Hi, I'm Bonnie...
...and I need to tell you something: I was exactly where you are right now. Four children. Four diagnoses. ADHD. Severe ODD. Daily battles. Medication that wasn't working. A home filled with tension instead of love.
And the worst part?
My own children would scatter when I walked into a room. That was my breaking point. And it was also the moment everything changed.
Bonnie Liotta, Co-Founder Creating Champions For Life, Author & Mother of 4+
In 2011, I met Thomas. He didn't promise me a quick fix or a magic pill. He showed me something completely different: a methodology built on guidance, not punishment. Life skills, not control.
What happened next changed everything.
Within months, our home transformed. The daily battles stopped. The medications were reduced (and eventually eliminated for three of our four children).
Most importantly, my kids stopped running when I entered the room. They started seeking me out.
Not because I became "better at discipline."
Because I learned to speak their language.
Thomas Liotta didn't start as a parenting expert.
He started as a martial arts instructor who kept seeing the same thing:
kids with "behavioral problems" who blossomed when taught life
skills instead of punished for lacking them.
For 40 years, he's worked with over 3,000 children—many labeled "hopeless cases" by schools and therapists. 90% of them transformed. Not through medication. Not through punishment. Through learning the skills no one had taught them.
In 2004, he was inducted into the Martial Arts Hall of Fame—not for his fighting techniques, but for his youth development program that changed lives.
Together, we've spent nearly two decades refining what Thomas developed over 40 years, my decades of personal development and business leadership, and what saved my own family.
We've codified it into the 12 CCFL principles—a methodology that hundreds of families have used to go from chaos to calm.
I bring the parent's perspective—I've lived the frustration, the fear, the guilt. I know what it's like to be told your child is "broken."
Thomas brings the methodology that proves they're not.
Here's what we believe:
Your child isn't broken.
They're not defiant for the sake of being defiant.
They're not "disordered."
They're speaking a language you haven't learned yet.
And once you learn it, everything changes.
We started Creating Champions For Life because no family
should have to spend years in the battle we lived through.
No child should grow up believing they're fundamentally flawed.
And no parent should have to choose between their sanity and their child's wellbeing.
There's another way.
And we're here to show you.
