Synopsis


Do you ever find yourself asking . . .
How can you get your children to do their homework without meltdowns, threats or bribes?How can you 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 without making them want to hide what they're doing from you?Family therapist Susan Stiffelman is here to help. While most parenting programs are designed to coerce kids to change, Parenting Without Power Struggles does something innovative, showing you how to help your children awaken their natural instincts to cooperate, rather than employing 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 place of strong, durable connection, and you'll be better able to help your kids navigate the challenging moments of growing up.

Drawing upon her successful practice and packed with real-life stories, Parenting Without Power Struggles is an extraordinary guidebook for transforming the day-to-day lives of busy parents—and the children they love.

I am a voracious reader and needed something non-fiction for a change of pace. I listened to this book on Audible. The narrator drove me nuts bc she talked too slow, so I increased the speed to 1.25x and loved it! So many thoughts are swirling in my head. Every parent wants to know that he or she is......more

Goodreads review by Kate on September 19, 2012

This was just the book I needed at just the right time. I love that the focus is on connecting with your kids, rather than disciplining them.
