You say your children and teens are controlling you, and your spouse thinks you’re ALWAYS wrong?
Here’s the GOOD NEWS!
You CAN change things—you can change it ALL!
Dr. Larry Waldman, one of the leading relationship authorities in the United States, for the FIRST TIME EVER has instructed me to make his timeless relationship classics:
WHO’S RAISING WHOM?
Coping with your Adolescent
and
How come I love him but can’t live with him?
available to you in downloadable eBook format in one, low-cost bundled package.
But ONLY if you are sincerely interested in becoming a more effective parent to your young children and teens, and also in learning how to keep the sizzle in the relationship with your mate.
23,000 families have shown they want more loving and happy families!
You might not have even heard about Dr. Waldman’s child-raising classic WHO’S RAISING WHOM? even though 23,000 copies of the trade paperback edition of this book have been sold.

Dr. Waldman |

Until now, Dr. Waldman, psychologist, prolific author and dynamic public speaker, has made his books available mostly through his seminars to parents who have attended his meetings concerned, some deeply troubled, by their family and home life. These parents have improved the quality of their home and family life by learning Dr. Waldman’s methods, and putting what they have learned into action.
After over three decades of being happily married to his wife Nan, and having counseled thousands of parents – married, single, divorced, and step – Dr. Waldman reveals that he wrote WHO’S RAISING WHOM? after time after time hearing comments like:
“I feel like my children are raising me, instead of the other way around.”
“I feel like they stay awake at night, dreaming up more ways to drive me up the wall.”
Do you or have you ever felt this way?
You are in the minority if you haven’t.
When Dr. Waldman repeatedly heard his clients with teenagers say, “I feel like he’s/she’s an alien living in my house” and similar comments, he knew he needed to write Coping with your Adolescent. Some of his colleagues thought he was crazy for even tackling this subject.
Especially during the last twenty years he has done marital counseling with many hundreds of couples. When one frazzled wife asked him, “How come I love him but can’t live with him?” Dr. Waldman realized there was a need for a clear-cut blueprint to show couples how to make their marriage better.
By the way, if you’re wondering who is writing what you are reading on this web page, my name is Jim Dobkins, and I’m Dr. Waldman’s publisher. Before I get into what is covered in these three eBooks, I want to invite you to sign up for Dr. Waldman’s newsletter Ask Dr. Waldman.
He knows that he can help many thousands of additional parents and couples by answering questions biweekly in an e-zine format. He will select three questions to answer in each issue of Ask Dr. Waldman.
Please list your first name and e-mail address in the following OPT-IN box, and make sure you subscribe to this FREE biweekly e-zine. After you receive the thank you e-mail for subscribing to Ask Dr. Waldman the next e-mail you receive will invite you to ask a question about any of these three topics:
Raising children
Coping with teens
Making your marriage work better
(But remember, Dr. Waldman will select only three questions to answer in each issue of Ask Dr. Waldman.)

Yes! I want to receive Dr. Waldman's biweekly newsletter for parents Ask Dr. Waldman
(We will never sell or share your personal information with anyone.)

Who can benefit from these books? Frankly, anyone who is a parent of children and/or teens, and is married or thinking of getting married, or just starting to think about having children can benefit from these books. |
|
What if I only want one or two of the three books?
I’ve made arrangements with Dr. Waldman so you can have this option. I will tell you how to do this later on this web page.
How much is this package going to cost me?
$39 for now. We were advised to charge at least $49, which would still be a great bargain.
How good of a bargain are you talking about?
Well, let’s consider WHO’S RAISING WHOM? for example.
Having this book is the next best thing to going through eight weekly counseling sessions with Dr. Waldman. This 163-page book contains the same valuable how to information that he discusses with parents in eight, weekly, 50-minute sessions at a cost of $125 per session.
That’s $1,000 worth of counseling, which you have access to for a fraction of what you’d pay to personally go through counseling sessions with Dr. Waldman. And with the demand to personally get counseling from Dr. Waldman, you’d have to go on a waiting list, possibly a LONG waiting list.
Multiply the $1,000 by three and you’ll see that it would cost you $3,000 to go through eight counseling sessions RE all three levels of relationships:
Parent to Child
Parent to Teen
Mate to Mate
What people say
Before we get into what each book covers, here are some comments from people that have hosted one or more of Dr. Waldman’s seminars:
"Wonderful! Informative! Educational! These are just a few of the many positive comments received from your presentation on "Understanding the ADD child"…This was without a doubt the best and most successful presentation of this type that Charter Vista has ever provided." - Lucinda Debruce (Charter Vista Hospital, Arkansas)
"As a seminar presenter, Dr. Waldman has consistently been one of our most popular speakers…His topics have broad appeal and are based on a wealth of experience and knowledge." - Cleo Burke (Charter Behavioral Health System of Arizona/Glendale)
"Larry conveys the type of image I want to project -- articulate, personable, straightforward, clean, and a family man." - Jeanne Ross (Marketing Director, Charter Hospital of Glendale)
"Well, you've done it again! The positive response from your recent workshops here in Reno continues to pour in. Not often do we have the opportunity to sponsor an event that not only is sold out, but has a waiting list for the next time the workshop 'might' be offered." - Cathy Clayton (HCA Truckee Meadows Mental Health Services, Nevada)
"…many, many people responded that they enjoyed your humor, your personality, your method of presenting, and the stories and real-life examples that you used…we've never had 250 or so people attend one of our events before!" - Cindy Raymond (Charter Lake Charles, Louisiana)

| Who's Raising Whom? |
|
|
|
Are you frazzled at times by your relationship with your children? Do you feel like they’re in control instead of you? Dr. Waldman has encouragement for you: “Let me assure you that there is hope. But let me also caution you that good parenting requires learning. Which is what WHO’S RAISING WHOM? is all about. The knowledge and the tools to help you become a more effective parent are within these pages. It is up to you to put to use what you learn.” What I believe that sets Dr. Waldman apart from nearly all other psychologists and counselors is that he tells you why your children misbehave, and then, in simple, easy-to-understand language, tells you how to correct that behavior.
You have to pass a test to get your driver’s license. As Dr. Waldman points out in the Introduction to WHO’S RAISING WHOM? “The biggest responsibility in the life of most adults is the raising of their children. It can be an awesome responsibility; however, despite the importance of child rearing, most people receive little or no training in the process. It has been suggested that in our society more attention is given to the licensing of teenagers to drive cars than to the ability or inability of persons to effectively raise their children. If you are biologically capable, you can become a parent.”
What will I learn from reading and studying this book? That’s a fair question. Here are some of the things Dr. Waldman will share with you in WHO’S RAISING WHOM? In Chapter One: A short course in behavioral psychology, Dr. Waldman presents a logical, down-to-earth discussion of developing a practical theory for raising children that really works. In his over 30 years of counseling with thousands of parents and children, he reports that these techniques have proven effective time and again. You will learn how and why parental attention is the most powerful reinforcer, and how to use it -- and when not use it.

| Coping with your Adolescent |
|
|
|
By the time children reach adolescence, it’s sometimes too late to change their behavior. That behavior may or may not be out of control, but it is usually such that our most common question is, “What can I do?” The good news is that you can learn to cope. The main purpose of this book is to help parents cope and guide their teenagers, not necessarily change them. Just as it is with WHO’S RAISING WHOM? this book is not just for parents of children who are out of control. It will also help already well-functioning families to function even more smoothly. It will help you to understand your adolescent’s behavior, and to successfully cope with situations that you might think are beyond anyone’s ability to endure. Here are some of the things you will learn: |
Monopolizing Lecturing and Preaching Interrupting Dismissing or Talking Teens Out of Their Feelings Judging Denying Perceptions Facilitating Communication by Reflective Listening Using Communication as a Tool for Conflict Management The Let Me Get Back to You Method

How come I love him but can't live with him? |

|

Due to positive comments So many couples who’ve attended Dr. Waldman’s marriage seminars have told him, “You should write a book!” that he wrote this book. The clincher, as mentioned above, was when the frazzled wife blurted out the question, “How come I love him but can’t live with him?” Viola!!! He had his title.
Who can benefit from reading this book? Anyone who is married, whether a newlywed or veteran of decades of marital bliss, and anyone engaged or about to become engaged will find a treasure trove of valuable information and tools in this book. And, absolutely, if you already have a solid marriage, what you will learn from Dr. Waldman will help you and your mate make your marriage even better!
And what will you find in this book? Before you get into the REAL MEAT of the book, which are Dr. Waldman’s Nine Rules for a Good Marriage, there are discussions about what’s important in a marriage and advice on “How to keep it simple.” Also, discussion on why marriages fail and what makes a good marriage. Just before getting into his Nine Rules for a Good Marriage, Dr. Waldman gives you “The Five Basic Questions” that you must ask yourself, and that your mate must ask himself or herself. I won’t tell you what those five questions are, but I will give in and tell you what his Nine Rules for a Good Marriage are: (They are so important that he devotes an entire chapter to each rule.) Rule No. 1: Be specific Rule No. 2: Express your feelings honestly Rule No. 3: Request a Change Rule No. 4: Use Reinforcement Rule No. 5: Give to Get Rule No. 6: Learn to Manage the Kids Rule No. 7: Enjoy Sex Rule No. 8: Fight Fair Rule No. 9: Develop a Short Memory
