Riassunto

Every parent knows the unrelenting fervour of a four-year-old's tantrum, an eight-year-old's insistence on talking back, or a moody pre-teen's newfound hobby of brooding in anger. And every parent has asked the simple question: how can I avoid meltdowns and create more peace at home? While most parenting strategies are designed to coerce your kids to change, Parenting Without Power Struggles does something innovative, and focuses on where parents actually have real control: within themselves. When parents learn to keep their cool and parent from a strong and durable connection, they become able to help their children navigate the challenging moments of growing up. Family therapist Susan Stiffelman has shown thousands of parents how to be the confident 'captain of the ship' in their children's lives. Based on her successful practice and packed with real-life stories, Susan shares proven strategies and clear insights to motivate kids to cooperate and connect, making Parenting Without PowerStruggles an extraordinary guidebook for transforming your day-to-day parenting life.

Dalla quarta di copertina:

Do you ever find yourself asking . . .
How you can get your children to do their homework without meltdowns, threats or . . . bribes?
How you can have a drama-free morning where the kids actually get out the door in time for school?
How can you better manage your kids' screen time, enforcing limitations without making them want to hide what they're doing from you?
Family therapist Susan Stiffelman is here to help. While most parenting programmes are designed to coerce your kids to change, Parenting Without Power Struggles does something innovative, and will show you how to come alongside your children to awaken their natural instincts to cooperate, rather than at them with threats or bribes, which inevitably fuels their resistance. By staying calm and being the confident 'captain of the ship' your child needs, you will learn how to parent from a point of strong, durable connection, and you'll be better able to help your kids navigate the challenging moments of growing up.
