Based on the latest recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics, 7 Steps to Reduce the Risk of SIDS shows how to dramatically lower an infant's risk using simple, important safety steps.

    With Renowned Parenting Consultant Ann Corwin, Ph.D., M.Ed.
    Here's a proven step-by-step tool that will help any parent handle toddler misbehavior with confidence and consistency. Developed by Ann Corwin, the S O L V E formula (for children ages 1-3) is a flexible problem-solving process that parents can apply to any number of behavioral issues.

    Toddler misbehavior often ends in parental frustration, anger, and even violence because parents have not had the opportunity to learn appropriate and effective skills. Now you can give parents five easy-to-remember steps (S O L V E) that guide them toward positive and peaceful solutions. In this DVD parents will see families successfully using the S O L V E formula in three common toddler challenges: temper tantrums, sharing, and toilet learning.

  • The Facilitator's Guide offers a convenient way to organize your class activities, including role-plays, interactive exercises, and more.

  • The Parent Workbook reinforces classroom learning and is designed for use with the video, as a pause sign prompts you to stop the tape and work on the accompanying exercises.

    With S O L V E You Are Equipped to Teach Parents:
  • How to respond to toddler problems calmly, positively, and effectively
  • Which behaviors are "normal" for their child's developmental stage
  • Skills for curtailing temper tantrums, hitting, and other common behaviors

    SLEEP LIKE A BABY: WHAT EVERY NEW PARENT NEEDS TO KNOW ABOUT BABIES & SLEEP

    A Good Discussion Starter for Early Sleep Issues

    Endorsed by the Coalition for Quality Children's Media

    Recent studies indicate that infant sleep is the number one concern of new parents. Chronic sleep deprivation is stressful, exhausting and affects every aspect of life, including health, work and relationships. This award-winning program helps parents resolve sleep issues with their baby and formulate a plan that's best for their family.

    Medical and sleep experts offer advice on the two most popular infant sleep methods, sleep training and co-sleeping, while parents share their own firsthand experiences. The program not only provides practical tools, but also deals with emotional issues, including safety concerns. All information is presented in a neutral forum, without advocating either sleep philosophy.
