Ouch! My bad parenting skills could be costing me over $100 000!
Written by Robin Booth
The most important thing about understanding our modern day parenting crisis is knowing how much this crisis could be costing us. But we know it costs us frustration and patience. In this lecture I show you how we calculate how much time we are wasting, as well as how much this could be costing us in money! 45 minutes x 7 days = 22 hours per month x12 months = 270 hours in a year.

Your parenting style answered using the DISC profile test
Written by Robin Booth
This will help you understand your parenting style better. A few weeks ago (17th May, you can see it here)I posted a blog on how you can do the DISC personality profile test (worth $250) for free.

The outcome: a lot of stress, tension and misunderstanding. But now imagine that you know which type you are, and which type they are, then you would now know which appropriate skills and techniques to use to get what you needed done. Or what about your child's needs as a way of guidance from you? • High “D” children need challenge and dominance. • High “I” children…
