ScreamFree Parenting by Hal E

WB Price: $36.95
Parenting is not about kids, it's about parents.If you're not in control, then you cannot be in charge.What every kid really needs are parents who are able to keep their cool no
matter what.Easier said than done? Not anymore, thanks to ScreamFree Parenting,
the principle-based approach that's inspiring parents everywhere to truly
revolutionize their family dynamics. Moving beyond the child-centered,
technique-based approaches that ultimately fail, the ScreamFree way compels you
to:focus on yourself calm yourself down, and grow yourself up By staying calm
"and "connected with your kids, you begin to operate less out of your
deepest fears and more out of your highest principles, revolutionizing your
relationships in the process. ScreamFree Parenting" is not just another
parenting book. It's the "first"parenting book that maintains--from
beginning to end--that parenting is NOT about kids . . . it's about parents. As
parents pay more attention to controlling their "own" behavior instead
of their kids' behavior, the result is stronger, more rewarding, and more
fulfilling family relationships.For those of you reading who "are
"parents, "know "parents, or have "had "parents, the
notion that the greatest thing you can do for your children is to learn to focus
on yourself may sound strange, even heretical. It's not. Here's why: "we
"are the only ones we can control. We cannot control our kids--we cannot
control the behavior of any other human being. And yet, so many
"experts" keep giving us more tools ("techniques") to help
us try to do just that. And, of course, the more we try to control, the more out
of control our children become."Don't make me come up there."
"Don't make me pull this car over." "How many times do I have to
tell you?" Even our language suggests that our kids have control over
us.It's no wonder that we end up screaming. Or shutting down. Or simply giving
up. And the charts, refrigerator magnets, family meetings, and other techniques
in most typical parenting books just don't work. They end up making us feel more
frustrated and more powerless in this whole parenting thing.This practical,
effective guide for parents of all ages with kids of all ages introduces proven
principles for overcoming the anxieties and stresses of parenting and setting
new patterns of connection and cooperation. Well-written in an engaging,
conversational tone, the book is sensible, straightforward, and based on the
experiences of hundreds of actual families. It will help allparents become
calming authorities in their homes, bring peace to their families today, and
give kids what they need to grow into caring, self-directed adults

Here's a great guidebook for parents of children ages 6 to 16 facing a myriad of family challenges: a teen who's defiant; siblings who constantly bicker; a child having trouble in school, or parents and kids who occupy the same house but don't communicate or have fun together anymore. Common Sense Parenting provides parents with a menu of proven techniques that will aid them in building good family relationships, preventing and correcting misbehavior, using consequences to improve behavior, teaching self-control, and staying calm.

Parents also learn how to help children solve problems, reach goals by using charts and contracts, and practice new social skills.22.50

The
Angry Child
ISBN 060980751X EAN: 9780609807514 Three Rivers Paperback WB Price: $25.95
Every child has an off day when nothing seems to go right, but for some, angry outbursts, frustration, and resentment are the norm. When a child's anger threatens to jeopardize his school and social life and introduces an element of strain into the family dynamics that affects every member, it's time for a parent to ask: When is angry too angry?Child psychologist Dr. Tim Murphy has addressed this very question with hundreds of families, helping them to understand both the causes and the repercussions of childhood anger and to devise effective strategies for defusing the time bomb in their midst. Whether it's a toddler staging a tantrum, a grade-schooler unable to make friends, or a sulking preteen who greets every adult request with antagonism, parents of angry children are baffled by both the depth and the root of their child's unhappiness. And when small social problems and household disputes regularly escalate into full-fledged battles, it's nearly impossible for parents to distance themselves enough from the situation to find a perspective that will remedy it.
With simple, direct techniques, Dr. Murphy shows it is possible to help an angry child understand what triggers his outbursts and develop new approaches for coping with potentially explosive situations. Identifying the ten telling characteristics of an angry child, Dr. Murphy provides examples from his clinical experience to help adults guide their children to more appropriate responses. Dr. Murphy also alerts readers to parenting styles that work best for these volatile children, explaining how a parent's own behavior can sometimes escalate a child's meltdowns. He pinpoints the moments when anger moves from a normalemotional expression to an extreme one, indicative of a larger problem. In a special chapter devoted to winning daily battles, Dr. Murphy offers advice on situations in which an angry child's temper is most likely to flare.
The Angry Child is destined to be a classic. With real solutions for the concerns of millions of parents, Dr. Murphy offers answers and hope for the families and educators of unhappy children of all ages.

The
Brat Stops Here! (5 weeks or less) By Mary Elaine Jacobsen
ISBN 0312342799 EAN: 9780312342791 St Martin Paperback WB Price: $23.95
In her private practice, Mary-Elaine Jacobsen worked with thousands of parents to help them with their defiant, obnoxious, and challenging children. By following her program parents have seen their children's arguing, tantrums, and disobedience come to an end.
In THE BRAT STOPS HERE, Dr. Jacobsen comprehensively outlines her program for giving parents the essential tools they need to set limits and expectations and follow through with their kids when they cross the line. The key to Dr. Jacobsen's program is the Privileges On/Privileges Off approach. When a child does not comply with the rules of the house (which are carefully explained to the child in an age appropriate manner), he or she loses all privileges and must earn them back by apologizing, acknowledging what they would do differently, doing what was asked of them in the first place, and performing an additional chore. Following this approach consistently over the course of five weeks will have a dramatic effect on the household--including reducing tension in the interaction between parents and children, developing skills that will help children get along better at home and at school, and laying the foundation for children to become self-sufficient, responsible adults.
