Reviews
★★★★★ Getting on the same page! - Mr. Dale
"Me and my wife sees everything different! She was raised completly different then myself. We both want whats best for our child, but cannot agree on things or ways of raising our child. Mr. Lehman has open our eyes and showed us how to move forward toward a common goal for the better of our child. Effective, easily understandable, and direct approch. Thank you, James Lehman"
★★★★★ Divorced but united - blondrn
"My EX and I used the TWO PARENTS ONE PLAN and stand united with our 13 yr old. Her attitude has shifted and she now is way more respectful and does homework and chores without arguing and fighting. While he and I are on different sides of town and we each have a week at a time, the techniques are easy to use and incorporate into daily uses."
★★★★★ Hope for Unity - tiredsoldier
"My spouse and I have been polarized and stuck on how to handle our 12 year old...problems with disrespect, anger outbursts, defiance...it took weeks to get my spouse just to watch the video...in fact, we've only just viewed it...but we are ready to attack things differently after watching the first video...we are very hopeful the techniques we saw will start to turn things around, based on the success we had with just one of us trying the Total Transformation program. Responsibility, accountability, communication...we are sure good things will come...even if in tiny measures.."
★★★★★ help when we needed it - Army Wife
"I loved this program. It taught me so much about not whether or not I'm a good parent, but if I'm an effective parent. That mindset is so important in me being able to keep my composure during heated situations."
★★★★★ School Counselor loves your programs - School Counselor
"I often see oppositional behavior at the elementary level, and understand how preventable it is! I have purchased several of the programs to help parents in our school district. They have loved your DVD, Two Parents One Plan, because it gives them the tools to stop that oppositional behavior quickly while saving marriages at the same time. When people ask me for resources, Empowering Parents is the first on my list."
★★★★★ Two parents one plan. - Tina
"I am a psychotherapist and am always looking for effective tools for my clients. I love the way James cut right through the emotion of a situation and gets to the facts. Dealing with the facts helps the parents to see how they are enabeling poor behavior or getting in the way of desired behavior."
