Q What problems does Honest Parenting help with?
The information that you will receive covers a wide range of issues. Here are some of the more common
problems that can be corrected:
Q How fast can I expect to see results?
Every family and every child are different, so results and speed of progress will vary. However, you should
begin to see a change in your child's or teen's responses the first day that you use Honest Parenting. He /
she will obviously be surprised with your new way of relating...your choice of words, and other things that I will
explain to you. So, expect some confusion on the part of your child or teen until they grow comfortable with
the "new plan."
Q What mental health diagnoses are covered by Honest Parenting?
Some of the more common diagnoses of children and teens with whom Honest Parenting will work are:
ADD (Attention deficit Disorder), ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), ODD (Oppositional
Defiant Disorder), Conduct Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, and Asperger's Syndrome.
However, I strongly urge you to do everything possible not to "label" your child or to allow a label to be
attached to him / her at school or in the community. This can devastate a person's self-esteem and give
them the idea that they are "sick" or "inferior." It's easy for a doctor to give a diagnosis, based on asking a
few questions and seeing your child for a short time...but a child with a diagnosis is STILL a child...a person.
If a child's diagnosis becomes the child's identity, or if others become aware of it, then your child will have
one more obstacle to overcome. The concepts in Honest Parenting are also useful with children who DON'T
have a mental health diagnosis, as well as with kids who have no significant behavioral issues.
If a child has moderate to severe autism or mental retardation (or an IQ below the 70-75 range), Honest
Parenting may not give you the progress that you're hoping for. This parenting style depends on the child
being capable of learning, and understanding some basic concepts. It's worth trying with these kids, but
please look for the smaller triumphs that you will need to recognize.
Q How old should my child be in order for Honest Parenting to be effective with him / her?
The general age range for Honest Parenting is 4-17, however, children as young as 2 or 3 can benefit from
it. This information is not only for parents of children with behavior and emotional issues, but for parents who
simply want their children to become happy, independent, responsible adults who are productive, well-
rounded, and good at solving problems.
Q What kinds of adults should use Honest Parenting?
Honest Parenting is a parenting style and way of relating, suitable for parents, grandparents, teachers,
principals, caretakers, childcare workers, social workers, psychologists, therapists, and psychiatrists. In
addition, we have been asked to write an adaptation of The Guide to Honest Parenting for employers to use
with their employees.
Q I'm a single parent...or I FEEL like one, because the other parent isn't on the "same page". Will
Honest Parenting help me?
Yes! The good news is that you will be making progress and developing your relationship with your child or
teen...with, or without the help of another parent. There is a chapter which deals specifically with this issue,
and of course, ongoing support is available to you.
Q Why should I listen to you?
Maybe you're wondering...OK...who is this guy, and why should I listen to him?
Is it just because I have a degree in Psychology?
Of course not! If I've learned one thing from researching other books and "programs," it's that a degree
doesn't make you smarter or any more correct. It just means that you have the time, money, and discipline to
study something. I do have a Psychology degree, but my knowledge of parenting comes not only from
college and books, but also from years of very successful experience as a therapist for children and
adolescents with mild to extremely severe behavioral and emotional problems, as well as years of being a
parent. If you consistently follow through with the information that I offer, your children will become more
mature, better adjusted and happier people, who will most likely THANK you for responding to them in this
way. I know...if you're reading this, then because of your current situation...that may sound IMPOSSIBLE,
right? But it CAN happen...for YOU!
I was also a parenting skills trainer and a substitute teacher, and have given presentations to teachers and
testified in court on many occasions (both on behalf of children who were in trouble, and in custody / DCS
issues). But what's important are not my training or background...it's how this information can help you!
Q Will this work with my child or teen?
Everything that I will tell you has been successful with many children, including 3 children that I have parented,
and will work with almost any child or adolescent, as long as you try! Exceptions would be a child or
adolescent who is moderately to severely autistic or who has an IQ in the moderate to severe mental
retardation range. What I will teach you requires that the parent(s) and child or adolescent can communicate
verbally with each other.
I've done your homework FOR you! I have read MANY books on parenting...many of which contain a lot of
"fluff," and few that have ANY of the information that I offer. So...save your bookshelf space and the money
that it would take to buy all of the "gimmick programs" that are being widely publicized. There is no such
thing as an "Instant Cure" or a "Quick Fix." Children don't develop behavioral and emotional issues
overnight, and they are not corrected overnight, either. Relationships are not destroyed overnight, and they
are not rebuilt overnight, either. If you have bought "programs" that make promises of instant results, or
books that have not offered you things that actually work...then THIS is your chance to throw out all of the
useless information that you've been given and try something that DOES work.
Please note...I bring this information to you as "a guy with knowledge, experience, and common sense." I am
not "practicing therapy" with you or your child. I am not a doctor. I am not selling advice. I am a person...and
so are you. This information can be used by "regular people," with no degree or prior training necessary. It
can be used by people who work in any profession, by people who are rich, poor, and everywhere in
between. It can be used by parents, grandparents, step-parents, foster parents, adoptive parents, teachers,
and principals. It is a way of relating, communicating, and responding that causes proper development in
many areas of a child's personality.
My information is pure and simple for almost anyone to use, but it takes time and effort on your part. The
results are MORE than worth the effort!
Q What do I get and how much does it cost?
First, let me tell you that I am not going to tease you with asking you to buy useless "fluff" and then lead you
into buying MORE stuff! I have NO respect for people who use games and tactics...especially in the name of
trying to HELP people.
Now...there is a LOT of information that I have to offer to you. It is written in such a way that it is easy to
understand, full of examples, and even FUN to read. I HAVE to break it down into the core essentials, which
you are buying, here...and several other, specific topics, not because I want to charge money for each one,
but because a person can only absorb so much without becoming overwhelmed. And...because not every
parent will want or need some of the situations and topics covered.
JUST SOME OF THE TOPICS IN THE GUIDE TO HONEST PARENTING...
SO...THE GUIDE TO HONEST PARENTING costs $49.95. I won't tell you that "This usually sells for
$299.95, but NOW, you can get it at a discount, for a limited time! "I'm not going to tell you how LOW the
price is for "priceless information that could change your life and the life of your child." The value should be
obvious, and I'm not trying to push this method on anyone. It's effective, helpful, and will be a breath of fresh
air to you and your family. I want the price to be fair, and you can probably tell by now that I don't manipulate
people. If you are one of those people who enjoys a "FREE BONUS," then you will be excited to know that...
I have a FREE monthly newsletter, which anyone who buys THE GUIDE TO HONEST PARENTING may sign
up for...and you can cancel, at any time. It contains valuable parenting tips, letters from other parents and my
answers to them, as well as information on specific parenting issues. This newsletter is part of your support
line.
THIS IS WHERE EVERYONE STARTS...
So...what you are buying is the basic groundwork for helping your child or adolescent to become a
cooperative, responsible person and for dealing with behavioral, emotional, and relational issues
appropriately. This will apply to families...no matter the age of the child or adolescent, and no matter how
mild or severe the issues.
Q How will I receive it?
IMMEDIATELY, and EASILY!
After checkout, you will be taken to a web page where THE GUIDE TO HONEST PARENTING will be made
available to you for IMMEDIATE download or by email, in your choice of PDF format, Microsoft Word (doc)
format, or Rich Text Format (rtf). You will receive a web link after your checkout that will allow you to open or
download and read it immediately. I will put it in file forms that every person with a computer can read it in.
You will receive the email address for support, after your checkout, and if you have any difficulty downloading
the eBook, I will email it to you as an attachment. You can print The Guide to Honest Parenting for your
own use.
Windows XP and most other versions of Windows, as well as Windows Vista should be compatible with all
of the above file formats. I believe that Macs should be, as well...at least newer ones. I will make sure that
you can get this information, if you buy it.
Download is IMMEDIATE...24 hours a day, 7 days a week! However, download time and email delivery
time may vary, depending on your computer equipment, Internet service provider...AOL, Comcast, NetZero,
Earthlink, etc., and email service. Please check your "junk" or "spam" folder if you don't see my email within
24 hours of your purchase. Sometimes, email systems misplace mail that you request, if you have not
marked the sender as "accepted," or "safe."
This is REALLY GOOD and IMPORTANT information and I want it to be available to EVERYONE. In fact, I'll
probably have it translated into other languages at some point. For now, THE GUIDE TO HONEST
PARENTING is available only in English. You may use a translation program, but I cannot be responsible if
the information is mistranslated.
Q How do I Pay?
Clickbank sells our products - they are a trusted online retailer specializing in digitally delivered products.

To buy now...
Q What if I have specific questions?
No problem. You will receive my support email address with your purchase and I will answer as many
questions as time permits in my newsletter. It comes out during the last 2-3 days of each month. Also, if your
question is urgent, I will do my best to answer it more quickly. When you purchase THE GUIDE TO HONEST
PARENTING, you can become a member of HONESTPARENTING.com for FREE, which will allow you to
purchase email or phone support, if you like.
I am genuinely interested in your success and happiness. I cannot guarantee any certain result or level of
improvement in your child's behavior or emotional state. This information will help you only if you implement it
properly and consistently. Every family's situation is different. However...I will provide you with the
information and support that you will need to mend wounds, build trust, and to help your child or adolescent
develop emotionally and use age-appropriate behaviors and positive choices.
Now...I've told you as much as I can, without getting into the material. Here's the next step to helping your
child or adolescent and yourself...
READY... SET... GO! OK...NOW, you can GET STARTED!
