In this episode, I interview board certified coach, Phil Lynn, about his ideas on parenting. Phil has some training and had studied William Glasser's Choice Theory psychology, so if you recognize some Choice Theory in this interview, don't be surprised. Phil and I discuss how to "get" your kids to obey you, dealing with sibling rivalry, how to keep your kids from "misbehaving," developing win/win/win solutions when you and your kids are in conflict and how and why to establish your own parental boundaries. If you are interested in speaking with him or attending one of his parenting workshops, see his website at www.phillynn.com or www.thetreasgroup.com.
