Experienced family professionals across the country have referred to this as the most comprehensive and up-to-date parenting instructor program available today. Many younger parents recognized the
problems with this, but unfortunately they switched to permissive
parenting methods that made everybody very frustrated with their
children's lack of self-discipline. Even the children were
frustrated(!), because they did not get any guidance. This is a huge problem
today and we are all worse off because of it. These
methods are
presented in the Breakthrough Parenting program with numerous real-life examples
that show parents how to handle virtually any family situation, based on
giving parents a real understanding
of how children think and function. All examples used are from
real Breakthrough Parenting families, and nothing is made up. There is no "wishful thinking,"
because that doesn't help anybody. You can teach them how to improve their communication skills, and give them effective interventions for the most stressful family challenges today. You will be able to cover all age groups, literally "from birth to 100." Why this large span? Because it is never too early to start, and nobody ever truly grows up (almost everybody knows at least one person who is in his or her 50s, 60s, or even 70s, but emotionally functions like a teenager). Breakthrough Parenting does not teach manipulative techniques. Why not? Stressed parents may even ask for them at times... Simply because, as many parents have already found, sneaky techniques don't work well with today's children. Especially today's teens and tweens (10-12 years olds) are very quick at recognizing anything sneaky, and the other age groups aren't far behind.
We have heard from many parents in other parenting programs, saying that they went home to try the techniques they learned, only to hear their children yell, "Now you're doing that parenting thing again!" That was not only embarrassing, it was a complete waste of everybody's time, and it was caused by the use of obsolete practices from the 1970s.
We think that what has been missing for a long time in parenting
instructor training is a comprehensive understanding of how
children think and function, how to develop their natural potential, how
to keep them out of trouble to the greatest extent possible, and a
method for how to teach this to regular parents at all
educational levels, simultaneously, in the same parenting class, without
anyone getting bored!
The following are the key parts of the Breakthrough Parenting curriculum:
1. Three Approaches to Raising Children — understand how the traditional authoritarian and permissive parenting approaches work, and a more evolved approach, based on recent psychological research, that leads to superior child development and less stress for the parents. 2. Making the Shift — how to raise children to become inner-directed, prevent the victim syndrome, teach children to take age-appropriate responsibility, reduce polarized thinking, use positive thinking in a way that works, learn how to influence children, how to set personal boundaries, understanding the cycle of change. 3. Understanding the Source of Behavior — understand what creates different behaviors and their underlying thoughts, feelings, and needs. 4. Teaching Responsibility — truly understand what responsibility is, teach children with the R=TLC method, learn six steps towards for solving any family problem to ensure the problem stays solved, and how to set up effective study habits 5. Helping Children Build Healthy Self-Esteem — understand destructive and constructive labels, use the CTBG method, understand how mistakes can be very valuable 6. Communicating Effectively — avoid getting outsmarted by the kids, handle disciplinary situations with far less stress, use the receptive listening formula to get children to communicate with their parents, build trust with teenagers, avoid the "accusatory you," help children communicate better with their teachers. 7. Practicing Role Playing — help children and parents remove mental blocks when facing each other in difficult situations, even when seemingly "impossibly stuck." 8. Influencing Children Positively — understand how children learn, use all four effective leadership styles for parents, teach children the self-discipline skills they need for school work. 9. Problems with Punishment — understand the practical outcome of verbal and physical punishment, the differences between discipline and punishment. 10. Discipline with Love — learn how to make agreements clear to children, how to address the behavior rather than the person, use natural consequences for self-discipline that can last a lifetime, learn how to plan ahead in family activities to prevent predictable problems, stopping temper tantrums at any age. 11. How Children Think — understand the role of play as an important part of children's learning, develop a child's multi-faceted mind based on his or her individual strengths.
13. Reducing Stress in the Family — how to truly accept children as the unique individuals they are, understand the often hidden needs of every human. 14. Resolving Family Conflicts — how to identify conflicts, choose among four powerful and effective conflict resolution strategies, build closeness amidst chaos.

How can I become a Certified Breakthrough Parenting Instructor? We have been offering Certified Breakthrough Parenting Instructor training since October 1998. Over the 25 years we have been offering this training, more than 70% of attendees have come by recommendation from previous graduates.
This is a very focused, very high quality
training that teaches real skills, how to teach those skills, and how
to make your classes or private coaching with parents as efficient as
possible. Those who want to set up their own program from scratch get all materials and the knowledge they need to get referrals and making it a business. Professional Self Study CBPI Program This program
allows you to become a Certified Breakthrough Parenting Instructor, working
at your own pace with parents anywhere in the world. You have access to live support for your questions at no extra charge. Certification to become a Certified Breakthrough Parenting Instructor is granted on a) passing a written exam with a minimum of 70% correct answers, and b) satisfactory completion of the 75-page Breakthrough Parenting workbook. The exam uses fill-in-the-blanks and multiple-choice questions, and if you miss it the first time you are allowed to retake it at no charge. The workbook is what creates the Breakthrough of going from "knowledge" (memorized information) to "understanding" (how parents should use what you teach them in their own unique personal family situations). You get everything you need to confidently help parents. The materials include a detailed lesson plan that shows you exactly how to teach each class, continuously improved during our 25 years of experience. You can modify the plan for the special needs of your population, but it is a rock solid starting point. All administrative materials (including the paperwork for court-referred parents) are included in the very comprehensive and clear Teacher's Guide, and you can be up and running very confidently with a class of your own within hours after graduating, with the confidence of knowing that even your very first class will be of very high professional quality. After your graduation as a Certified Breakthrough Parenting Instructor, if you are starting private classes or coaching, we offer you a personalized web page at no charge. You just let us know what you are offering, where you are offering it, and how you want to be contacted. We then set up your web page in such a way that you show up in the search engines in typically a few days, instead of in up to one year's time for Google if you set up your own site. This allows you to post information about
your classes and/or your parent coaching so parents can find you, and
you have a solid reference when you contact institutions such as schools, PTAs, social agencies, etc. We also
help you with flyers that you may want to use to make it easy for people to refer to you.
