What parents who have attended say:
“I thought there was no way this would work as well as you said, but boy was I wrong! What is really cool is it works just as well, if not better, weeks after we started. I not only see the boys behaving better but you can see they feel better and are happier. I have also been pitching Smart Discipline to everyone who will listen because it has worked so well for us.”

“Before Smart Discipline we had power struggles that ended in screaming matches. My daughter would disrespect me, ignore me and talk back to me. My heart would bleed every time we went through this.
