Parenting a child with behavioral problems can be
exhausting, and finding a way to familial harmony may at
times seem like an impossible task. Where do you even
begin? Is there a way to break patterns of destructive
behavior? How can you avoid situations that have the
potential to escalate out of control? ''Happy Families''
answers all of these questions and more, providing a
step-by-step structured approach to behavior management
that really works. Based on the concept of Non-Violent
Resistance, it teaches parents how to avoid the use of
aggressive responses such as hitting, cursing, blaming,
threatening or humiliating the child, and focuses
instead on minimizing and preventing the escalation of
bad behavior, ensuring that parental integrity is
retained throughout. Each chapter deals with a different
stage of the process, from conveying a clear statement
of intent that the situation has to change, to
recruiting the help and support of family and friends.
Morale-boosting tips encourage flagging parents to
persevere with the approach, and the book concludes with
a detailed case study, demonstrating the significant
results that can be achieved.This book has been designed
specifically for parents and caregivers, and is a must
for anyone who wishes to contain, counter and positively
re-direct the aggression they face from children in
distress, bringing about deep-felt and lasting
change. |
