This 35-minute, Telly-award-winning, engaging program presents commonsense techniques for dealing with four challenging parent-child interactions:

• When children are very active
• When children get angry
• When children whine
• When siblings fight

After each scene, viewers are encouraged to stop the program to discuss alternatives to yelling, threatening or putting children down. When viewers resume watching, they see a variety of positive, practical techniques presented in a style that is friendly and easy to follow.

This program, featuring an ethnically diverse cast, has been highly praised for its realistic depiction and practical, common sense solutions to difficult parenting challenges that often lead to verbal and emotional abuse. Kerby T. Alvy, Ph.D., internationally respected clinical child psychologist and the director of the Center for Child Caring, in Studio City, California, was the primary parenting consultant for the video.
