★★★★★ Best Parenting Guide Ever! - apsaunders
"Absolutely the best parenting tool I have ever found! I have taken (on average) two parenting classes per year for the past five years. I just want to be better at my role as a mom! I find it insane that parenting is the most important job of our lives, yet it's the role we learn the least about! I received zero parenting education! Then I started to seek it out. I enjoy every parenting class I take, but Total Transformation is the only one I need! I agree with every single technique it teaches! That never happens! I can apply every single idea given from Total Transformation with ease! It just makes sense! Thank you Total Transformation!" 

★★★★★ Picking your battles and setting limits - Kat65
"Complete Guide to Consequences has helped me to pick my battles wisely, Take a break before screaming and simply stating my limits and walking away. My daughter has really came around in the last month and is such a joy to be around. AND she is now doing her jobs around the house with only one request and very little sarcasm and manipulation. I found this program at the point I would lose my sanity! It helped me so much! I highly recommend it and the parent coaching is a life saver!!!"

★★★★★ What A Relief! - TXSue
"The Total Transformation Program helped to stop the battles with my 12 year-old every day over everything. It has been such a wonderful relief. We still have work to do. But the great thing about the program is that I can go back to it again and again, and pick up new ideas each time. James gives you very specific examples and words to use. I would recommend that every parent try the program."
