Your Two-Week Guide to a Dramatically Improved Life with Your Challenging Child Downloading Instructions
Emily is on the phone, telling me of her plight with her nine-year-old. “I am at the end of my rope. My daughter is headed for danger if this behavior keeps up. I have tried everything I know to get her to comply, but nothing works! She is defiant at every turn, and last night she got physical with me when I told her she couldn’t bake cookies at 9 p.m. She was hitting, pulling my hair, kicking and trying to bite me. I am starting to feel afraid of my own child!”
If you are the parent of an intense child, you want acceptable behavior from him, but find that the traditional techniques have simply not worked. Repeating yourself (nicely and not-so-nicely), making your voice louder, adding emotion to your interactions, forcing the child to his room, grounding, and restricting other freedoms, have actually made the situation worse. Every time you try a new tactic, the child raises the bar and matches or exceeds your level of intensity with her own. With this guidebook, you will learn how to gain control of your child’s behavior using proven techniques that avoid the previous pitfalls. We will use the techniques from my own Present-Moment Parenting, which provides a jump-start in applying principles from Howard Glasser’s book, Transforming the Difficult Child: The Nurtured Heart Approach.
