I have a lot of common sense, and I love my patients very much. Parents need training just as professionals need training. Children need trained parents as much as they need loving parents. Training pulls together all the good ideas you already have, provides structure and direction, and gives you confidence. You learn that what you are doing is right.
More confidence means more self-control, less anger, less guilt, and less frustration.
More confidence means more respect from your children. Without confidence, many parents are afraid to correct or punish their children. Some worry that their children will not like them or are afraid they might harm their children emotionally, so they let their children misbehave. Parenting is more difficult because childhood is more difficult. Pressure on our children translates into problems for us.
