Cons The Believe and Achieve Series:
Our only quibbles were few:
1) First the title seems a little wishy-washy and implies a quick fix solution, but we all know that parenting isn’t a walk in the park!
2) While the talks are excellent, it does not drill down to deeper details or bigger crisis mode. The Believe and Achieve Series is perfect for those parents who are facing general teen problems. However it is not the first CD to grab if your teen is in severe crisis and needs major help.
The Bottom Line
Ultimately Alan Yips Believe and Achieve Series is full of helpful insights into the challenge of parenting older kids and teens.
Whether you live in a home where you’re constantly worrying about what is going to set your children off or just need some tips on goal setting, time and life management for your children, this is one CD series you want to have in your collection.
