My Name is Mark Holbrook, and I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and a parent. In my spare time I teach undergraduate psychology courses and conduct research I am a former police officer and I was the Executive Director of an agency that operated large residential facilities for neglected and abused children and teenagers wrote A Parenting Guide™ in order to help conscientious parents avoid making mistakes with their children which could have life-long ramifications have seen too many youth "go bad" because their parents lacked the resources to help them.

Did the hospital hand you a "How to" manual when your baby was born ? If your baby did not come with a Technical Support manual nor a Toll Free telephone number for Technical Support then A Parenting Guide™ is the next best thing !

This is the information that all parents SHOULD have been given before they left the hospital with their new born baby.

Do you feel like a bad parent ? Parenting is a VERY difficult job and you should not be expected to know everything about how to be successful.

It takes professionals like me, who have years of formal education and experience, to learn these parenting practices. Do not let society shame you because your child misbehaves or it has taken too long to "potty" train them.

It may be that all you need is some gentle guidance in how to adjust your parenting style to better fit your child's unique personality. This guide will help you do that.

Do you wish you could always make the right decision in how to handle your child ? Fortunately you don't need to do everything perfectly all of the time, every time. What you should strive for is doing the best you are capable of doing, given the circumstances of your life, as often as you can.

Do you feel like you have a bad child? It is highly unlikely that you have the devil incarnate there so lets get things turned around now. Your child's behavior has meaning far beyond the annoyance or concern that it causes you. I can help you decipher the deeper meanings of their behavior so that you can address the root cause of the issue.

· Temper Tantrums

· Problems Potty Training

· School Refusal

· A Fear of the Dark

· Adolescent Emotional Storms

Is your life more of a challenge now with a child to care for ? Life is too difficult without feeling inadequate as a parent and society has a way of making parents feel deficient. Parents are made to feel like they are at fault ! Well stop blaming the school system and stop blaming yourself, it is time to make some changes.

Do you want to stop the blame game now and get on the right track with your children? Once you learn these simple and easy - to - learn parenting techniques you and your whole family will be happier and healthier!

Do you know what makes your child unique? I wrote A Parenting Guide™ to help parents like you! You will gain the insight into your children that you need to help you work smarter and not harder at being an effective parent.

Is your only frame of reference your own parents? We are all both victims and benefactors of our parents. Much of what you learned about being a parent came from having been a child and watching what your parents did to you.

Well, some of what they did was good parenting, some of it was okay parenting and some of it was just misguided or even worse, negligent and abusive. Concerned parents like you want to avoid repeating the mistakes your parents made and create a better life for your own children.

Maybe your parents were not so good? No need to throw the baby out with the bath water as they say. Let A Parenting Guide™ help you understand what you are already doing correctly and guide you towards more consistent, more positive, and most importantly, more effective parenting skills.

Life can be very complicated! Let this guide help take the mystery out of being a good parent.

Just some of what you will learn:

Here is my philosophy regarding children and counseling: I encourage the use of psychotropic medication only as a LAST resort. Medications are prescribed all too quickly today and I believe that much of the behavioral problems physicians are trying to medicate away can be mediated, and in most cases, can be eliminated entirely, through parent support and education.

I believe in your strength and insight as a parent. I believe in you the parent! I believe that with a little of the right information and guidance you can help your child and change the world.
