Do you wish there was a way to raise well-behaved children without punishment? Are you afraid the only alternative is being overly indulgent?
With Positive Discipline, an encouragement model based on both kindness and firmness, you don’t have to choose between these two extremes. Using these 49 Positive Discipline tools, honed and perfected after years of real-world research and feedback, you’ll be able to work with your children instead of against them. The goal isn’t perfection but providing you with the techniques you need to help your children develop the life and social skills you hope for them, such as respect for self and others, problem-solving ability, and self-regulation.
The tenets of Positive Discipline consistently foster mutual respect so that any child—from a three-year-old toddler to a rebellious teenager—can learn creative cooperation and self-discipline without losing his or her dignity. In this new parenting guidebook, you’ll find day-to-day exercises for parents to improve their parenting skills, along with success stories from parents worldwide who have benefited from the Positive Discipline philosophy. With training tools and personal examples from the authors, you will learn:
· The “hidden belief” behind a child’s misbehavior, and how to respond accordingly
· The best way to focus on solutions instead of dwelling on the negative
· How to encourage your child without pampering or praising
· How to teach your child to make mistakes and follow through on agreements
· How to foster creative thinking
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Nelsen (Positive Discipline for Teenagers) focuses this iteration of her Positive Discipline method on firsthand anecdotes of success, drawn from her own parenting, the experiences of other Positive Discipline trainers, and the experiences of two of her own adult children, coauthors Tamborski and Ainge. Tamborski's stories cover the toddler and elementary school years, and Ainge's stories cover the teenage years; both stay thankfully clear of analyzing their own upbringing in any detail. Nelsen's methods are based on the ideas that punishment and reward are not effective and even logical consequences may not be helpful; that simultaneously kind and firm attention is critical; and that parents should offer encouragement rather than praise. The 49 techniques offered are specific, easy-to-follow methods for aligning parental responses to the way children think. Nelsen's tone is that of a patient teacher, gentle but never coddling, and Tamborski and Ainge's more conversational styles bring an "in the trenches" feel without falling into the self-deprecation so common in peer-focused parenting books. Those who learn by good example will find the mix of instruction and story a welcome guide in tough moments.
