1.  Adventures in Parenting

     TIRED OF EVERYONE GIVING YOU PARENTING ADVICE? NOT SURE WHAT PARENTING RESOURCES
      ARE THE BEST? CONFUSED ABOUT WHAT REALLY WORKS? BORED WITH YOUR CURRENT
       PARENTING METHOD? Respond, Prevent, Monitor, Mentor, and Model = RPM3—a no-frills approach
       to parenting from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD). For over 30 years,
       the NICHD has conducted and supported research in parenting and child development talking to experts,
       parents, and children. NICHD has collected statistics, identified myths, and tested suggestions. The RPM3
       guidelines aren’t meant to be just another parenting “how to,” telling you what to do. Instead, RPM3 separates
       the useful information from the not-so-useful so that you can make your own decisions about parenting. RPM3
       does more than tell stories about what people think about parenting, it incorporates 30 years of NICHD
       research to tell you what really works. RPM3 confirms something that you already know: parents do matter.
      You matter.

     Answers to your questions about what works, what doesn't work, and getting a glimpse of the big picture of 
      parenting. 
3.  Coffee, Cookies and Choices

         Children of all ages need security of boundaries and limitations on behavior.  The most loving thing parents
       and care-givers can do is to help children learn to control their own behavior, to exercise self-discipline, and to
       say "no" to themselves.  The Choices, Cookies and Kids Theory is the basis for self-discipline, teaches
      decision making which in turn develops self-responsibility and promotes self-control.  Parents who have
       attended this class say that it has helped changed their parent-child relationship for the better.
