Behavioral Challenges

A Truly One-Of-A-Kind Approach

This approach is designed for:

  • parents who are interested in creative parenting

Whether you're a parent or a teacher, dealing with kids' problems can be tough.

Educators face growing classroom sizes and increasing behavioral and emotional challenges among students, overwhelmed by new technologies and bullying.

Parents, on the other hand, juggle the daily commute and numerous responsibilities, often burdened by guilt about not doing enough for their children.

This approach is created to handle most problems, encourage children to take responsibility for their actions, and make their entire community stronger.

Solve Problems with Ease

With it, you can address:

  • Behavioral issues like tantrums and dishonesty
  • Emotional struggles such as anxiety and low self-esteem
  • Excessive screen time and technology usage
  • School difficulties
  • Peer pressure and bullying
  • Challenges with sleeping
  • Eating problems


No more stress. Give children the tools they need.

Before diving into the details, let's meet Dr. Ben Furman.

Introducing Dr. Ben Furman

Dr. Ben Furman is an expert in child psychology and helping children and families. He's written multiple books and even hosted radio and TV shows.

He had a new idea because he was tired of the old ways of dealing with kids' problems. Instead of always trying to understand why children misbehave, he thought, "What if we teach kids new skills to solve their problems?"

That's when he came up with the Kids'Skills method—a new way to help kids by teaching them useful skills to overcome their challenges.

The Kids’Skills Method

Kids’Skills is a practical educational method to help children overcome behavioral and emotional difficulties. The tool consists of 15 easy steps and it is founded on the principles of solution-focused psychology.

  • Studies confirm its effectiveness. 
  • Schools use it and see great results.
