Diagnose and Solve Problems
When you see a
problem, it is not always apparent how serious it is and what
to do to fix it is not always clear. The Family Solutions Workbook
makes identifying problems easier and improving behavior permanent.
It provides performance improving activities that help
parents to diagnose and improve behavior problems, learning
challenges and deficiencies in motivation. When children learn and
develop positive skills to act more appropriately, they are more
capable of acting more responsibly on their own without adult
supervision.
How It Creates Better Ways to Learn
As children are growing, they typically do first what they are most familiar with or have the most experience with. If children are mostly exposed to negative behaviors, those are usually the first to be displayed. If they are continually taught positive skills, and as a result develop better abilities to use those skills, they act more appropriately. The Family Solutions Workbook allows parents to decrease poor habits and increase positive behavior by teaching children more constructive ways to act. For example:
When children Pinch, push or hit, teach them how to be kind.
When children display strong emotional reactions, teach them self control and how to be emotionally stable.
If children are poor listeners and can’t remember directions well, teach them how to be attentive, organized and prepared.
When children give up easily, help build their confidence by teaching them to be persistent and motivated.
If children struggle with being enthusiastic about learning, get them excited about learning by teaching them how to motivate themselves.
“Our family is really busy and we don’t have a lot of time!”
Family meetings organized through this workbook average about 30 minutes a week……a week! When the guidelines in this workbook are followed, you can see results right a way—greater participation, more accountability and better learning and behavior.
“I’m a single parent”
The Family Solutions Workbook is a wonderful tool for single parents. One of the greatest benefits the workbook provides single parents is a system they can use to unify the family. For single parents, there is often so much to do that it seems like just surviving is good enough. But where structuring your family for success is concerned, it is important to have clear and firm ideas about what you want for your children.
With the Family Solutions Workbook any parent now has a way to motivate and connect with their children and teach important life skills we all need to be happy and successful.

Teaching Children About Sex, Reproduction, and Chastity
"Where
do babies come from?"
All parents have or soon enough will hear this inevitable question from their children. But what do you tell your children and how old should they be when you start teaching them about this important principle? These are the most common questions all parents ask themselves, and finding the answers to these questions and, most importantly, your children’s questions are conveniently in one book—"Teaching about Sex, Reproduction and Chastity.”
By providing parents with a clear outline of what to say, how to say and when to say it, this book eliminates the guess work and allows any parent to comfortably and confidently teach their children about reproduction.
Teaching your children about sex, reproduction, and chastity is the only way to make certain they know what you want them to know. Plus, you can lovingly influence the attitudes and management skills they need to live happy and successful lives. Topics discussed include:
Why you should teach
Helping children develop a sexual map for better decision making
A seven-step teaching plan
How to teach about chastity
How to promote healthy development
Table of Contents:
Chapter I Why Parents Should Teach
Chapter II Selecting Your Teaching Goals
Chapter III The
Seven-Step Teaching Program
Chapter IV Your Family Workshop
Chapter V Teaching about Chastity
Chapter VI Promoting
Healthy Sexual Development
Book Excerpt:
…..Although most of us recognize the importance of teaching children about sex, reproduction and chastity, it is awkward because the whole enterprise is not an easy or simple thing. What should we tell children? When, or at what age should we tell them? Who should tell them and how should it be done? How will it influence them and what will happen if we make a mistake and say something incorrectly, the wrong way, or at the wrong time? Isn’t it better, we think, to let nature take its course and allow children to discover for themselves? Or, aren’t there other people who will do it?
No, it is not better to let nature takes its course. Nor are there other people who can teach better than you can. You either teach the way you want your children to know about sex, reproduction, and chastity or you risk them thinking and doing something other than what you would like. This risk is greater today than ever before and, as a result, many of our children are thinking and doing things that are harmful to themselves and to other people.
