Book Description
No one's children are well behaved all the time. While it may be a thankless task, being a good parent involves knowing how and when to administer discipline. Yet the majority of books on the subject merely apply band-aids to specific problems, failing to provide readers with an overarching philosophy on discipline that will see them through any situation. The Discipline Miracle presents a comprehensive approach centered around three fundamental principles: * Be a safe harbor. Give the child a sense of security by being dependable, responsive, and emotionally available. * Be a good boss. Insist on appropriate rules that will make children feel safe, and teach them to use self-control. * Prepare kids for the real world. Give them what they need (boundaries, rules, and consequences), not just what they want. The Discipline Miracle will help readers be the best parents they can be -- and raise the best kids. Used consistently, these principles can make the difference between momentary lapses in behavior and continuous problems that can affect children throughout their lives. The Discipline Miracle provides a unique framework for raising happy, well-adjusted children, and is an essential addition to the bookshelf of every parent.
