My Philosophy

"I have worked with children and teens in youth centers, on street corners, in group homes, with foster families, and in my private practice. I seldom believed any of them were truly pathological. Most were just troubled kids who had a long list of learned misbehaviors.

In my heart I believe that "there are no bad children, only misbehaving children." If you study a child, you can find their strengths and help them overcome their shortcomings. I encourage parents to "be optimistic" and look beyond a child’s oppositional defiance to discover their positive intentions.

I stress that parents must agree upon a set of disciplinary guidelines for responding to misbehaviors."

(Quoted from the 64-page Handbook that explains how to use the Smiley System and answers 21 frequently asked questions for parents.)
