Six years ago, Amy McCready saw this need and decided to help fill it -- and, according to a Jan. 25 newsobserver.com article, her efforts have garnered attention far beyond the Raleigh, N.C. area where she began:
Positive Parenting Solutions, founded by McCready in 2004, offers courses on how to correct children's misbehavior without nagging, reminding or yelling. Last year she started an online version and began to attract media attention, including being quoted in a New York Times article about parents who yell and scream too much.
"That really touched a nerve with people and boosted my visibility," she said. "All jobs come with a ton of training, but for the most important job we do, there's none. Parents are looking for tools and resources." ...
McCready and her husband/business partner now employ three instructors, all parents and former students. ...
The online course includes tips on how to handle back talk, whining, tantrums, sibling rivalry, bedtime battles and more without yelling or losing your temper.
Positive Parenting charges $199 for a year subscription, or lifetime access for $225. The cost includes one-on-one instruction and live help creating an action plan, she said.
