Do you have an angry kid?  Is one or more of your children a challenge to raise?  While I don’t think that I have completely unmanageable children, they are quite a challenge and yes at times I feel like I am at the end of  my rope!   Multiple time outs have become a daily occurrence in this house and I must confess that I have felt beaten down and depressed over the behavior that is displayed in this house.  I was very happy when Legacy Publishing Company contacted me and asked me if I would be willing to try “The Total Transformation Program” by James Lehman and to discuss it here on Because Mom Said So.  What is even more wonderful is that when I asked them to send a second set of the program to give away to a reader/fan of Because Mom Said So, they were very happy to send it along to me.  The Legacy Publishing Company is a fantastic company that offers  personal development products and services for families.  The company’s mission is to provide ideas that improve lives–and judging from this particular program (The Total Transformation) they do just that.  I want to personally thank  The Legacy Publishing Company and my contact at Legacy Publishing Nathan O’Leary for finding Because Mom Said So and for arming me with some very necessary new discipline tools that I can use with my children and for giving me a second program set to offer to a reader/fan.

     So who is James Lehman and why should you listen to his program?  James Lehman is one of America’s leading behavioral therapists and for good reason–he gets results!   The Total Transformation program will give you access to the tools he teaches to his own patients in his practice.  Parents who are at a complete loss for how to deal with their troubled children and teens wait for months for an appointment with James Lehman with the hopes that he will help them work through their child’s behavior problems child behavior problems  they are having within their families.  The Total Transformation program makes it possible for all of us to access these tools and begin changing the dynamics within our own families. 

 What Do I Think Of The Program?

I LOVE IT!   I have used Lehman’s techniques and I have noticed a difference in my kids… not huge, but they are starting to bend with me rather than resist me.  Why not a huge difference?  Probably because it has only been about two weeks since I incorporated the techniques.  I am very hopeful that my boys are on their way to more positive behavior.  I don’t intend to stop using these techniques –this family is too important to me and I don’t intend to abandon something that will make us better.

How I Am Using this Program Myself: 

I confess that I got the program about a month ago but didn’t use it right away because I really wanted to be able to sit down and concentrate on it without having to worry about work and having to be interrupted by the kids.  So I waited until Christmas vacation to listen to the cd.  The funniest thing is I didn’t really open it until my 4 year old had a complete melt down that lasted what seemed to me a half hour and ended in him eventually crying himself to sleep because he was so mad at me for not giving him his way.  Exhausted, frustrated, and yes crying because I had had ENOUGH of these melt downs I grabbed the program and tore into it immediately.  I listened while he slept (my other son was with his grandma) and really just concentrated on every word that came out of James Lehman’s mouth.  He said to listen to one cd a week and apply it that way… but I cheated–I listened to 4 that day.  I didn’t know when I would have time again to absorb it all without being interrupted.  The time I spent that day was very valuable.  I learned a lot from him.  I began utilizing his tools that night and will forever more be a James Lehman follower and fan.  I have been listening to the cd’s and RE-LISTENING to them in my car as I drive to work after dropping off the kids at school and as I  wait for the kids to come out of school each day.  The more I listen, the more I get out of it; there is usually something that I realized I missed the first time or something that maybe I didn’t think applied to me but that I realize I can utilize with the behaviors in my pre-k classroom.   By the way—My pre-k class is on it’s way to becoming a new class too.  I am using James’s techniques in my classroom too.   They are working like a charm–even with the more difficult children.  It really is wonderful.   

Some important things I learned:

1.  I am not alone!  There are many parents who are dealing with the same thing.

2.  There is an End in sight–a light at the end of the tunnel.

3.  If I stick with this program, my family will continue to grow into a respectful, harmonious family.  NOT PERFECT-but definitely a lot closer to that ideal.
