Dear Moms, Dads and Caregivers,
When my sons were 13 and 15 years-old, my husband died of cancer and I had to raise them alone.
Initially, things were totally out of control. My husband had been the disciplinarian in the home and I was the total pushover. I was the understanding parent who was as permissive as my husband was strict. You might say together we balanced each other out but imagine what happened when he was no longer there. Chaos!
All I can say is without the concepts of Empowerment Parenting, my children and I would have been lost. It truly saved my life and probably the lives of my children. In order to successfully navigate the dangers of childhood, children require a healthy balance of discipline, love, respect and support.

Many parents, when faced with a child going through a difficult period, will ask, “Why do I need to change? I’m not the one with the problem.” In effect, that question is all wrong! 
Who is it with the problem? Does the child come to the parent and say, “I really think I need some help to better control my behavior. I’m a little out of control!” I don’t know about you, but those were never words uttered in my house, although I believe they were certainly true at times.
Who’s the one with the problem? Who’s the one experiencing discomfort with the situation? I’m not asking who is “misbehaving”; I’m asking who is in the most distress over the events that exist? You are—the parent. That’s good. Now that problem ownership has been identified, the next question is fairly simple.
Whose behavior can you control? That’s right. Whose behavior are you able to change? If you were able to change your child’s behavior, you probably wouldn’t be reading this entry right now. Sure, you may be able to raise the stakes or make the punishment so severe, that your child will do what you want, but at what cost? What does it do to your relationship? Also, what do you think he or she does when you aren’t around to see? And if you are still holding fast to the belief that you can control your child’s behavior, have you ever attempted to feed a baby who didn’t want to be fed? Enough said!
Whose behavior can you control? That’s right. Yours! So, if you have a problem situation, what is the most logical thing to do? Again, you already know the answer! Decide what YOU can do differently to affect change in the situation. You can certainly keep doing what you’ve been doing but you are likely to continue to get the same results. How are they working for you so far? How much longer do you want to keep getting the results you’ve been getting? That’s the reason you need to look at changing what you are doing.
When you do, you tap into that awesome power within you. Your power source comes from focusing your energies on the things you can control—your own thoughts and behaviors. When you do that, you can achieve tremendous results but you have to give up the notion that you can force others to do things your way. Once you do, there’s no telling the effects the adjustments in your own behavior will make.
I have learned two very important things in my work as a parent and with the other parents I have known:
1. Parents and children both function better when they can maintain a positive relationship throughout the adolescent years.
2. As a parent, you will be better able to protect your child , when your child trusts you enough to share what is honestly going on with him or her.
No FRILLS, No FLUFF, No HYPE.
Just the information…and the KNOWLEDGE You NEED to help YOU SUCCEED as a PARENT.
Think about it, parenting is probably the most important job you’ll ever undertake and the one for which you are the least prepared and trained. All we have is the model of how our parents parented us. Even if you were lucky enough to have a stupendous example of parenting, what was successful thirty or forty years ago, may no longer be effective because the context in which we are operating as parents is vastly different from the one from which our parents operated.
You update your computer programming don’t you? Why wouldn’t you update your parenting skills, as well? What worked for your five year-old, will probably not work as well for your 15 year-old. Empowerment Parenting provides the answers.
Why should YOU listen to me???
BECAUSE, I have been where you are!!!!
Chances are you haven’t heard of me but my name is Kim Olver, MS, NCC, LPC, RTC! All these initials don't mean much unless you know that I have been teaching these concepts since 1988 and have raised two boys alone through their teenage years.
I have taught and/or trained hundreds of people, many of whom were parents. I worked in the field of foster care, helping foster parents gain the skills they needed to master that difficult task of raising someone else’s children, who had most often been through some incredibly challenging circumstances in their young lives.
I know about parenting. I have extensively studied the programs that are available and find Empowerment Parenting to be the most effective. There is no one thing that works with all children, which is the attraction of Empowerment Parenting. This is no cookie cutter mold. Empowerment Parenting treats every parent and every child as an individual.
If you have more than one child, I am certain that you already know, what works for one, may be completely ineffective with another. Empowerment Parenting provides an explanation for this. AND, BEST OF ALL, I can SHARE with you the information you need to maximize your effectiveness as a parent!
Empowerment Parenting is an exciting way to parent today's child. More punishment, control and coercion is NOT the answer, neither is abdicating control to your children!
We cannot continue to parent our children the way we did when they were younger children, or even the way our parents parented us. The world is different! Children are different! If we do not l
earn new innovations in parenting, our efforts will likely be ineffective at best, and actually destructive at their worst.
Buy this Teleseries and learn about the inherent conflict between parents and their children, as well as ways to circumvent it. You can reasonably insure your child’s safety and still maintain a positive relationship.
Once you learn the things you will need to know about yourself and your child in this Teleseries, you’ll realize that it isn’t so difficult, after all, to relate to your child, still stay the parent, and keep your child safe at the same time. Being the parent of a child doesn’t have to be burdened with frustration, conflict and worry. It can be fun, creative and relatively simple!
So, Take the First Step, It's Time to Stop Wishing YOU WERE GETTING ALONG BETTER
And Take Some Action Now!
