Episode 113 Guests Bonnie and Thomas Liotta on STOP Managing Behaviour: Teach Lifeskills Instead #parenting
from The Masterful Parenting Podcast - Heal Your Childhood and Parent Better Through Relational Parenting · host Anne Alvares - Parent Coach for the Masterful Parenting Program
Bonnie and Thomas Liotta didn't just study parenting - they lived the transformation. When Bonnie met Thomas in 2011, she was a single mother whose children had behavioral diagnoses. Within six months of implementing his methodology, her home was completely transformed. Now married and co-founders of Creating Champions For Life, they've helped thousands of children and more than 300 families who report a 90% behavioral transformation rate and 78% medication elimination rate. Their controversial approach? Stop managing behavior and start teaching life skills. With over 60 years of combined experience - including two child development degrees, an award-winning after-school program, and record-breaking business leadership - the Liottas challenge the conventional punishment-based parenting model. They specifically help families whose children have been diagnosed with ODD, DMDD, and ADHD discover that these behaviors can be transformed without medication or harsh punishment. ********************************************************************************************** For those of you who don’t know me, I’m Anne Alvares. I came from childhood pain. I suffered abuse, controlling parents, and was parentified. My healing journey began almost 30 years ago when I first told my story. When I became a mother, I was determined to heal and not repeat the patterns of my childhood in my own parenting with my children. Now, I teach parents how to foster healthy relationships with their kids. When we uncover our childhood story and become aware of our triggers, we can begin to heal and change. When we do this, our children thrive and we can feel good about our parenting. Let me help you to heal and to change. Reach out for support at [email protected]. Free 30 minute helping call.
