My review of The Total Transformation Program

When the folks at Parent Bloggers Network offered me a chance to review James Lehman’s Total Transformation Program I leapt at the chance. I had heard his 30-minute infomercial on the radio and thought it sounded interesting.

The Total Transformation® Program was created by behavioral therapist James Lehman to offer parents practical, real world solutions for children who are defiant, disrespectful, who lie and curse at their parents, act out in school, and so on.

My kids are pretty good kids. In fact, Nathan and Lucie are fairly well behaved for other people and most of the time for us. However, Nathan has several problems that I refer to as “lacking a moral compass.” He lies, he’s totally unmotivated about school and doing anything around the house. He’s forever bothering his sister just because he has nothing else better to do. He's overly self-centered and only cares about being entertained. When he does do something, whether it’s cleaning his room, picking berries in the yard, or his homework, it’s always done in what my husband and I call a “half-assed production.” If there’s a shortcut or minimal way to do something, Nathan will do it that way. Finally, he’s disrespectful at times and lacks focus.

The Total Transformation Program couldn’t have come at a better time. We’ve been having a tough time with Nathan already this year at school. He zooms through his school work, and turns in sloppy, half done work. His teacher knows he’s smart enough to do the work, but wonders if he should be put in a lower class for language arts. We think it’s focus, motivation and a work ethic issue.

laughter is good for the stay at home soul: Best of Comedy Central II uncensored

Now that the kids are at school all day, I like to watch movies while I take a break from the computer and do household chores like folding laundry. But this week I’ve been sick, too, so it’s nice to have a video to watch instead of re-watching Ice Road Truckers or The Real Housewives for the millionth time.

I’ve been enjoying The Best of Comedy Central Presents II that Click-comm.com sent me to review. Paramount Home Entertainment and Comedy Central just released this very funny video. This is something that you want to watch when the kids are NOT around as it’s definitely not for kids – sex references, drug jokes, dirty language, and the rest of that good grown up stuff.

The Best of Comedy Central Presents II features an assortment of hilarious comedians including Dave Attell (Insominac With Dave Attell – loved that show!) , Frank Caliendo (Mad TV), Patton Oswalt (Reno 911!) and many more.

If you’re like me, you’re too tired to stay up and watch these guys on Comedy Central. So get the kids to school, load the DVD player, and enjoy!

Hypocrisy so thick you can cut it with a knife

Jon Stewart is a genius.
