Frequently Asked Questions… and Answers
Over 20 years as a parent educator, Vicki has gotten her fair share of questions about the Parenting On Track™ program. Here are few critical FAQs to help you better understand what it’s all about.
What makes Parenting On Track™ different from other parenting programs?
Many of the parenting programs available today rely on discipline strategies to “get rid of” children’s misbehavior or to “get” children to behave differently. Parenting On Track™ is unique in that it focuses on identifying, solving, and preventing problems instead of merely eliminating the symptoms.
Our program is based on a timeless philosophy grounded in Adlerian Psychology. The strategies presented in our program help parents create lasting, mutually respectful parent-child relationships. Parents learn how to enjoy their children when they are young while supporting and guiding them toward independence.
Will I get results right away?
The Parenting On Track™ Home Program gives you all the tools you’ll need to start making positive changes from day one. Every individual parent and family is, of course, different and will experience change at different rates depending on their unique goals.
Is this an easy program?
Since each individual and each family is different, some will find it easier than others. The fundamental principles of the program should already be familiar to you – respect, responsibility, independence, love, compassion, and enthusiasm – so you already have a head start!
Since there are no new-fangled concepts to tackle, much of the program is about discovering what combinations of strategies and techniques work best for your unique preferences, values, beliefs, interests and family dynamics.
Will I have to get a different program as my family grows?
Robust and adaptable, Parenting On Track™ strategies continue to give you what you need even as the dynamic of your family changes.
Since this program focuses not only on improving family relationships while your children are at home, but also prepares your children to thrive as responsible, independent adults once they leave your home, applying the principles during the teen years can be especially fruitful.
Will this work with “blended” families?
Parenting On Track™ empowers you to parent from your best whether you are single, married, divorced, or part of a blended family.
