Riassunto

All children test boundaries (and sometimes your patience).It’s a natural part of growing up. Your job as a parent is to let them know what’s acceptable and what isn’t, praise good behavior, and enforce limits.

Easier said than done. Even the best-intentioned parents can find themselves shouting - or capitulating yet again to avoid a scene. Worse, the one-size-fits-all discipline methods experts tout can be too narrow for some concerns.

Blending developmental insights with an arsenal of proven techniques, Stress-Free Discipline prepares parents for any challenge: the preschooler who throws a fit...the second-grader who refuses homework...the budding tween who dishes out insults. The book helps determine the root cause, explaining what drives the behavior, why it’s usually normal, how to prevent escalations, and how to instill self-control. Once parents grasp the underlying motivation they can select the strategy that fits their child’s age, temperament, and issue - including rolemodeling, setting limits, positive reinforcement, negative consequences, disengagement - and deploy it calmly and with confidence. Examples and exercises throughout help readers personalize the authors’ advice to their unique situation.

Practical, thoughtful, and deeply informative, Stress-Free Discipline is the one book every family needs for a more peaceful and happy home.

Dalla quarta di copertina

Every parent struggles with a child’s behavior at some point, frustrated in figuring out what to do. Advice is everywhere, but little of it helps you to deal with your child at that moment.

From bedtime battles to bad attitudes, Stress-Free Discipline allows you to pick the best strategy for specific situations with specific kids, based on their age, temperament, and issue. Role modeling, communication, ignoring, positive reinforcement, negative consequences, and more will expand your discipline toolkit and help you to nip challenging behaviors in the bud.

The book also ties all the pieces of the discipline puzzle together, shedding light on why kids do what they do, how stress triggers problems, how to encourage self-control and nurture resilience, what’s normal behavior, and when to seek help, and more. Whether you’re facing an explosive toddler or a child who talks back, Stress-Free Discipline helps you respond calmly and confidently, and create a more peaceful home.
