James Lehman's Total Transformation Program
No child’s behavior is perfect. Growing up can be tough and it should come as no surprise if your son or daughter gets a little ornery or out of hand from time to time. But when a child’s behavior is consistently disruptive and disrespectful, it can put a great strain on family relationships and home life, causing extreme frustration for both parent and child. In this situation, a serious intervention is needed to nip things in the bud. Therapy can be very helpful, but also very expensive and not necessarily a sure bet for improvement. Recently, while reading and collecting articles on parenting and play therapy I discovered an intervention that’s thorough, informed, and far less expensive. It also offers a 30-day trial for free so you can get acquainted with the program before spending any money. The truth is, therapists can differ in their practices and personalities, so finding an appropriate one can get mighty pricey.
The Total Transformation Program® was created by James Lehman, MSW, a behavioral therapist in practice for over 30 years. Lehman displayed severe oppositional and defiant behaviors as a child and teen and has used this personal experience along with his expertise in the area of behavioral disorders to create a simple way to put a stop to defiant behavior, quickly and effectively. His capacity for empathy on the sides of both child and parent are clearly demonstrated in the sensible and realistic step-by-step lessons that teach you such things as
wow to stop an argument with your kid instantly,
the ten words to say when he gets mouthy, how to stop the show, accountability, consequences, and, finally,
what to do next time.
Behaviorally troubled kids lack the skills to solve the problems they encounter every day. The Total Transformation® teaches you how to give your child more effective ways to solve his problems than fighting, screaming, annoying and defiance. He'll learn a simple system that will enable him to handle his problems appropriately and on his own, without acting out. A system that gets him…and you…better results. The program teaches the child how to rethink his reactions to these problems he can’t solve, and teaches the parents about where their child’s behavioral issues are coming from.
As I said, I discovered Lehman’s program through articles he and his associates had written, all of which (I must have read through about 30 so far) make his expertise and understanding of child behavior very apparent. Here are a few samples:
I've put these articles and many more together in our new Parenting Strategies category. I definitely recommend reading through them. Even if your child's behavior isn't a serious problem, the articles and the program itself can be insightful and helpful. And with the 30-day free trial, it's definitely worth looking into.
