Story Behind The Book

Reviews

I have been reading parenting books for years. The book teaches how parents can assist instead of disrupting the child's natural process of learning. Permit a child the consequences of their own mistakes when they are young and they will learn not to make big, life changing mistakes when they are adults. Become a friend and respected confidant to your child whose opinion he respects. There are excellent, real life accounts of how to apply the techniques. <br /><br />To avoid a power struggle with my son who didn't want to put on his clothes or coat for a 5 minute ride home from my sister's house, I used Parenteen principles. On a cold January evening I carried him to the car in his underwear. Moments later, he said, &quot;I'm cold.&quot; I simply kept driving and said, ... Perhaps next time you will make a different choice?&quot; A natural instinct would be to cover him up and protect him from the cold. He was not injured in any way. By sticking to the principle, however, he learned two very important lessons: 1) mom is not kidding around, and 2) it's smart to wear your clothes and a coat. Since that evening, we have not struggled to get dressed. Try it! <br /><br />The philosophies of authors are very similar--offering many sanity saving alternatives to yelling, bribing, threatening, criticing, and nagging that we often resort to at our wits' end. This book is helpful, humorous and worth keeping handy for when you need some quick advice or just some empathy on one of those really bad days when you think you are about to lose your mind!
