Well this giveaway is for all you parents who feel similar (I know I am not the only one). I want to introduce you to ProActive Parenting. ProActive Parenting is dedicated to helping parents raise children, not just correct behavior. They offer several Parenting seminars on MP3 audio that you download to your computer, to your iPod, or MP3 player or burn a CD . This allows you to be able to listen at your own convenience and during your busy schedule. They must know parenting when they know that trying to find a minute to sit down to read is nearly impossibly. When you purchase any of their seminars you will also receive a monthly newsletter, a collection of tips, and stories from Sharon, the Mommie Mentor and others, as well as great resources that can help you with your daily life and all you have on your plate.
ProActive Parenting offers a seminar on age appropriate time-outs and seminars on teaching parents how to create
a change in behavior in everyday life events of a toddler or preschooler. Some of these include whining, siblings, interrupting, yelling and more. Although Proactive Parenting focuses on toddlers and preschoolers, their teachings can help you with older children and for years to come.
I would love to get my hands on my own copy one of these seminars. Well actually I would love to get my hands on all of these seminars. Well, one of you are going to win just that, a free download of the entire series, The Everyday Solution Series. This is all 10 seminars and a $149.95 value!

I could definitely use their "Interrupting" seminar. My 4 year old always needs to talk while my husband and I try to have a conversation and we've had a hard time getting him to stop!

One technique we've sued with our older son is giving him stickers for going to sleep without trouble and for staying in his own room all night. It usually works for us!

I like the quote at the bottom of the philosophy page that says
"Discipline expresses a parent's boundaries with the emotional volume turned down."
I'd use this: Correcting Toddlers
I have a 1 year old, so we're not into TOO much discipline.. but I find distraction works wonders!
I like when "playful parenting" works to diffuse an overly emotional/angry parenting moment.
I learned that The philosophy behind ProActive Parenting is based in the use of discipline instead of punishment, and the fact that you’re too busy! You’re too busy to read another book on parenting theory, you’re too busy to go through another seminar where the method is explained but never really applied to your real everyday life. You’re just too busy! this sounds great. amsbolda@hotmail.com
one thing that's been working for me lately since I am a mom to 1 right now is ignoring the tantrums she seems to be throwing them less now. amsbolda@hotmail.com
I would like to try the How to Respond NOT React to Toddler and Preschool Behavior.

I found the How to Respond NOT React To Toddler and Preschool Behavior Audio Seminar most intriguing. I know I could use it!

I just spent the last fifteen minutes looking for your blog! I think that means it's time to follow you. Oh... I grabbed your button too!
Stop Reacting - Start Responding - looks great. My son sure tests me sometimes and I'm not sure what to do. I could use some helpfu advice.
I try to make picking up a fun thing to do, not a chore. More like a game to see who can do more. My son loves competition and he gets excited and happy to help.
The "How to respond not just react" for toddlers, etc would be fabulous for my Son and Dtr-in-law! They are doing a FABULOUS job w/my Grandson and I try to remain like Switzerland - so I could give them this and they would have all the help they need (minus the "advice" from Grandma-which I try NOT to give unsolicited!!! :)

I'm a (Fairly new) subscriber - love this blog!
We use a whinning/negativity jar. Each child starts out with 25 pennies on Monday. If they are heard saying words that aren't so nice or they come in a whine to us, they put a penny in the Mommy/Daddy jar. At the end of the week what ever is left in their jars they get to keep. It has really seemed to make them aware of the way the speak to each other and us.

we could definitely use the
#1 Correcting Toddlers mverno@roadrunner.com
I like the respond not react message. Responding instead of reacting not only preserves the parent-child relationship it creates a calmer parent and a calmer household without losing the ability to teach and correct behavior.
I could use the "Yelling" seminar; I find myself doing more and more of it and it would be great if someone could help me change that! Thanks for the giveaway

Boy, could I ever use the Correcting Toddlers seminar! Our son is almost two, and we're making the transition from just redirection and distraction to real "parenting." It's tough! katisknowland(at)gmail(dot)com
A lot of what we've done with my son so far is about prevention of an argument ... giving him the choice of two outfits or two activities. It helps him feel in control and we don't get to the point of tantrums and meltdowns. You know, when it works :)
katisknowland(at)gmail(dot)com
And now I'm a subscriber!
This is seriously a great site. To learn how to teach our children is definitely the most important thing we can invest out time and money into.
I could really use the Correcting Toddlers lesson.
I could use the interrupting seminar.

I would love to win the entire package for my son and daughter-in-law, who have a 2-1/2 year old and four year old (girls). My favorite seminar (so far) is the How to Respond not React to Toddler and Preschool Behavior. Too bad parenting doesn't come with a Manuel!
maggie@mannwieler.com
Right now my daughter-in-law uses the Time Out Mat purchased from a Retailer. Personally, I don't like it, but she says it works. I believe in first finding out what the problem is, and then offering a couple of solutions. If I have a child that's throwing a tantrum, I let them go at it while I go into the kitchen describing something yummy I'm going to bake and that it's too bad I don't have anyone to decorate it for me (then I'll bake cupcakes or something) and within a minute or two, one or more of my granddaughters come in to ask to help me. So far, so good. Then, while we're mixing and stirring, we discuss what just happened and how to prevent it from happening again. I prefer holding, kissing and humor to any type of "discipline":)
maggie@mannwieler.com
Well the discipline approach may actually teach something... so that's good.
I need the "Correcting Preschoolers" seminar to teach me how to avoid arguments and mini meltdowns with my daughter who is almost three. She doesn't have tantrums but she can whine and push my buttons with the best of them....

i could use the #1 Correcting Toddlers
Aww my toddler could use 'quiet'!
I'm following on twitter.
My parenting tip isn't disciple related, but here goes.
Cosleeping +breastfeeding = happy nights for mom. It'll be six years non-stop as of tomorrow (3 babies), and I'm still alive!
It appeals to me because of their philosophy to respond vs react.
mayacarpenter at verizon dot net
It works well for me to head off my duaghter being upset when we leave somewhere to make sure to tell my daughter in advance what to expect. For example when we are going somewhere, I tell her that we'll be there a long time or a short time. Then before it's time to leave, I say, almost time to leave....give advance notice instead of abruptly leaving.

I love their slogan "Stop Reacting Start Responding" How many times do we react to something our kids do instead of teaching our kids how to behave from the get go? I'm fumbling my way through the toddler years with my son and I would love some guidance. Thanks for the great giveaway!

I could definitely use the power struggle seminar!
We're about to bring home our second child, so could use the siblings seminar.
Speak softly by patting and hugging him. He can slowly learn and change.

As I've recently adopted a 2 and 4 yr old sibling pair, I'm pretty new to this behaviour-mummy-type thing. I found that sticker charts with various rewards such as DVD choice, comic, special story time word best.
I would love to try the Correcting Toddlers. My hubby and I react way too often.
Something I try to be proactive about is their meals. I try to get things ready prior to them melting down because they are so hungry.
They have so many good programs. I would be helped by just using one of them.
I could use the one on correcting toddlers and the one on siblings. These are great.
oh my...as a mother of a 3 year old and a one year old that are very independent and head strong I could use all of it. Some nights i go to bed crying taht i am a failure of a mom, then other nights when it was a good day I feel like I want another one. Most days recently since my son hit 3 years old have been a battle of the wills. I am willing to try it all to see what sticks! i am running out of ideas

oh my e-mail is krisemma(at)msn(dot)com
sorry i forget most things these days! lol
any seminar in parenting I am a mother of a 2 year old and i stepped into the role of mother for a thirteen year old on top of it I have a 34 year old ( I think he is the worst behaving)I need any help I can get!!! I just want to give my boys the best I can provide
OOOPs never done this before last post about boys I am lilmisswt@live.com
I like that they are about responding instead of reacting. It is very easy to react when your toddler is frustrating you but it should be the other way around.
My child does not respond well to time outs but he does to putting an object in timeout. If he is misbehaving, I put the item that is causing the issue or a toy that is near and dear to him in time out and he changes his behavior quickly.
I could use the How to Respond
NOT React to
Toddler and Preschool Behavior. I could use some guidance on not reacting to bad behavior and using the correct response.
The best parenting tip that I think I can offer is to offer positive reassurance when my kids do well. Even if it is they didnt fight for a day I tell them how proud I am of them. I think that sometimes this is left out and the focus is always on the behavior that wasnt so nice.

I would love to see the how to respond not react seminar! I try my best but know that I could use some help! Thanks for a great giveaway

If Brea is throwing a tantrum I try to find something to distract her with. Sometimes works, but sometimes I just have to let her cry it out.
I find the How to Respond not React to Toddler and Preschool Behavior interesting.
My preschooler likes to hear the reasoning behind what I ask the kids to do - I have to explain why, not just tell them to do it.
You guys rock! Thank you for checking out my site and the wonderful seminars we have available to help parents correct behavior with respectful loving firmness. Don't forget to sign up for our newsletter so you can get monthly tips and tools.
I like the Correcting Toddlers.
I really could use some help on teaching my son not to interrupt !!

I could use #3 Power Struggles. garrettsambo@aol.com
Our 18 month old is starting to get his own little will. We'd love the toddler behavior seminar to give us helpful ways to work with him rather than battling him.
