Tools For Successful Parenting: Saving You The Trial And Error

— The discipline of parenting has no shortcuts. You must show up. You must do the work. Like any other area of your life, discipline results in progress, and a lack of discipline results in regret. The goal is not to find shortcuts, because you still need to show up and you still need to do the work. Chris offers you tools to communicate and physically intervene. These tools have reliably worked for him, his colleagues, and his staff over the past 15 years, in all five boroughs of New York City, and with hundreds of his students. This has been true whether Chris worked in homes, clinics, hospitals, or schools. He offers consistently successful techniques. The goal is to ease your concern about "what can I do?" — and to cut the learning curve by saving you the trial and error.

Valeria interviews Chris Lake — He is the author of "Help Your Toddler Meet Their Milestones: 101 Behavior Hacks."

He is a native New Yorker who has been working with children with developmental delays across the past two decades. He received his Masters in both General and Special Education in 2012. And in 2014, he started Community for a Cause, a nonprofit to initially advocate for children with lead poisoning. This nonprofit has successfully worked to aid New Yorkers in all five boroughs as well as people abroad. Community for a Cause has several branches that include Special Needs Advocacy, Homeless Relief, Sexual Violence Prevention, Environmental Protection, and a Community Building Branch. Through his charity, Chris Lake remains committed to doing all he can to help those in New York who are without a voice and all those who are in need of support. In looking to expand his ability to provide for families of children with Autism, he wrote his book "Help Your Toddler Meet Their Milestones" to give families and providers a time-tested blueprint of how to develop children using evidence-based practice. A portion of all book proceeds goes towards preventing and alleviating childhood lead poisoning.
