Description
Occasional clashes between parents and kids are not uncommon, but when behaviour like tantrums, resistance to requests, and negativity becomes chronic, it can cause big problems. In 10 Days to a Less Defiant Child, psychologist Dr. Jeffrey Bernstein shares his ground-breaking program to help parents reduce conflict and end upsetting behaviours.
Updated to address challenges that today's parents face, this go-to guide includes new information on the rise of defiant behavior due to negative Internet influences and social media pressures, and the effects of stress on family life. Dr. Bernstein explains what causes defiance in kids, teens, and even adult children, why it's so destructive to the family, and shows parents step-by-step how they can end the behaviour--at home, at school, and everywhere in between. His proven ten-day strategies include:
* Leading with empathy to manage your own reactivity as well as your child's, and becoming your child's emotion coach to reduce feeling disrespected as a parent.
* Dealing with defiant behaviour in an era loaded with increased day-to-day anxieties due to climate change, societal and school violence.
* Managing children's behavioural struggles within increasingly complex family structures and changing societal values.
* Seventeen Cooperative Connection-Building Games for families to foster openness, trust, communication, and collaborative problem-solving.
