Live, Interactive Classes for Caregivers of Children with Difficult Behaviors now available Online for Adoption, Foster or Court Requirement and Personal / Professional Growth

Online, December 25, 2009 (Newswire.com) - Heather T. Forbes, LCSW of the Beyond Consequences Institute (BCI), has just graduated her third class of parents and professionals from her new and exciting interactive online program, available at www.beyondconsequencesonline.com.

This unique 11 week program offers live, interactive courses in a virtual classroom environment for both parents and professionals. The course is based on the book authored by Forbes, "Beyond Consequences, Logic & Control; A Love-Based Approach to Helping Children with Severe Behaviors" which is frequently a #1 Amazon.com Bestseller in the Adoption Category. This course is ideal for those needing to take a parenting class for adoption and foster parent training, at the request of the court, as part of a legal or probationary requirement, a custody agreement, or simply for personal growth as a parent or professional.

"Parents can take advantage of the technology we use to get connected and supported in ways they've never been able to before." says Forbes, "We have designed an online experience like no other. The Beyond Consequences Online professional and parenting training program can be taken from anywhere in the world and can be attended live or through the recordings."

During the live portion of the weekly classes, Forbes delivers course content in a webinar room, using web cams, power point slides, class discussions, role plays, and Q & A sessions to educate and inspire participants. Homework during the 11 weeks includes over five hours of web video specifically recorded for the class as well as reading and exercises during the week. There is also a private online support group just for participants to discuss and get support outside of class. At the end of the 10 sessions (the first week is an overview of the course and Technical "How-To" Class) participants are presented with a Certificate of Completion and remain members of the support group for life.

In-person classes may also be found in your local community via BCI Certified Instructors and Facilitators throughout the world. Learn how you can facilitate classes at www.Intensive2DayTraining.com

Why take a course through the Beyond Consequences Institute? Unlike other Online Parent Classes that are only recorded modules, parents and professionals have a chance to interact and discuss topics in real-time, in a format that rivals a live classroom because of the interactivity and convenience. Participants will learn a new understanding into the behaviors of children with difficult behaviors, learn how to use unconditional love in any situation and learn new ways to handle some of the most difficult challenges children can present.

These new online parenting classes will give you a new understanding of:

*Love & Fear
*The Patterns That Bind Us & Hidden Feedback Loops
*Parents Appear Hostile and Angry
*Lying and Stealing
*Hoarding and Gorging
*Aggression
*Defiance
*Lack of Eye Contact
*Personality & Family Dynamics

www.BeyondConsequencesOnline.com is a new, exciting and innovative approach to taking a parenting course and is based on the latest brain research as explained in Volumes 1 & 2 of "Beyond Consequences, Logic & Control; A Love-Based Approach to Helping Children with Severe Behaviors". Forbes' latest book, "Dare To Love" is a supplementary resource that provides real-life, in depth Q & A from parents all around the world. Whether participants need to take a parenting class for an adoption, foster parent or court requirement, or just for personal growth, this course is an ideal way to learn the skills needed to become a better parent and improve relationship skills with their children and others.
