The Basic T.I.P.S. Home Study Program Involves:

1. Reading The Parent's Toolshop® Jump Start Guide Ebook

The Parent’s Toolshop® Jump Start Guide e-book is the fastest resource for learning the basics of the Universal Blueprint Parenting Success System: the three questions to answer to get on the best path to a solution, the five steps to take in your effective response, and the best five tools to use in that response.

It's a quick read, but gives you the basics that you need. It also includes a supplemental Action Guide, with links to additional resources, practice exercises, and examples.

The Jump Start Guide is invaluable. I can't believe it has the Universal Blueprint® all on one page! Seriously, it's like how to parent is on one page! When you are a parent, you barely have time to read. So to have these very concise, but very effective, packages was super-helpful. I could read each chapter in about 15 to 30 minutes tops, which can fit in my schedule. It was nice to just get to the heart of the matter, with a story and an illustrated point. It was very effective. Yet each section is like a pearl that you can dive into more, if you want to. You just go to the Action Guide that has links to more information, including the original advanced book. --- Anjali Brannon

2. Listening to the Lunch & Learn Audio Series

Listening to the Lunch & Learn Audio Series. (A $147 value.) This 10-audio series offers an hour-long audio recording of each live Parents Toolshop® class presentation. It’s like being a fly on the wall in a live Parent’s Toolshop® class, where you can benefit from the class discussions and parents Q&A. Best of all, it highlights for you the most important tools in the Universal Blueprint® to know and use.

This Audio Series is a valuable companion to The Parent's Toolshop® book, both of which I turn to again and again as I work towards a balanced parenting style and effective communication with my family. I play the lectures while I walk, drive, cook, clean, or nurse -- anytime I need to review, reinforce, and clarify what I'm learning in the book. On difficult days, I take a little pressure off by listening to the talks. Then I can return, relaxed and confident, to my family. It's like a mini parenting retreat. For anyone new to The Parent's Toolshop®, these talks make a helpful introduction to the key concepts. I don't think I will ever finish listening to them, just like I won't finish the book, even though I may have read every word twice. I hear and read something different every time, depending on the challenges I'm facing at home. --- Andrea Bustos
