Youth/Parent Cognitive Lifeskills
for Home Study

Course Description: This researched and evidence-based course is equivalent to a 12-plus hour classroom course and is a powerful and unique cognitive lifeskills program.

This is the ultimate parenting workbook, because it focuses on the really deep issues behind parent/child conflicts and self-defeating thoughts and behaviors.

It is for all youth ages 12-18 and their parent(s). The youth's parent(s) or guardian acts as a “coach” and completes the workbook with their child.

The YPCL/HS workbook does not blame, but brings both together in an attitude of healing, hope and optimism. The YPCL/HS is a workbook that any child and parent could benefit from.

This course is designed to help parents and youth in their personal improvement, and it is particularly effective because it allows for open discussion and communication between parent and child. The cognitive lifeskills that are taught can be used in all aspects of life and include sections on anger management, underage drinking, tobacco use, parenting, validation, truancy, theft, drug possession, peer pressure, and communication.

This workbook is available in both English and Spanish versions.
