I found an online course given at Utah State by Glenn Latham. I read his Christlike Parenting and was looking for his book Positive Parenting when I discovered it. Here is a link to the course material page.
I hope that some of you will read the course material so we can talk about it. This book/class teaches parenting skills; uplifting and postitive parenting, like Christ would want us to use. It uses behaivoral therapy as its basis. In a nutshell, Mr Latham teaches that if you are trying to fix your children then you probably need to look in the mirror first. You need to correct your parenting and love (accept) your children.
I want to change my parenting and really hope to incorporate this into my life. I read and toss, generally, but this I want to read and re-read and apply!

I'm constantly telling myself that I can't fix what my kids are doing but I can parent differently hoping they will respond/act differently. It's hard in the heat of the moment but it really does begin with me. I'm going to check this out...it sounds great!
Awesome! Thanks for the tip! We're taking a Love and Logic course and LOVE IT!!!! I think any skills we can gain will benefit our kids and they are definitely worth it!
