Training is created with the goal of changing learners' behaviors, but anyone who has created learning experiences knows that there's a big gap between knowing and doing. You can create an engaging learning experience that informs and helps people remember, but often those people go back to their regular world and continue to do things the same way they always have. In the last few decades, the fields of psychology, behavioral economics, and other behavioral sciences have brought an enormous amount of scientific research into helping people with behavior change.

In this abridged audiobook version of his best-selling title, Paul Dix talks you through the book’s hugely influential behavior management approach - an approach whereby expectations and boundaries are exemplified by people, not by a thousand rules that nobody can recall.

Your own behaviour is the only behaviour over which you have absolute control. To change your children's behaviour, you first need to change your own. Your behaviour as a parent is the difference between chaos and calm. It is the gap between strategies falling or succeeding.

In When the Parents Change, Everything Changes, Britain's leading behaviour expert introduces parents to a revolutionary method for changing your behaviour and so changing your children's - tried and tested in over 100,000 schools.

What if just 10 seconds could change everything? It can. Do you ever feel like you’re saying yes when you really want to say no?

While making lasting change isn’t instant, the first step is.
