From people who really care

A message from Mac Bledsoe

Emilio Gallegos is the Assistant Principal of a school in Moreno Valley, California. He is a very dear friend of mine and has been involved with Parenting With Dignity for many years.  His is the voice behind the Spanish interpretation on our DVDs and he also translated our parents workbook. When we asked him if he would be interested in translating this website, he jumped at the opportunity even though I knew he already had many things on his plate.  The letter below is from Emilio.

Mac Bledsoe, President

Dear Parents,

I became a father at the young age of 20, and the very first time I set eyes on my son I knew that I wanted to be the best dad a son could have.  I immediately enrolled in child development courses and bought parenting books that talked about the awesome role of being a parent.  I wanted to be a different father than my own dad.  My dad was a great man, but worked many hours and had little time to spend with my brothers and me.  My dad was by my side, however, on one of the most important days of my life, my commencement ceremony at the University of Southern California.  It was here where my career as an educator took off.

Being in the field of education for 15 years, it has been my goal to bring practical and positive parenting tools to our parents and community.  In researching some parenting courses to implement, I came across Parenting with Dignity.  I immediately identified with this course due to the practical and down to earth approach in which it was introduced via VHS video cassettes.  The other thing that was of special interest to me was the Parent's Workbook.  This tool serves as an accountability manual for parents when implementing some of the many ideas Mac and Barbara Bledsoe teach in this program.

Parenting with Dignity is a program designed primarily to change the parent-child relationship in a positive and constructive way.  It deals with many of the root issues that make parenting so challenging.  To begin with, Mac Bledsoe defines the impact that ideas have in our children, and how once set in their minds, these ideas can bring about positive or negative consequences, depending on the idea itself.   Mr. & Mrs. Bledsoe also speak on the "language of love" and the messages that our children receive at home.  They provide parents with easy to use tools in sending strong messages of love through a myriad of ways, including: saying it, writing it, making it, playing...etc.  

One the most important aspects of Parenting with Dignity is the parent forum.  Through small group collaboration, parents share personal child rearing situations and brainstorm the implementations of the tools offered in the program.  This gives way to meaningful dialogue in order to learn a variety of constructive and productive techniques to deal with specific scenarios.  Some comments shared with us by parents include the following:

---

Parenting with Dignity is a non-profit organization whose ultimate goal is to reach every parent willing to learn a more positive approach to child rearing.  This is evident in the affordable cost of the course.  When other programs can run in the hundredths of dollars, Parenting with Dignity's cost is only $79.00 dollars for either VHS or DVDs.   This small cost, coupled with the Foundation's authorization to reproduce their material to further parenting skills in our society, make PWD a gift.   $79 dollars is a family investment that will bring about loads of positive and fruitful returns.  Unequivocally endorsed!
