Comments from parents: Testimonials: “Positive parenting has really improved the quality of our relationship with our child. We spend more time enjoying our interactions rather than focusing on punishment and drama. Tom is a very enthusiastic teacher that truly believes in the material. We highly recommend the course for all parents.” Rod and Shelly M, parents of 2, ages 9 and a new born. (Livermore, CA)
“Our kids are much happier and closer. My teenager actually is giving me compliments back! He feels better about 
himself and more like doing things to contribute. All the children are happier and more helpful.”
“I liked the positive effect using the tools on my children (one in particular). My daughter said, ‘Mom, I’ve noticed a difference in the way you deal with us. It’s better!’ Thank you for the wonderful class.”
“This course has good practical info for parents. It really shows another way to reach your kids. It changes your whole approach to working with kids. Its great!”
“I now have the perspective to ‘win the war’ and not necessarily win every battle and that as parents we are actually still ‘doing something’ when we ignore junk behavior. Overall, this parenting approach makes happier parents and children.”
“I am now a much more patient parent and a much less reactive/stressed parent. I look more how I can teach and direct and spend less time reacting and ranting. I parent with a purpose. My children feel empowered by being more self governing. Our house is more peaceful because it is less coercive and confrontational. Thank you so much. The value of this information is incalculable.”
“As a parent, I feel calmer and more in control (of my own emotions/environment). My family is more peaceful, harmonious and cooperative. Thank you, over and over.”
"Working with Tom Dozier has given me the tools to change things for the better in my home. He is very knowledgeable and has shared lots of great ideas for helping my children improve their behavior. During our visits he is very encouraging and shows a genuine concern and interest in how things are progressing. Besides the fact that my eleven-year-old now starts doing his homework ON HIS OWN and my six-year-old no longer screams when I remind him to do his chores, I have more confidence as a parent and feel that happiness and love are increasing in my home. Thanks, Tom!"
"Quite honestly, with all the therapists, etc. that we have seen to help both our daughter and us, your guidance on interacting with her has been more helpful than anything." The mother of a very difficult "troubled" teenager, California.
"After the first Parenting Tools session, we set up a new program with our 7 year old strong-willed son, where he earns the privilege of playing with the neighbor girl by doing his homework and practicing piano. He was spitting nails the first day and didn’t do it, so he didn’t get the reward. The next morning before his mother awoke, he was playing the piano, voluntarily. He played for about 15 minutes and had the best practice session I think he’s ever had. He said he wanted to get it out of the way so he could play with Jessica when he got home from school. That was just short of a miracle." Raymond and Shanna L, parents of 3 (Oakland, CA)
“The Parenting Tools Course has made marvelous positive changes in the way we interact with one another in our family. Thank you for helping my family with these tools.” Greg and Diana B, parents of 2, ages 9-12 (Pleasanton, CA)
”Everybody is happy with the positive parenting. Everybody is having a good time. We started with just praising them whenever they did something good. The more we did that, the better they got. You could just see them beam. The more we praised them, the more they wanted to be praised. Now, the fighting has decreased. There is no more trouble getting them to go to bed on time, getting them up in the morning, getting dressed, and there are no big food issues like there was before. They are actually looking for ways to please and be helpful. Everything is so different now thanks to Parenting Tools and positive parenting.” Karen B., foster-mother of 2, ages 6-9 (Patterson, CA)
“I was brought up in a very strict environment. My mom died when I was very young. The only way my dad knew how to handle 7 children was to be very strict. So I was trying raise my daughter that way. Even my husband said I was too strict. I told myself that Parenting Tools is probably not going to work, but why not try it. I thought my daughter was a little monster, but when I started changing, I realized that I had created the monster. My daughter was not really like that. I started ignoring her whining, and praising her when she behaved good. I realized, it’s not my daughter, it’s me. Now, I’m a happier mommy. I have a happier daughter, a wonderful daughter, that doesn’t want anything except to please her mommy and daddy. Parenting Tools are a miracle. Thank you for changing my life.” Maru D., mother of 1, age 4 (Mantica, CA)
