About this item

Dr. Johnson ( Dr. J. )has been teaching this parenting program since 1987. After much pressure from professionals and parents to write a book, he finally wrote the book in 2000. Since 2001, he s been speaking in 80 cities per year all over the USA. He has trained over 20,000 professionals on how to work with parents with out of control children. Positive Parenting with a Plan: FAMILY Rules is now being used by group homes, treatment facilities, psychiatric research hospitals, private practitioners, pediatricians, probation officers, public and private schools, churches and synagogues, divorce courts, foster care systems, child protective services agencies, and by thousands of parents across the USA. Finally, even parents in Europe, Africa, South America, and Australia are benefiting from using Positive Parenting with a Plan: FAMILY Rules in their homes too. As a result of speaking around the USA in 80 cities per year since 2001, some agencies have grabbed a hold of Dr. Johnson s parenting program, used it in their facilities, and have conducted their own research studies. Here is one example: In September of 2005, while completing the networking time at the beginning of Dr. Johnson s seminar in Atlanta GA, Dr. David Anthony stood up and shared that their agency, Family Intervention Specialists, Inc., employs 57 counselors throughout 11 counties in the state of Georgia. He then told the seminar attendees that they have been using Positive Parenting with a Plan/FAMILY Rules for the past 2 years with their juvenile clients and families (i.e., from 2003 to 2005). He shared that their research demonstrated that their families have an 85% success rate with this program (i.e., the juvenile offenders are not reoffending). Finally, he stated that they would probably have a 95% success rate if they could weed out the hardened offenders. In summary, Positive Parenting with a Plan/FAMILY Rules works because of the input from many moms, dads, and kids during the first two years of developing the program. It works because it supports and promotes parental authority through the use of the Hierarchy Model rather than King Arthur s Round Table . It works because the philosophical foundation of the parenting program has been built upon a rock rather than sinking sand (i.e., There are a lot of parenting programs out there that look good, sound good, smell good, and feel good but they re philosophically flawed because their philosophical foundations have been built upon sinking sand and ultimately undermine adult authority in the home, school, and in the community). It works because it targets the whole family system for changing their attitudes and behaviors not just the child(ren). Finally, it works because it takes good old fashioned parenting and puts it together in a new and improved package, minus corporal punishment, and provides order and structure in the home for parenting which is the chemo therapy needed to eliminate the dysfunctional cancer in your home. There is no other parenting program out there like this one. If you want things to actually change in your home with a spelled out game plan for implementing the program from A-Z, then you ve finally found it. If you correctly and consistently implement this program in your home, then expect things to get a whole lot better. Your quest is over. You have arrived. Congratulations!!!
