Would you believe it if I told you that nearly 40% of U.S. children lack strong emotional bonds with their parents. (“The Chronicle of Evidence Based Mentoring November 2023”)

Furthermore, according to CDC.gov, a major component of the Department of Health and Human Services that works 24/7 to protect the health, safety, and security of the American people, Cognitive Behavior Therapy focuses on changing the thoughts and emotions that can affect a child’s behavior negatively. The therapist helps the child become aware of their thoughts and feelings. The best treatment for children is, “Cognitive Behavior Therapy” and that’s what we’re all about.

Now think about it, are we just discussing children?  Under 18?  No, the answer is a big no, a child can be of any age.  Right?

Moms and Dads think that by taking their child to a traditional therapist their child’s attitude will magically change.  But, the answer is, sorry folks, it doesn’t.  If it did then why is it that 40% of U.S. children lack strong emotional bonds with their parents.

Let me begin by saying that children need the proper education to learn what a healthy relationship is in order to lead a healthy life.  They need to challenge their thought processes, learn new techniques, master them, and take control of their emotions. 

Our method not only works for children but also works well between any and all relationships.   Just as you spend time trying to learn how to cook, a successful “Child’s Behavior” has its own ingredients also.  And that’s what we’re all about!  We have those ingredients, and we share them with you!  Act upon them yourself and teach others.

Meeting Your Client

You:  Hello John, I’m glad to meet you and I want to assure you that I am able to help you with your child’s behavior.  What I’d like to do is tell you a little about myself, my training, and my certification.  I will then spend some time with you asking you a series of questions on our “Intake Form”.  After getting to know and understand your situation, I will then present you with the solutions.  I will inform you of the cost.  And if you like what I showed you, then we can begin your journey into a “Healthy Child Attitude Behaviors.”  If you decide not to engage me to be your child coach, that’s fine.  At least we have met one another, you know what I do, how much it costs, and how I can help you, and I would appreciate your business anytime.  Fair enough?

John:  Yes!

You:  John, the company I studied with and got certified by is called Child Attitude’s Coach.  The CEO of the company is Dr. George Constantine Tannous.  He holds his PhD degree in, and of course you guessed it, “Counseling.”  Dr. Tannous has counseled many in his past and at one time he was the Chairperson, over the tutor’s committee of the RDAP program for the Federal Bureau of Prisons.  His job was to preside over 160 inmates to help them with their studies in “Cognitive Behavioral Therapy” in order to reduce recidivism.   And the program works.  Recidivism means to reduce the outcome of relapsing into committing another crime and ending back in prison.  It is what he calls, “Crime Reduction Program.”  It’s great don’t you agree?  (Wait for a response.)

And John, according to CDC.Gov, “Cognitive Behavior Therapy” focuses on changing the thoughts and emotions that can affect a child’s behavior negatively. The therapist helps the child become aware of their thoughts and feelings. The best treatment for children is, “Cognitive Behavior Therapy” and that’s what we’re all about.

John, would you be kind enough to tell me about the main struggles with your child.  (At this time take notes and be a great active listener.)

John:  Well, little Johnny never listens to me.  He is very careless about his responsibilities around the house.  He always blames his other siblings.

You:  I see.  Thanks for sharing that with me.  I am able to help you with that.  I will guide you and Johnny towards a healthier relationship.  Is that what you’d like to see happen?

John:  You can say so!

You: (Take out the intake work papers and proceed.)  John, at this point I want to narrow down the struggling behaviors.  Let’s begin.

Start asking all of the questions on the intake form and take notes.  Once finished, you’ll be surprised at all of the answers.  Trust me on this one.  Make sure to ask many questions.

You:  Wow John, I can see why the relationship struggles.  Without improving all of the bad attitudes, rational thinking errors, communicating with one another properly, to confront and level, and in understanding all the ingredients to a healthy relationship, your relationship will continue to struggle, and little Johnny will carry his present attitudes into the future.

In order to have a healthy relationship whether it be with your spouse, your kids, your friends, people at work and so on, you need to become a master at all of the ingredients that work. 

Furthermore, if you engage me, not only will you study, learn and understand the secrets to “Cognitive Behavior Therapy, and as you now it is the only solution for kids according to the CDC as discussed earlier, but, you’ll become a “Certified Child Attitude Coach” as well and can also begin your own business.  How does that sound?

John:  Hmmm, it sounds great.  But how long will it take, and how much does it cost?

You: There are about 69 topics.  Would you consider yourself a fast learner?

John:  Yes

You:  Okay great.  Let’s try five topics a week.  One per day.  You’ll need to read each topic at least three times to fully understand it.  You’ll need to write your essays and answer all of the questions.  We will meet weekly.  You’ll turn in all of your homework.  We will discuss any questions you might have, and we’ll discuss the upcoming week’s assignments.  At that rate, then 69/5 equals 14 so it will take us 14 weeks to complete.  Sounds good?

John:  Yes, but how much is it?

You:  John aside from the cost and how it can fit into your budget, do you have any questions?

John:  No!

You:  So, if I told you it cost you nothing, you would want to get started right away?

John:  Of course!

You:  I wish I could do that.  But our rates are between $50 to $150 per session.  Will you be able to afford $75 per session?

Proceed from there and fill out the “Engagement Agreement”

Congratulations on your first client! 

The session is about 45 minutes long.  But let’s use one hour.  So, if you engage 20 clients.  You’ll be busy for half a year.  Let’s have a look at the income:

20 (clients per week) * $75 each*52 weeks = $78,000 per year part time.  You can work half the time as reflected above.  Full time = 78,000*2=$156,000. If you charge $150 per hour then that’s $312,000 per year.

Welcome to your new career,

Dr. G. Constantine Tannous
