Mission Statement

"To teach parents how
to create a family
environment where all
members are
supported in reaching
their highest potential"
Children are beautiful jewels that have been entrusted to our care.
We have a choice to polish these jewels to their natural brilliance,
or to dim them.
Breakthrough Parenting has been proven over more than 25 years to
help parents raise such bright, cooperative, and happy children.
"What if..."

What if we had
unconditional love in
our families, and
knew that we would
not be badly treated if
we made a mistake...
Then there would be
abundant love and
little fear.

What if we noticed
each other and
showed appreciation
with "Catch Them
Being Good"... Then
we would all be more
likely to have a
positive mental
attitude.

What if we embraced
diversity and nobody
expected us to
conform to a single
belief system... Then
we would be free to
express our
individuality.

What if mistakes
were seen as healthy
growing
experiences... Then
we would take more
risks and enjoy
experimenting with
new ideas.

What if we
maintained a spirit of
adventure and
accepted change as
natural and
desirable... Then we
would be more
comfortable with
ambiguity and
allowing things to
flow and change
around us.

What if we let go of
thinking like victims...
Then we would
accept personal
responsibility for our
thoughts, feelings
and behavior.

What if we used the
"Serenity Prayer" as a
guide, accepting what
we cannot change,
changing what we
can and asking for
the wisdom to know
the difference... Then
we would have peace.

What if we felt safe
enough to talk about
sensitive subjects
like sex, death,
disease, drugs and
crime... Then there
would be little
ignorance.

What if we listened
receptively to each
other... Then there
would be little
loneliness.

What if we were able
to express ourselves
with assertive
"I-statements"... Then
communication
would be better
received by others.

What if we treated
each other with
respect... Then more
of us would have high
self-esteem.

What if we
understood the
developmental
stages of children
and could promote
their advancement to
the next stage... Then
more people would
become
self-actualized.

The real-life examples in the Breakthrough Parenting Home Program come from
actual, real-life families in Breakthrough Parenting classes over the last 19 years.
Most of these were difficult cases, and quite a few families didn't even have the
support of both parents, either due to one parent being absent, or being present
but not cooperating.

The biggest challenges were often in cases of parental alienation, when one
parent was working hard to turn the children against the other parent. Numerous
such situations have been reversed with this very powerful and comprehensive
program.
