Raising a G-Rated Family in an X-Rated World

By Brent Hatch— “The Hug Doctor”
Parent / Author / CA Parent of the Year

Participants will learn:

• How role playing today prepares children to handle “X-Rated” situations tomorrow
• How to solicit honest feedback from children
• What hugs can do for children's mental and physical development
• Why humor is important and how to use it with kids
• How to get children away from the TV and video games and into productive, enjoyable activities instead
• How to get kids to actually carry on a conversation
• What it takes to help kids make value-based judgments on their own!

Using stories he has gleaned from his own experience in raising his seven children and from comparing notes with hundreds of other parents, Brent explains how parenting can be pleasant and how it can yield satisfactory results—for parents and children alike! Parents, educators and counselors will find he offers dozens of tips and techniques that can immediately be put to use for happier more productive homes—where values are the foundation and where a G-Rated environment wards off the effects of an X-Rated world.

“ Your presentation was appropriate and meaningful to parents of all age children. …truly a passionate and compelling speaker. You made the audience feel their connection to one another and to our community concern regarding our children's success. Your presentation was fun, enlightening and easy to listen to.”

- Nancy J. Spence, Conference Coordinator

Dr. Sal's How to Behave So Your Children Will, Too! Workshop comes to your living room--on video!

If you're like me, you've read Dr. Sal's book, How to Behave So Your Children Will, Too! from cover to cover. You've used the techniques he describes to help yourself and your child behave. But as time goes by, you begin to slip--to forget some of the techniques that are essential to practice. Every time I pick up the book, it's a big, Oh, yes! for me. That's right! I had forgotten . . . I want to try . . .

Even if you have the book, you will enjoy the video. You may have a spouse who would watch the video, but would not take the time to read the book. When both parents use the same strategies, everyone benefits. The video is divided into sections, making it is easy to view--for whatever time you have available.

My husband and I were fortunate to be invited to attend Dr. Sal's workshop on parent and child misbehavior. It was a rewarding day. We were positively impacted by the power of Dr. Sal's parenting message. It was easy to sit back, listen, and absorb. We left with a renewed commitment to our son--to practice the parenting behaviors that would enable him to know how to behave. It felt good to know my spouse was on the same page with me. We were a parenting team.

The workshop video is now available from Greentree Publishing. The content is as powerful as the book, and you have the advantage of listening to Dr. Sal explain the use of his techniques. You will see real parents--just like you--ask the same questions you have. In fact, one of the things you will learn is that you are not alone. Other parents are like you, with the same parenting challenges.

Some sections of the book are more relevant to you and your family depending on your child's age and current behavior patterns. When you view the video, you will find that some concepts are more relevant to you now than when you first read the book. Most importantly, you will remember more. This video gives you more exposure to Dr. Sal's parenting guidelines so that more of the message penetrates.

If you think the book is easy to read, you should hear the words coming right from Dr. Sal on the video. He has a gift for explaining complicated ideas in simple and easy-to-understand terms. Although he makes use of proven psychological techniques, he explains them in plain English, so that they are easy to understand. Some experts are big on theory, but do not give parents specific ideas. Dr. Sal tells you exactly how to behave, so your children will, too--just as the title suggests.
