Synopsis

Why does it feel sometimes as if our children have special powers that enable them to tune us out completely? You ask your child to do her homework, get ready for school, or go to bed. You think she heard you but . . . no response. You've tried everything—time-outs, nagging, counting to three—and nothing seems to work. In this invaluable book, Amy McCready, founder of the popular online parenting course Positive Parenting Solutions, presents a nag-and-scream-free program for compassionately yet effectively correcting your children's bad behavior.



McCready draws on Adlerian psychology and positive discipline, which focuses on the central idea that every human being has a basic need to feel connected and empowered—children being no exception to the rule. According to McCready, when this need isn't met in positive ways, kids resort to negative methods. In this book, she provides parents with a virtual toolbox of strategies they can use to give their children the attention and power they crave—and do away with the misbehaving that adults dread.

There were many tips that helped me and that I continue to do with my children (like special one-on-one time). But other things just weren't working for us. While the logic b......more

Goodreads review by Jerzy

OK, it's written with enthusiasm by a business consultant, who (naturally) overpromises dramatic improvements to your kids' behavior. Plus a lot of this is for kids much older than ours. But there are some useful-seeming tips. We'll try them out and see if it helps. Notes to self: * p.21-22: Alfred Ad......more
