Hi! I’m Dr. Deanna Marie Mason, mother, expert in growth and development, and the author of the Proactive Parenting method.

Being a good parent is more than an attitude; it’s a lifestyle.

Proactive Parenting is a powerful tool based on child development that will allow you to:

1

Make the best decisions for your children’s upbringing.

2

Prevent or limit the most common behavioral problems.

3

Raise happy and healthy children who can maximize their potential.

4

Create a harmonious and enjoyable family environment.

Parents are often told to “plant the seeds” of good behavior and values in their children and wait for the harvest, as if everything will just grow naturally. However, this advice overlooks important variables such as the quality of the soil (developmental level of the child), the care given to the seeds planted (parental attention) and how to support the budding plant to help it grow strong (limits and discipline).

The best gardens grow when the right seeds are placed in the correct soil and given appropriate care on a regular basis.

I wanted to take a moment to thank you for all you have done for our family. Over the past three years my daughter has had some difficult times in her life and as a parent I want you to know how important it was during those “tough” times to know that I was prepared to help her. So please know that you are much appreciated. With thanks, appreciation and gratitude. - Liz
