“Let’s Fix the Kids!”
Creating a New Environment at Home
By: Dr. James Jones
ABOUT THE AUTHOR: James and Lillie Jones were happily raising four beautiful children. They excelled in sports, church and school.
Then, tragically, their youngest son was introduced to drugs by "friends" at church. They wondered what they had done wrong as they waded through a hellish nightmare of police, lawyers, courts, jail, probation, drug programs, counselors, and psychologists.
Desperate, James began an intensive research program. He earned a Masters' Degree in Marriage, Family and Child Counseling, and later, a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology.
In 1985, he began to critically analyze and test the many parenting programs and books available on the market. He concluded that they were contradictory, seriously incomplete and, in light of new scientific studies, often in error.
During this time, he taught hundreds of parenting seminars to thousands of families who have personally tested and validated as correct and effective the concepts and principles he taught.
contains numerous charts and exercises to put great ideas into practice
Chapter 1: Parent Traps: Identifies 21 devastating parent traps and shows how to eliminate them completely. (Examples: anger, arguing, criticizing, rescuing, nagging, inconsistency, lying, controlling, rage, etc.)
Chapter 2: Correct Principles: Identifies 13 correct principles which are the foundation of a healthy home. (Such as: freedom of choice, personal accountability, unconditional love, responsibility, work, earning, contracts, consequences and family government.)
Chapter 3: Communications: Frees parents from their controlling, critical parent roles and opens effective and loving parent/child communications.
Chapter 4: Family Government: Illustrates why the autocratic, permissive and democratic parenting styles are inherently problematic (power-based) and why the Loving/Trust family succeeds.
Chapter 5: Behavior Modification: Provides parents with many very powerful scientific procedures and techniques to create desirable behavior and extinguish undesirable behavior. These work like magic!
Chapter 6: Token Economy: Builds character, skills and self-esteem by requiring that kids earn much of what they get and learn to manage their own time and resources. This does away with teenage retirement.
Chapter 7: Child Development: Outlines critical growth patterns and stages using cognitive, moral and psychosocial developmental models.
Chapter 8: Family Systems: Reveals how families function (and dysfunction) and how parents unwittingly pass on to succeeding generations their dysfunctional patterns of behavior.
Chapter 9: Introduction to Personality: Provides a model giving uncanny insight into the various personality types and how to deal effectively with each one.
Chapter 10: Parent Education and Study Groups: Their importance and how to organize and conduct them.
