DISCIPLINE FOR HOME AND SCHOOL, FUNDAMENTALS    

For any educator or parent interested in learning about RTP, this is the first book they should read. It explains exactly how RTP is used, how this process differs from other discipline programs, and should help anyone decide on whether to use this process. More importantly, it shows how students learn a way to deal within themselves that should last a lifetime. It explains how permanent change does not happen at the behavioral level, with our actions, but rather at the level at which we think, where we establish our values and beliefs, our priorities and standards, and where we structure our lives.

This new book about the Responsible Thinking Process® (RTP)®, shows how this process, when properly used, teaches students to look within themselves, decide the way they want to be, and restructure their own lives so they can get what they want without violating the rights of others.

 It is a most unique book in that it discusses perceptual control theory’s understanding of the necessity of reorganization for long-term change within students—especially the most chronically disruptive students. Finally, it shows that the benefits can be shared by all participants in the educational process, including teachers, administrators, and parents. As mentioned above, this should be the first book read by educators or parents thinking of using RTP at home, in school, or at other facilities dealing with children, from daycare centers to residential treatment facilities for juveniles.

Discipline for Home and School, Book Two: Practical Standards for Schools (revised and expanded edition)
 

Five years after building a successful discipline model in two urban elementary schools in Phoenix, more than 200 other schools in the U.S., Australia, and Singapore, have attempted the process. Some have done well while some have not. After a thorough review of the practices at many of these schools, it became obvious why many schools were not successful. This book explains what is needed for creating and maintaining a successful process and the specific roles of the key people involved. Sixteen educators have participated in this revision, most of whom are administrators. This book, along with Book One (see above), is an absolute must for those who want to properly prepare themselves and their staff (along with training by a certified RTP trainer) and then implement the process.

Freedom From Stress
 

This book looks at stress as a conflict within our own complex control system of goals, priorities, standards, and the decisions we make. Based on a new scientific way of understanding how we think and act called perceptual control theory, it states we are a self-directing species, with our own internal control systems that are responsible for how we live our life. In perceptual control theory, the beliefs and values that emanate from our systems concepts reflect our own self-designated blueprints for life -- the way we believe our lives ought to be. How we construct our beliefs and values and the resulting happiness is largely based on the reliability of our blueprint and how honestly we adhere to the standards we've set and the decisions we've made. This book gives practical directions which will help readers build harmony within their lives.

Love Guaranteed
 

By the time I wrote this book, I had firmly established in my own mind what it was that really made a marriage work. As I taught more and more couples how to rebuild their lives, I saw the need for a very practical book, describing how I teach couples the value of quality time and how to use it. I have printed over 250,000 of the Love/Quality Time cards discussed in this book. I give them away free to anyone who wants to hand them out.

Choosing to Love
 

The more I counseled others, especially couples and those with children, the more I saw the need for a very practical, down-to-earth book on relationships. This book deals with the day to day problems of couples and the confusion about what makes a relationships lasting and enjoyable. I talk about such things as love, sex, criticism, controlling others, how we perceive others, satisfying our needs, and the nitty gritty of daily loving and living.

Permanent Love
 

As a counselor, teacher, husband, and father of eight growing children, I had developed an increasing interest in what love was all about, especially what it was that made a warm, happy, and lasting marriage. Ultimately, I began to develop the concept of quality time and in this book, I explain the four steps of loving. The last section takes those steps and applies them to loving God.
