Surprise, AZ -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/05/2010 -- Effective child management is typically impacted by parenting beliefs and values that influence our parenting abilities (90%) and the implementation of specific parenting skills (10%). This live powerful one-hour webinar explores parental beliefs and values (the 90%) that could limit or reduce child behavior improvement. Unless these beliefs and values are identified and addressed, very little progress, if any, can be made to improve child misbehavior.

This webinar explores:

1. Whether discipline is responsible for behavior change,
2. At what age parents should begin disciplining their child,
3. Disciplining an ADHD child,
4. Whether psychotropic medication cures misbehavior, and
5. Preventing parental burnout.

This webinar is extremely beneficial to parents (especially of strong-willed children), caregivers, Educators, and anyone else who works with children.

As our gift for attending, participants will receive a free copy of the “Standing Up To Bullying” Computer game. This game, designed to teach children anti-bullying skills, can be played in classrooms, homes, or therapy settings.

The presenter is Mark Lakewood, CEO of Building Strong Families National Seminars, http://www.StrongFamilies.us, a distinguished parenting expert, author, and speaker with over 20 years of clinical experience as a mental health therapist. Mr. Lakewood has an extensive history providing therapy services to children, adolescents, and adults. Several years ago, he developed and facilitated an effective parenting program for parents of strong-willed children that gained local recognition. This program taught parents strategies and techniques to help them effectively manage their children's behavior. Based on the enormous success of this program, Mr. Lakewood recently created the Sudden Compliance Program and is currently offering it as a DVD, downloadable video, and webinar series.

Participants can view, hear, and interact with Mr. Lakewood similar to that of an onsite seminar. Participants are not required to have a webcam.

This webinar is scheduled for Thursday, May 27th, 2010 from 10:00am to 11:00pm (Mountain Time). Additional dates may be scheduled. If the scheduled dates of this webinar are inconvenient, participants can request this live webinar to be scheduled on a date most convenient to them.
