What is the name of the company that has a commercial for disobedient, argumentative teenagers?

Asked by limeaide (1921points) September 11th, 2009

I’ve seen this commercial a few times usually during the day. Now someone I know could use a program like this company offers. All I remember was the guy presenting developed this program to have better relationships with teenagers, I think he had curly hair. Seemed like the commercial was made during the mid-90s. Anybody have any ideas?

Was it Outward Bound?

Total Transformation is what I might have guessed, too. There is also a book called Have a New Child By Friday which covers the same basic approach, but at a much lower cost.

@Supacase That’s exactly the one I was thinking about. Thank you.
@PandoraBoxx thanks for the thought

@Darwin Great, I’ll give that to her as well, thank you!

If anyone knows of any other programs/books that are worthwhile please let me know. Thanks!

@limeaide Are you assuming that these things are worthwhile because they had a commercial?

limeaide's avatar

@avvooooooo not necessarily, although I remember them saying some things that made sense to me at the time and thought it was a program of interest. I also posed the questions in hopes that someone may even know if it is worthwhile or not, or that maybe someone might suggest an alternate. I know I didn’t word the question that way but I wanted to see how things went. :)

@limeaide Perhaps a family therapist rather than a book would be beneficial. Especially if you can find an experiential therapist. Masters of weird things that work.

@limeaide – I know the book works, if you can stick to it, and (at least in our situation) the kid stays on his meds.

@Darwin thanks, I was asking for someone else but I’m going to pick this one up for our younger kids as well. Thanks!
