Lesson 2 of the Total Transformation Program

In lesson 2 of the Total Transformation Cd's James Lehman talks about something very important. He talks about how there are parents who when faced with a difficult child they keep parenting him like he is the model child. Why would a parent do this? This seems like a fruitless endeavor. And yet I've seen parents do it. Example: Let's say you have two kids, Jim and Janie. Both are to do their chores by dinnertime. Let's say Jim does his chores by dinnertime but Janie does not. She sits and watches TV. Why would you give extra time for Janie to do her chores? And what kind of example are you setting for Jim? Maybe he'll stop doing his chores by dinnertime since Janie got away with it. You shouldn't reward someone for not doing what they were supposed to do. What was Janie's reward? Extra time to do her chores.
