We recommend his videos for those who are sincerely seeking to be a better parent, or to avoid many of the pitfalls involved in dating or complicated family relationships; or who are seeking the skills to strengthen existing and future dating, marital and parenting relationships.
Dr. Tartt's videos can be of value to kids in juvenile detention who desire helpful advice with respect to dating relationships, relationships with their child's other non-spousal parent, decisions as to whether to get married, how to attract the right kind of spouse, how to be the right kind of spouse, how to avoid pregnancy, or how to be a good parent to their current and/or future children, and how to have healthy and godly dating relationships.
His videos can also help the parents of kids in juvenile detention or group homes to gain valuable parenting skills, and valuable relationship skills that can help them to also achieve, maintain or strengthen healthy current and future relationships with spouses, dating relationships or significant others, and to avoid unhealthy behaviors and relationships that can weaken the family unit. By availing themselves of the helps provided in these videos, and well as professional family and relationship counseling by local pastors, counselors or trusted godly family members, they can be the best parents to their children they can be, and the best partner or spouse to their significant other, while avoiding negative, unhealthy, temporary or dangerous entanglements.
