The education system is broken. Youth violence is on the rise, and it can’t be fixed with reform or with new legislation. The key to fixing the problem lies with the parent. In this episode, Dr. Thompson explains the role parents play in their child’s education, by teaching them the social skills that are conducive to learning.

Relationship Management: The Role of the Parent

The education system is failing simply because the parents are failing. Dr. Thompson explains why children need to learn relational etiquette and protocol at home, which in turn, will reduce youth violence and bullying.

Relationship Management: Recognizing Violent Behavior

Dr. Thompson discusses how to recognize violent tendencies in young children so they don’t develop into worse behavior as an adolescent or a teen. Starting young is the key, as is cultivating an appetite for information within your child.

Relationship Management: It Starts With You

Parents – you are living in denial. Dr. Thompson explains why you must teach your children by example; you can’t expect them to not be a thug, if you act like a thug. And you can’t expect them to do homework if you don’t have the education yourself to help them with it.
