Praise for Charlie's New Training Tapes
" These outstanding tapes should be required viewing for all poeple working with troubled children and youth. One reason is that Charlie Appelstein entertains as he teaches, inspiring the viewer to laugh, nod, and cry with recognition. Another is that we come away believing in the potential of all youngsters to lead happier lives. I only wish this magic was available when I began my career."
