Have you ever wished that children came with an instruction manual? Has what looked natural and easy from a distance become complex and difficult viewed close up? Have your kids’ challenges and unhappiness left you feeling inept, inadequate and unhappy yourself?
Whether your child is a preschooler throwing temper tantrums, a seven year old bouncing off the walls, a teenager pushing the envelope, or a grown adult with children of his own, Parenting Solution can help you put the joy back in parenting! You’ll acquire the keys to parenting with clarity and ease.
In Parenting Solution, you’ll learn:
Ease-of-use: Uncover and discard beliefs that make parenting more difficult, less effective and less fun
A Solid Foundation: Learn easy-to-remember, easy-to-apply principles that let you parent with purpose and consistency
Freedom: Discover how to love, guide and let go – free yourself from the primary causes of parental anguish and stress
Roles & Responsibilities: Learn that you can’t save your children from their unhappiness (and that’s a good thing for them) - you help your children to be architects of their lives, rather than victims who wait around for someone else to take away their distress
Gratitude: Learn and teach a wonderful internal experience that comes with finding and expressing gratitude
Sean and I just returned from The Option Institute, home of The Son-Rise Program, where we spent the week attending a program on Parenting. We learned more than I could ever write, including tools and techniques for parenting from a place of happiness and trust, rather than tension and control. There were many Son-Rise parents there, and Sean and I saw—I think he would agree with this statement—that the real challenge to our parenting has little to do with our children, and 99.9% to do with our relationships with ourselves and in our marriage. We are still processing and exploring the take-aways. I am truly thrilled to be learning how to be a happier person, partner, and parent (in that order!).

In Parenting Solution, The Option Institute's approach gave me the opportunity to embrace the experience of parenting from a very loving and accepting place and, as a working mother, to enjoy myself and my child again, guiding and preparing her for life.

The Parenting Solution class was amazing! The idea that I can move easily among my children by using simple principles and beliefs was eye opening. I also enjoyed the sense of community we shared as a class.

I had been taught that parenting is hard and that you have to take the good with the bad. I don't hold those beliefs anymore. In Parenting Solution, I learned that anytime my children are unhappy, it's a glorious opportunity to teach and guide them as I love them. When I truly let go of outcomes with my children, I become a clearer and more effective parent. I learned how to implement consequences without them being a punishment. I also learned to negotiate happily with my children. Though there are many methods to parenting, Parenting Solution tops them all.

Parenting Solution has given me so many opportunities to grow. I realize how often I would make myself unhappy in my parenting through judging myself and believing that it was all so serious. Now I have the tools to just have fun in all interactions with my children, and most of all to let go of having to be perfect.

A wonderful blue print for being an effective parent. The Parenting Solution opened my eyes to things I was doing that prevented me from being as loving as I want to be. I saw choices that I was making that were disempowering. I am not a victim; a victim of life, a victim of circumstances, a victim of other's actions. I don't have to live my life frazzled, hurt, angry, and frustrated, etc. --even part of the time.

"Above all else I learned that without a playful, respectful and loving attitude there can be no deep connection with my children. Parenting Solution gave me a deeper insight into how to achieve a better relationship with my children by getting my own act together first. It gave me deep insights and practical tools that have completely changed my approach to parenting. If you want to do something for your kids, take this program. "

"This is The Parenting Solution I have literally been hoping I would find for the past 26 years! Although my children are 26, 18 and 15 years of age, I wanted tools and new ways of thinking about the ways I relate to my children on a daily basis; tools that would work equally well in small situations as well as in a crisis...I have begun to work on myself this week, applying many of the tools to be a more effective, more respectful, more loving and happier parent. I have made small changes and big changes in me, so that I can be the living teaching I want to be for my children."

"The Kaufman's work represents a true innovation- for it provides a detailed exploration of the Psychology of Happiness. Clearly and imaginatively presented, empowering in its deepest core, this work can truly transform any pilgrim who wishes to apply its methods. As a psychotherapist and graduate university professor of psychology, I deeply recommend this work."
Richard A. Heckler University Professor, Psychotherapist Sonoma, CA
"The Parenting Solution used 'parenting' as the platform to teach me skills that I am using to change my life in unexpected ways. I am confident, happy, and satisfied with myself and from here I will interact with my kids and my husband in a more loving and accepting way."
