As a new parent, I am just beginning to read up child development, discipline, and parenting. This short book gets right to the point and gives parents twelve key strategies that will help them parent their kids without losing it. The twelve strategies are:
1: Connect and Redirect: Connect emotionally, redirect logically
2: Name It To Tame It: Taming emotions through storytelling
3: Engage, Don't Enrage: Appeal to logic and planning, not to emotion
4: Use It Or Lose It: Encourage planning, thinking, and other left-brain activities
5: Move It Or Lose It: Body over mind method to restore balance
6: Use The Remote Of The Mind: Teaching your child to view his/her memories while maintaining control
7: Remember To Remember: Exercise memory often
8: Let The Clouds of Emotion Roll By: Teaching your kids about temporary feelings
9: SIFT: Using sensation, image, feeling, and thought to help your child understand
10: Exercise Mindsight: Focusing with your mind (For more on this, see one of the author's other books, Mindsight: The New Science of Personal Transformation
11: Increase The Family Fun Factor: The science behind building in fun family times
12: Connect Through Conflict: Turning conflict into opportunity
Some of the things I really liked about this book include:
* Cartoon explanations and demonstrations of each point. Very helpful.
