When our youngest child went off to college, the school's president told us that many parents cannot let go. They call before, during and after every class. They help out with homework over the Internet. They want to hear about every stumble and bruise. The parents act like they are students in terms of how often they contact advisors and administrators on their children's behalf.
You can imagine what these kids are going to be like when their parents are ill or die. They'll feel like the world has ended. Is that any way to be a parent?
At the opposite end, you see parents going nuts because their two-year-old drops a spoon on the floor in a restaurant... again... and again... and again. We've all been there. We've all wanted to go nuts. But it's not good for anyone if you do.
ScreamFree Parenting gives you solid, realistic advice for how to handle those years from 2-18 so that your children end up the way you would like them to be... as themselves in a responsible life... and not as robots ordered around by you.
Hal Runkel does a good job of explaining how setting limits, letting children make mistakes and learn, and being calm make for a wonderful difference. I was reminded of the importance of calm last week when our local high school put on a one act play written by the students that described a 9 year-old girl being driven crazy by her parents' fights. Calm is good for children. They will eventually learn calmness from you... if you are a good role model.
Last but not least is its relevance to the Chinese parenting environment. Perhaps the Chinese parents need the author's advice a lot more than their Western counterparts simply because of the one-child policy and according parenting culture. We really doubt how many young Chinese parents truly know what is the best way to express love to their kids. The mainstream way of raising kids only ends up making them incapable of being responsible and over time it only reduces the competitiveness of the nation.

From Publisher
Start Revolution In Your Family...Tonite!
Every kid wants to have cool parents. This does not mean parents hip to the latest styles, nor parents with no rules whatsoever. What every kid really wants are parents who are able to keep their cool no matter what. Kids want parents who are far less anxious and far more levelheaded than they are. Your kids want you to remain unflappable, even when they flip out.
Turns out, that’s exactly what they need.
Screamfree Parenting is the principle-based relationship approach that’s inspiring parents everywhere to truly revolutionize their families. Throwing away many of the child-centered technique-based approaches, the ScreamFree way compels you to instead focus on yourself, grow yourself up and calm yourself down. By calming down and still remaining connected to your kids, you begin to operate less out of your deepest fears and more out of your highest principles, transforming your relationships in the process.

My husband and I used to have very different parenting styles. He would lose his cool and scream and I would let them do whatever they wanted to do. After reading this book, we're definitely more on the same page. We found another book on Amazon that helps you to communicate better - but with a twist. It helps you communicate much better with your spouse about how to raise your kids, from before birth until empty nest. It's called The Parenting Game Plan. Negotiate, Compromise and Explore the Parenting Journey Together. A Unique Workbook to Help New and Expectant Parents by Katie B. Marsh. |
