Enhancement
We have greatly enhanced this program by giving parents two great personal development programs by Kevin Lyndon at the end of the course:
1) How to Become a Great Parent Despite Being Perfectly Imperfect
2)What a Father Wants Every Child to Know /What a Black Father Wants Every Black Child to Know.
With things so much different in the 21st Century to the last when we were growing up, parenting is increasingly challenging. This program addresses most areas of parenting in a thorough uncompromising, controversial and thought provoking way, incorporating many aspects of life and many personal experiences
Various phases are addressed from pre-conception to adulthood. Powerful techniques are provided that a parent will find invaluable given that they will enhance or reinforce what they are currently doing, or alternatively, provide them with a completely new perspective to consider applying to improve not only their lifestyle, but that of their child.
The purpose of What a Father Wants Every Child to Know is to help bridge the gap for the fatherless children, those with absent, part-time or comparatively non-expressive fathers, in order to give the children a father?s knowledge, wisdom and the ?competitive edge?, increase self-esteem, largely provide third party verification for positive ideas that may have been presented by their parents, whilst also helping to prepare them to function effectively in the 21st century.
What
a Black Father Wants Every Black Child to Know
is essentially a specially formulated version of What a Father Wants Every Child to Know from a black
perspective addressing some of the unique issues blacks have to deal with such
as racism, cultural issues, low expectations of others towards them, towards
themselves and stereotypes for example
Why? Many parents do not necessarily have good reading skills or allocate time to read the manual that we provide them with from the program but are more inclined to listen to cds, whether it is at home or whilst driving. Similarly, if there is no support for the children, in particular those that are 12 years old or older, they are less likely to achieve harmony with their parents and other people that they are likely to come in contact with in their environment.,
We usually only have one attempt to address the issues for each parent so it is of extreme importance that we make the most of it. Admittedly some parents may be there voluntarily whilst others may be there as a result as part of a punitive measure. Either way, we are very pleased to say that many clients soon open their minds to making significant changes in various aspects of their lives, one step at a time.
