When a toy broke, we repaired it and we used our imagination to create games and toys that we came up with. We also lived outside the house from morning until the street lights came on. I grew up with the knowledge that I was going to college after high school. This is be basis for my book. I learned at an early age to solve my problems on my own and did not wait for my parents to fight my battles. Discipline was simple, if I broke a rule, did not follow directions or I failed to complete a task, there was a consequence. Consequences ranged from verbal directions to physical consequences. As I began my career as a Marriage and Family Therapist, I noticed that parents did not want to upset their children when they made mistakes, which resulted in children not have knowledge to solve problems. This began my search for skills needed to solve problems. I came up with ways to discipline children (Part 1: Parenting 101) and skill sets for children (Part 2: Tools to Raise a Healthy Teenager). Through experience in using problem solving skills, I have been able to accomplish a successful and fulfilling life. I was on my own after high school and qualified for grants, scholarships and financial aid to pay for my education. I started 5 different successful companies, became a Scuba Diving Instructor, an exotic tour company owner, a television producer with award winning episodes, an author, have 2 undergraduate degrees, 2 masters degree and 1 Ph.D. and I enjoy life every day. I hope you enjoy this book on parenting and you will find several ways to discipline your children and provide necessary social skills to raise a successful young adult.ver menos
