17 Steps to Sane Parents & Self-Motivated Kids. In other words...

FGPS designed to keep you from micromanaging your kids, while at same time incentivizing hard work, responsibility and character.

FGPS is best facilitated with assistance from a coach (me, John). To make an appointment and receive needed support on these materials, go to: www.pathofpeace.org/appointment.

🔵 Part 1 - Prep

1a) Get a 3 Ring Binder & Tabs

Get a three ring binder for each child and adult or one binder with sections for each person in the family (and a tab with each child's name).

All the sheets you'll need are in google links provided as we go. These are not PDF docs, so you can make copies for yourself and change them in any way you want to suit your family.

There are documents for each child and several FGPS for your family's collective use (which could go in its own notebook of you’ve opted for separate notebooks for each child).

Note that a later step includes getting clipboards, which you might want to pick up at same time you pick up the 3 ring binders.

1b) Pre-Reading & Listening

If you haven't already, please click here to read "FGPS Principles." This is about a 30 to 45 minute read.

After reading, start listening to Dr. Jones. Fit in as much of him as you can i.e. while doing dishes, driving, getting ready for work etc. The more you hear his crazy little voice in your head, the better.

**These recording (apparently not available for purchase any more) are provided here (however many you feel to listen to) will attenuate your brain toward new ways of thinking when it comes to raising kids and leading a household. Click the link below to go to the Dr. Jones Youtube collection.
