Kids! We laugh with them, are often amazed or exasperated by them, do our best to raise them, and most of all love them. It can be tough to be a parent these days, no matter whether you’re a single parent, part of a pair, fostering a child or in any other situation where you’re responsible for preparing the next generation. How can you get these youngsters – who, as every adult who’s ever been around a child knows, have very definite minds of their own – to listen to you, to learn from you, and to sometimes just plain do what they’re told?

Never fear, help is on the way! We are delighted to offer a new child discipline program created this year especially for Learning Seed by the nationally recognized early childhood education expert Dr. Thomas Knestrict.

Dr. Knestrict, a professor at Xavier University, has specialized for years in the behavior of young and special-needs children. He has conducted numerous workshops and seminars across the country for parents and educators. Here, he’s combined his extensive professional knowledge with his hard-earned real-life experience as a father of three, and created a practical program to teach parents how they can structure their homes and lives to keep themselves and their children happy, healthy, and sane!

Learn all about:

• What a family should base their rules on, and why.
• The two most important things parents can provide for their children’s emotional and mental well-being – and we’re not talking about food and shelter!
• How you can get your kids up, dressed and out of the house in the morning without being late – and how you can get them to go to back to bed in the evening without going crazy.

A series of realistic live-action scenarios, enhanced by expert commentary, show how parents can consciously structure their family life. Along the way, we illustrate how developing a set of well-thought-out rules, rituals and routines will make parents’ lives easier and their children happier and well-behaved. A great addition to any childhood education program!
