The short answer is, a lot less time that it takes for you to argue with, worry about, lecture, punish, and nag your teen. 

More specifically, the course contains 3 hours of total video but will grow by a few minutes each month with new lessons. And you can spend as much time as you like on the downloadable PDF exercises and guides but maybe average 30 minutes a week.

If you want to attend the weekly meet-up (and there's no requirement to do that), that's another hour a week.

Then you could allow another hour per month for the expert Q & A.

Perhaps a few minutes a week in the community...

So, that probably averages out to about 2 to 2 and a half hours per week if you do the course over a period of 3 months. So, about 6 to 8 hours a month.

But again, if you consider where you are right now (and where things could go) you likely spend hours and hours a week bogged down in arguments, etc. It feels like a win to join Parent Camp doesn't it?!

I'm a member of many of these Facebook groups and to be blunt, the advice being given in many instances (if not most) is just flat out wrong and even dangerous or abusive at times. If getting parenting advice from random strangers online was working for you, you wouldn't be here reading this right now. Simply put: you need research-based (science-backed)  information and advice plus a community of like-minded parents working towards the same kind but firm parenting goals, and, most importantly, strong expert leadership that an help you when you get stuck (which will happen.)

Absolutely. The weekly Meet-ups will be scheduled on a rotating basis at 4 different times based on the US Central time zone (10 am, 6 pm, 12 noon, and 9 pm.) and will be recorded and posted so you can watch them anytime. Someone else may have asked the very questions you have.

Additionally, you can post in the community any time of day or night and get an answer as soon as someone sees it. 

You can access the course and downloads anytime of the day or night so you can do them at your convenience.

And the monthly expert Q & As will be recorded and posted so you can watch them at any time of the day or night.  

I'm not going to lie - that's a really difficult situation. My husband and I didn't see eye-to-eye when my son was a teenager and it was awful (to say the least.)

First, I would say it depends on what you've tried. If you haven't yet approached him or her, I would ask to have a conversation away from the kids if possible (even take a date night to discuss.) If things have not been going well with your teen's behavior or with conflict in the home, then let your partner know that you don't see how things can go on the same way they've been. Use "I statements", don't blame them or use any specific incidences to make your argument. Tell them you've listened to the podcast or read some of the guides and you're convinced there is a way to parent your teen that will yield better results for them and for the family as a whole. Try to get them to listen to episode 57 of the podcast. Tell them you know they want what's best for your kids and that you'd like for them to at least give it 90 days to go all in and see what happens. If you can get them to agree to just give it their best shot for 90 days, I can assure you they will begin to see a major difference within just weeks. Once they see the difference it can make, they'll be 100% on board. But even if they will not agree, just know that research has shown that just having one parent who uses more of the methods we focus on, will make a difference in that kid's life. 

If you have an ex that is not on board, or you're not on speaking terms, then I urge you to listen to episode 5 of the Speaking of Teens podcast first. And if talking to them face-to-face is just not an option, perhaps writing them a letter will help. Plead your case by starting out by saying you know they want to do what's best for your teen and that you'd really like to work with them as a team to try something new. But even if they will not agree, just know that research has shown that just having one parent who uses more of the methods we focus on, will make a difference in that kid's life.

I hear you. I understand the hesitance of spending money and not knowing if you're actually going to see results. Our family spent a lot of money before finally figuring out we were looking in the wrong direction for solutions.  

Learning how to parent your teenager now (and perhaps younger kids coming up right behind them) is beyond cost-effective when compared to the financial and emotional cost of getting it wrong. 

I KNOW these parenting strategies and tactics work because they worked for me and my family and they've worked for other parents.

I've spent thousands of hours studying the science and distilling it all into something easy to digest and implement. When you combine that with community, weekly support plus more expertise on top - you can't afford not to do it if you want to parent your teen successfully.  

If you purchase a monthly membership and once you're in and have a look around and you don't like what you see, I'll refund your money if you contact me at [email protected] within 5 days of your purchase. And, you can always cancel your membership any time and receive a pro-rated refund, on a yearly or monthly membership. Again, contact me and I'll help you.

No, they don't. When you register, you can email me at [email protected] and give me their name and email address and I'll set them up as a member as well.

I understand how there could be some concern about privacy when divulging information or asking questions regarding your teen or tween. While it's unlikely you would know someone in the membership, it's of course a possibility and I want to make you comfortable. Although there is not a way inside of the community feature to post anonymously, you can either submit questions directly to me and I can post for you in the community or you could register for Parent Camp under an assumed name (an alias). Of course, if you were to participate in the weekly or monthly meet-ups on camera, someone could always recognize you. So, for sensitive topics/questions, I would recommend turning your camera off and you can submit your question anonymously or just ask that your name not be used. I'll do everything in my power to help you keep any issue/question you want, private.
