This is information that every parent needs now...

I have been a psychologist for 20 years, and in that time I have watched parenting become a rapidly increasing challenge for parents. Especially with the explosion of the Internet and electronic devices, children are bombarded all day with messages that their parents are not aware of. But parents still have to raise children to be happy and responsible in a world that is powerfully distracting them from that path.


What can we do? I can’t recommend highly enough the Ridiculously Effective Parenting Training by Greg Baer. You’ll begin with 45 hours of video training, followed by the most extensive follow-up I’ve ever seen. Your children are worth it. They need you to be on top of loving them and teaching them the essentials of a happy life. This is information that every parent needs—right now.

Like a lighthouse in a raging storm...

I have read a lot of books, listened to a lot of people and gone through a ton of trial and error experiences in my life, as I have tried to gain knowledge and wisdom. But in the case of my son, I was lucky enough to realize and admit to myself, that I did not have enough experience or knowledge to overcome my latest challenge. Our family was having a crisis at home. If I didn't do something quickly, we risked losing our son. Literally. There was no room or time for trial and error when it came to our little boy (6'4", 250lbs).


So I turned to the Internet. And like a lighthouse in a raging storm, Greg's Real Love Parenting website came shining through the whipping rain and turbulent seas. I signed up to watch his free videos and within what seemed like mere minutes, I had a personal email from him. He radiated warmth, love, and caring in a way that I've never felt through a simple digital interaction with anyone else in so short a time span.

  • The key to parenting is YOU being loving, and YOU being consistent. Real Love defined.

  • How you can feel loved, be loving, responsible = happiness
CHAPTER ONE: 5 hours, 35 minutes

The Need for Real Love, and Living Without It

  • You don’t know how to love your children unconditionally because you were not taught how.
  • Learning how to parent is the most important job in the world, and quite a journey. Let's get started.
  • The most powerful and lasting experiences of life are during early childhood. That applies to you, too.
  • Example of mother, Amanda, responding to two arguing children.
  • You’re missing the root source of all childhood problems.
  • You must interpret what children need from their behavior, not words—drowning metaphor.

How To Find Real Love

  • You have to find love before giving it, and we can’t love ourselves.
  • You were TAUGHT who you are and how the world is, and often it was wrong.
  • You were loved less when you didn’t behave in ways other people didn’t like.
  • You MUST find love, and learn how to receive it and love others unconditionally: (1) Original unlovable message was wrong; (2) remember times you have felt loved; (3) remember a divine love; (4) I love you; (5) find love from others.
  • Truth-seen-accepted-loved
  • Where do you find love? (1) Usually not present friends; (2) rarely family; (3) never children; (4) from others.

How We Behave without Real Love

  • It is unavoidable that your children suffer as you parent without Real Love.
  • Your inability to parent with Real Love is NOT your fault.
  • But it is your responsibility to change what you do now with what you learn.
  • You can learn to understand the meaning of your children’s behavior, and as you see their pain, your impatience and anger transform into compassion.
  • Lack of love leads to pain, which demonstrates as emptiness and fear, and then follow all the Getting and Protecting Behaviors, which combine to explain all your children’s behaviors.
  • Children use Getting and Protecting Behaviors to find the Imitation Love that replaces Real Love. They MUST medicate their pain.
  • Whining and anger show the relationship between pain, Getting and Protecting Behaviors, and Imitation Love.
  • By finding Real Love, and changing the judgments in your life, you can eliminate the Getting and Protecting Behaviors that plague you and your children.

The Cause of All Unhappy Behaviors

  • All childhood problems are rooted in pain, and then they respond predictably.
