Affordable Alternative to Therapy

We understand that not everyone can afford private therapy sessions in the current economy; that's why we've developed a new audio series entitled 'Motivating Your High-Maintenance and Difficult Child and Adolescent.'

In these presentations, Dr. Ray Levy introduces you to several techniques that can help you get a little more peace in your home and classroom. While not in lieu of therapy, these are proven tools that help parents and teachers manage their high-maintenance children more effectively.

The principles and techniques in this series are taught by Dr. Levy both in his private practice and in his workshops. We recommend that you listen to them in the order they are presented since that is the sequence Dr. Levy often uses in therapy sessions.

Each of these audio presentations is offered as an MP3 file, meaning you can download it directly to your MP3 player/handheld or to your computer for burning to a jump-drive or CD and listening in your car.

All but the first audio presentation come with an easily downloadable PDF handout that will help guide you through the key points.

The first session in this series is completely free, so go ahead and start the series by downloading Dr. Levy's presentation on ADHD children. You'll be glad you did.

Session 1: Introduction to Out-of-Control & ADHD Kids
(Free Audio Download)

What makes a child high maintenance? Why are some kids easier to discipline and raise than others? How come my ADHD child can play videos for hours but can't focus on his homework for 2 minutes?

These are some of the questions that Dr. Levy answers on this first, and free, download. Learn why ADHD is more of a problem with motivation than attention. This audio download also helps you develop the right mind set for how to deal effectively with your strong-willed child/adolescent.

Session 2: Get Your Child to Listen the First Time ($12.95 + tax)
Using a technique called 'Acknowledgments,' you'll get your child eager to listen while forming a better relationship..

"I tried praise but it just backfires!" ... "Why won't you listen to me?"

Trying to be positive with these children/adolescents can range from difficult to impossible. They misbehave at such a high rate that interactions with them often become toxic. You feel like all you do is nag; but why can't they just do what you ask for once?

When you try to be positive and supportive, your kids often feel that you are being fake and superficial; and they will disregard or block out what you say.

Dr. Levy will show you a simple technique that starts reversing your negative interactions with your high maintenance child and helps you get his/her attention the first time. Listen as Dr. Levy and Kelly talk about this simple technique called 'Acknowledgments.'

Session 3: A Positive Approach to Get Your Kid to Work for You! ($17.95 + tax)
What to do instead of reward charts.

Try this for one week. If after a week you don't notice significant behavior improvement (not perfect behavior mind you, but significant improvement) Dr. Levy will refund your money, no questions asked.

Dr. Levy hates reward charts, mostly because they don't work longer than 2-3 weeks. This new and innovative technique has a similar structure to a behavior chart but gets your child to work for your approval rather than a specific reward or privilege. You can use this technique forever, and it requires little effort once you get in the flow of it. Try it! Remember, there's a money back guarantee if it doesn't work.

Session 4: How to Use Time Out to Stop Misbehavior ($17.95 + tax)

"I've tried Time Out but it doesn't work for my child."

Dr. Levy has heard this statement thousands of times from frustrated parents. In this download, Dr. Levy and Kelly talk about how to make Time Out effective and when to use it. Complete with a handout for easy reference, Dr. Levy shows you how to make Time Out work for you and motivate your child to behave better.

Session 5: Want Improved Coping Skills at Home?
A new technique called "The Practice Academies" can be used at home.
($19.95 + tax)

Punishment rarely works for the out-of-control/high-maintenance child and adolescent. Instead, kids need to practice acting better. The Practice Academy does just that.

In this download, Dr. Levy and Kelly tell you how to apply this powerful technique with your defiant child/adolescent. You'll surely identify with some of the different behaviors and scenarios. Overall, there is no better technique than "The Practice Academies" for helping your kids develop better frustration tolerance and coping skills.

Session 6: Want Improved Coping Skills from Your Students?
A new technique called "The Practice Academies" can be used by teachers in the classroom
($19.95 + tax)

Punishment alone seldom works for out-of-control students. They just need to practice acting better. But how?

In this download, Dr. Levy and Kelly tell you how to apply this powerful technique at school with your defiant students. The Practice Academy is the best technique for teaching your most difficult pupils frustration tolerance and coping skills.
