Pre-school and Elementary age Children
For this age group, we recommend our Parenting e-book entitled: "Positive Parenting Using The G.O.L.D. Standard: Developing discipline without yelling, spanking, nagging, or time-outs!" Children can start this program as early as four or five and continue through about age thirteen.
