This page is intended to answer the most common questions that you might have. If your question is not answered then feel completely free to email me at info@talkingtotoddlers.com and I’ll do my best to give you an honest and straight forward answer.

What ages is Talking to Toddlers best suited for? 

I normally tell people that it works best with kids 2-6 years old. But to be more specific, it works as soon as you can have two-way verbal communication with your toddlers, and it never really stops working. The skills are useful with kids and adults, but the examples I’ve given you are really geared towards toddlers. When you listen to the lessons you’ll understand this more fully. As you understand the concepts you’ll be able to relate them to any age group.At about the age of 6 and up, kids have a lot more reasoning skills. For this reason I definitely do not suggest that you limit yourself to the language tools I teach. They are incredibly useful but they are not a complete solution for older children.If your child is 6 or older and you are having an incredibly tough time with defiance and resistance then I really recommend another course called The Total Transformation® Progam. Either visit their website here or check back soon and we’ll have a detailed review of the program published on this website. It is not cheap, but it is definitely worth every penny (and it comes with a free trial).

I’m not comfortable downloading from the Internet. Can I get “Talking to Toddlers” shipped to me in CD format?

Yes!  You now can get it in CD format.  Here is the link to order in CD format.  The price is higher because it costs extra money to manufacture and ship.  The price of the CD version *includes shipping* to anywhere in the world.  If you require express shipping then simply contact me to arrange it prior to ordering.

What makes this course different from other parenting courses?

The major difference is how I teach you actual language skills based on 15 years of studying these techniques. The language that I teach you to use, and the other “tricks” that I teach, are all based on fundamental principles of NLP and Ericksonian hypnosis. To my knowledge, nobody has ever created a parenting course with a focus on toddlers using these tools.  Don’t worry – there is no voodoo or anything weird.  We’re not hypnotizing anybody.  We’re just using the language tools that work.  All of these tools are designed to get you results.  They are not manipulative.  If you are unsure about this just fill in the web form on the side of the page and claim your free lesson.

How do I make my own CDs after downloading the program?

The easiest way is to use iTunes (free software for PC or Mac computers). You can get it at the Apple website (www.apple.com). What you would do is really easy. Create 3 “playlists” with names such as “Talking to Toddlers 1″ and then “Talking to Toddlers 2″, and so on. Place tracks 1-4 in the first playlist, then tracks 5-8 in another playlist, and finally tracks 9-12 in the third playlist. For each list select “burn” and iTunes will automatically make CDs for you. If you don’t want to use iTunes you can do the same thing using Windows Media Player which is made by Microsoft.

What if I have trouble with the download?

I’m here to help. There have been a few customers who had problems with their Internet service and had to email me for help. I always respond promptly and I’m definitely not going to ignore you. My number one priority is serving customers. I can promise you that I’ll do whatever it takes to fix any technical problems you run into. Your proof? If you are not happy guess who’s getting a refund request! Yes that would be me. So I’m always going to go the extra mile. 

I’m getting an exclamation mark when I try to import the files into iTunes.  The files are not found. 

This happens if you don’t “unzip” the file that you downloaded.  You are downloading a “zip” file which is just a way to bunch up all the audio material together into a single file so you can download it easily.  Then, after you download it you just double-click on it so that it opens in a new window.  This window will show you all of the audio files.  Simply go to the “file” menu in the upper left and select “extract all”.  Then it is “unzipped” and you can drag those unzipped files into iTunes.   

How does the 60-day guarantee work?

It’s about as simple as you could possibly expect. If for any reason you are not happy with the course then all you have to do is email me to ask for a refund within 60 days. I then process the refund and you get every penny back. I’m taking the risk because some small percentage of people are dishonest and could ask for a refund despite loving the material. All I can do is rely on the majority of people being honest.

How do I use this course?

There are 12 lessons. I recommend you listen to only one lesson per day, and then be absolutely sure to do the homework with each lesson. Learning new skills involves more than just reading or listening. You must participate in the “doing”. The homework is easy and fun, and the results will thrill you.
