power, attention, self-blame, anger, cry for help
    • Relation of cutting to Getting & Protecting Behaviors, the power of understanding.
    • Lack of responsibility, withdrawal/depression 
    • Addictions to screens: phones, video games
    • No love âžť Pain âžť Decrease pain âžť Addiction
