At PaRC we practice the Causal Theory (as in cause and effect): we develop according to how we were treated, and then we treat our children in a variation of how we were treated, unless we choose to modify our legacy with self-reflection and self-correction.
Thus, we either pass on the old or revised behaviors to our own children and those we encounter. Nurture, not nature, writes the pattern. And patterns can be rewritten.
From birth, mirror neurons shape what feels "normal" from how a child is treated. That's how attachment and empathy are passed down, or not.
The most important and influential relationship in life is the one between parent and child.
How we relate to our parenting partner, together or apart, still matters profoundly for the children.
Healing follows humility and commitment. You can change yourself, your family, and your child at any age.
All paths end with you being able to heal faster, deeper, and cheaper than with most programs. Not sure? Tell us your situation and we'll point you to the right door.
The essentials of The Causal Theory (not casual but causal): how we become the way we are, and how to heal it. It doesn't just help parents; it also helps with personal growth.

It is highly recommended that everyone obtain a copy of The Handbook, which accompanies the parenting videos.
Better together. Our program works best and is cheaper if you have a practice buddy. Further, if you can attend with the children's other parent, the results will be significantly better for your children.
The court expects their orders to be met by you and us. Some of you need a certificate or a diploma. Others will need a letter to the court. We can provide these upon request.
The Manual is the definitive book on parenting and the Causal Theory, the foundation of every PaRC class. Every student is encouraged to keep a copy of The Handbook alongside the parenting videos.
