This
is the world of TIA
TIA author Bill Allin failed so badly as a parent
that his kids wanted nothing to do with him when they were old enough
to leave home. His grandchildren will never know what it's like to have a grandparent because
they believe their grandparents are all dead (only one is).
No one knows for certain why they rejected him, though his daughter and
son have persuaded themselves that he was at fault for something relatively
trivial. That part was easy, finding an excuse.
The profound sorrow of that loss (their mother, Bill's first wife, died
as well) sent him on a quest that turned up more information about how children
develop in ways that few of us realize than he or any of us could have
imagined.
Turning It Around: Causes and Cures for Today's Epidemic Social Problems, the
book that's now a worldwide "movement in the making," has become the foundation
for teaching the world what everyone should know to raise children (and grandchildren)
in today's world. It's the must have book for parenting.
It's easy to be a parent. You don't need any training, experience or education
to get started. You have fun beginning the process, then once the hardest part,
birthing, is over you can resume your fun. Though it sounds absurd, many of today's
new parents understand little more about parenting than that.
They love their kids and offer as evidence the fact that they buy them everything
they want. Needs are never a serious consideration. What the kids can express in
words that they want, they get from a store. What the kids really need but do not
have the vocabulary to express in words they receive in small quantities, if at
all.
"Quality time" means nothing to a child. It's a euphemism parents use for avoiding
giving their kids what they really need. To many adults, "quality time" means playing
with their children, not teaching them. When the kids get old enough that parental
playtime is not something they enjoy, the parents back away and the kids indulge
in activities that no one wants to see them do.
Adolescents rebel without even being certain what they are rebelling against.
Teenagers don't rebel in all cultures, only in the cultures this book was written
for. The book discusses the social and emotional needs, growth and development of
children, which take priority over their intellectual and physical development but
that most parents know virtually nothing about. A child with an unfilled social
or emotional problem will never learn at potential, may be a discipline problem
and will likely drop out of school early.
Parenting is the only critically important human activity for which no training
is given and no manual provided so that young adults who want to do their best for
their kids can know that they're doing.
All parents try their best to raise their children right. With this book they
now have a chance to provide the kind of support and guidance parents should give
to their kids.
Turning It Around: Causes and Cures for Today's Epidemic Social Problems, despite
it lofty sounding title, has a down-to-earth purpose and writing style. It's the
essential guidebook for parents and grandparents. It's what you need to know.
Here's what we suggest. First of all,
join our TIA support group so that you can get daily postings from Turning It
Around author Bill Allin. When you do you will have available to you a free
ebook called 50 Gifts for Life, a bonus for parents and grandparents who
have kids that don't seem to want to talk with members of an older generation. They
will when you have the advice in this book.

Once you get the idea that we are not radicals
or freaks, but ordinary folks who happen to know some extraordinary stuff, you will
want to buy the book Turning It Around or borrow it from your local library.
Once you read it, you will want to loan it to others
so they can learn what you know.
Just talk about it so that when enough of us know
how the plan can come about, we will act to encourage our boards, departments and
ministries of education to change school curriculum to encompass our program.
Everyone will benefit, every last person, no matter
what their age, where they live or what their income.
And your taxes will go way down over time because
governments won't need to spend so much to "protect" us from social problems that
will be greatly reduced to the point of being almost insignificant.
As of this writing a relatively small number of
people in nearly 200 countries and territories know about this program. They want
to chat with you about how you and they can help each other.
OK, let's move around this web site now and learn
more about Turning It Around: Causes and Cures for Today's Epidemic Social Problems
and get some of the nuts and bolts of what we have talked about above.
You have some interesting and exciting times ahead.
