  • help children control their own computer time;
  • calm children’s fears without fixing anything;
  • reverse cheating;
  • reverse avoidance patterns;
  • reverse sibling rivalry;
  • bring out your child’s strengths;
  • encourage creativity;
  • open dialog with kids of all ages;
  • rebuild a heartwarming connection with your child;
  • and more!

Watching the DVD puts you in the room with Sandy Blackard and Eva Sim-Zabka as they present this life-changing approach to parenting. Invite your spouse or friends and share it with your child’s teachers to create a community of support for your child. Approx. 98 minutes.

— Iris (children 5, 8) – Austin, TX
