Being diagnosed with an auto immune disease in 2002 created me to see what I had been given in life- information. During my rehabilitation I did as people had hoped, wrote a book about my insights, experiences, and philosophy on children's behaviors, and techniques and strategies proven to help correct any child's behavior. 7 years later, I have finally finished my long journey; I present to you my work.

Bruce Benko's... understanding of how a child thinks and processes our words and behaviors is essential to becoming effective parents… Each of us has a responsibility to LEARN how to parent in the best possible way – with love and respect; understanding that at times our emotions get the better of us.
