Dr. Robert MacKenzie is a Family Therapist, Educational Psychologist, and nationally recognized Parent Educator and Staff Development Trainer with more than 25 years of experience helping parents and teachers solve children’s learning and behavior problems. He is the author of three best-selling books.

His first book, Setting Limits, helps parents teach rules and establish clear, firm boundaries for children of all ages and temperaments. His second book, Setting Limits in the Classroom, is a skill-training program for teachers in effective classroom management. Setting Limits with Your Strong-Willed Child helps parents and teachers teach rules and gain cooperation from challenging, hard-to-raise children who engage us in more testing and power-struggles.

Dr. MacKenzie received his M.A. in Educational Psychology from the University of California at Davis in 1977 and his doctorate in Counseling and Educational Psychology from the University of San Francisco in 1990. In addition to providing family counseling and parent/teacher training workshops, Dr. MacKenzie writes for magazines and educational journals and consults privately with schools, hospitals, parent/teacher organizations, colleges, church groups, and wide variety of community service agencies.
