A typical letter from a parent
Just an update on our daughter Jessica. Jessica is a completely
changed child who now responds well to discipline. She still has
her moments especially when tired but overall she is a happier
child with more confidence in herself although this still needs
work on.
We have not a had a tantrum for 2 months and have just returned
from Lanzarote with a group of friends who's own children gave
their parents problems and ours did not. Just wanted to say thank
you and although everything is not perfect what in life is.
We now have a daughter we can enjoy and take anywhere.

Eight weeks from the start of the intervention
It is now 8 weeks since we started our programme with Mark. We
have seen an enormous change in the behaviour of all of us.
Mostly we have a very happy boy, rather than the temper tantrums
he would display he will now voice his upset. The other
noticeable change is how his irrational demands are,
decreasing.
We can even use our old sanctions provided we use them with the
principles you have explained to us. It is today over 1 week
since Jamie has been sent to his room, the last time, after being
sent there it was not necessary to forcibly hold the door, it was
enough to tell him that was where he was to stay. We understand
how easily it would be to slide back to old ways of responding to
him and have benefited immensely from being kept on track with
our evening conversations with you.
The use of rewards and sanctions have worked when before these
had little effect. Now we have established with Jamie that his
behaviour was not special and that we do not enjoy punishing him
but will not be diverted.
We had not realised before the enormous emotional reward he took
from our hour and a half long attempts to tell him off. These
were really arguments that weakened us regardless of how negative
and angry we tried to make ourselves.
This need for emotional interactions with us is now fed to him
through the quality time we can now give him and the praise he
earns for his achievements. We know that we will never will be
able to relax completely without risking going back to our old
ways of responding to him, but it is becoming easier over the
last few days and we find that we increasingly do the right
things automatically.
It now certainly feels that we are on the correct road. Your
programme was clear well supported and we could not believe how
quickly you have transformed our family.
Thank you
