Alyson Schafer\'s Parenting Bootcamp. DVD Video Nov. 07 Toronto. Burn with Toast on mac to single layer DVD.

This is an amateur video of psycho therapist and parenting guru, Alyson Schafer\'s two-day parenting boot camp. I used my Canon still camera on the lowest quality video setting with just over 10 hours of video (thanks to Toast on the mac). It is in DVD Video format so you can select scenes which are clips at max one hour each. Get out of the trenches and get some tips from the pro!          


My wife and I watched the video through to the end, and I jotted down some brief notes on each scene. With the menu scene selection on this DVD, you can then zone in on the relevant sections for a brush up. If you see any needed changes in the notes, leave a comment and I can update it. Also it gives you an idea of the breadth of the topics. Highly recommended to watch it from start to finish to get the relevant background info.
