The Continuum Theory

The Body – Brain Model of child development can only promise success and not happiness. This study posits that for happiness another aspect of human beings needs to be developed.

Purpose of Study

A 6 month study to evaluate the benefits of developing a child’s:

1. awareness,
2. ability to envision,
3. ability to communicate effectively and listen, and
4. ability for unconditionally loving behaviors –

Our approach is to develop parents’ skills in these 4 areas so they can model and teach them to their children. This study aims to provide real and usable skills to parents that will improve their relationships with themselves, with their spouse, parents, family members, friends, and strangers.
