And she is recognized as an Advanced hypnotherapist. In all, she has pursued an entrepreneurial path for 22 years.

How to Revolutionize Your Child's Life
Peggy Caruso believes that child-raising has changed over time. The standards parents grew up with no longer apply. The new generation of children see things differently. They are much more cautious and cynical about life. She illustrated this point-of-view by describing an experiment she casually conducts when children come to her office for counseling. On her desk is a bottle of water. Only one child said it was half-full. All the rest considered it half-empty.
Peggy described the three developmental stages children go through as they mature into adults. In the first stage, the imprint period, children from birth up to seven years of age absorb everything around them like sponges. In the second stage, the modeling period, children from seven to fourteen years of age imitate the behavior of those around them. Finally, in the third stage, the socialization period, children fourteen to twenty-one years of age focus on discovering their own unique identities.
Parents had their best chance of making a positive impression on their children during each of these three stages. Each stage offered a critical development opportunity. It was important for parents to play an active role in their children's development because if left to their own devices, children would absorb the negative attitudes of their peers and the world around them. Negative thinking results in a negative life.
Peggy's book Revolutionize Your Child's Life discusses how parents can intervene at each stage of their child's development to counter the negative social conditioning children are exposed to on a regular basis.
