#28: Parenting Principles Preview

Parenting is hard! When difficult behaviors wreak havoc on the family, sometimes you just need a few more tools in the toolbox. Finding the core principles that govern success in any area of life is absolutely key to succeeding in that area, and what you'll find on this podcast is no exception. This entertaining episode will not only help the parents who have small children, but also those with teenagers. It describes the system that I used for many years as we raised our seven children, and it made ALL the difference! My guest Matt Reichmann and his wife Julie raised five children while he worked in Los Angeles law enforcement. He saw countless parents lose control of their children and then look to police for help. This negative trend spurred a desire in Matt to use his experience to make a difference. The combination of Julie's home skills and Matt's law enforcement experience gave them a unique perspective in the art of parenting. Over the years, they developed a powerful system of discipline based on the principle of personal accountability. After using the system in their home with great success, they were encouraged by friends and associates to share their parenting techniques with others. This encouragement and a strong desire to help others lead to the creation of Accountability Concepts. This audio was originally recorded in 2007. I have been wanting to share it on my podcast, but his sweet wife (my dear friend Julie) was diagnosed with cancer and then lost her courageous battle in 2014. During those difficult years, their website was shut down, their business was put on hold, and the audio remained hidden in my archives. But it is my pleasure now to announce that Matt's website is once again back on line, and he has given me the green light to finally share this audio FREE with you now.
