ABOUT THE PROGRAM

The Love, Limits, and Lessons program was developed by Bill Corbett, a seasoned parent educator of over ten years.  The methodology of this program is based on the studies of two child psychologists, Dr Rudolph Dreikurs and Alfred Adler, and is designed to help parents and professionals understand exactly why children from 18 months to 18 years of age misbehave and act out.  Once this foundation of understanding is explained, it then provides effective, step-by-step discipline methods for creating firm and respectful boundaries that help children feel validated and understood.  The results are a better equipped “toolbox” for the parent and children who are respectful, cooperative and responsible.

 

THE LOVE, LIMITS,and LESSONS COURSE is a powerful course that teaches practical parenting skills.  The course atmosphere is supportive, nonjudgmental and loving.  Learn how to build mutual respect, resolve conflict and create effective teamwork at home and at work.
