Description

WANT A PEACEFUL HOME? This practical, effective guide for parents with kids of all ages introduces proven principles for overcoming the stress and anxiety of parenting, forged in the personal trenches of countless Screamfree families.
 
If you’re like most parents, what you want right now is pretty simple: an effective plan for getting your kids to behave and be happy. You’re probably looking for something else as well – something a little deeper. Like many other parents all over the world, you want to know you’re doing a good job. You want to feel like you can handle anything. You want to feel confident, competent, and hopeful for the future, for both your kids and yourself. (Oh, and along the way, you’d like a little peace, quiet, and respect as well.)

All of the above are possible, even probable, if you can learn to become “Screamfree.” You can have the structured, rewarding home life you’ve always craved, with respectful kids who are responsible for their own actions. All you have to do is learn to pause, so you can respond more and react less. It really is that simple. Once you learn to control your own emotions and behavior, your children will soon learn how to control theirs.

Now is your chance to join thousands of other parents in a movement of calmer parenting. The new, revised edition includes updated practical applications of the foundational Screamfree principles, a new chapter on parenting in the digital age, and a comprehensive Q&A section dealing with everything from behavioral problems to allowances and chores. A peaceful home is closer than you think.

    This is an excellent book! A must read for any parent or parent to be. You owe it to yourself, to your spouse and to your kids to read this book. There are no gimmicks or tricks to raising kids. The author does an amazing job on explaining what he calls ScreamFree Parenting. He also stays very real through out the whole book: as you read you can feel and understand where he is coming from. It never feels like is trying to sell you a quick fix nor do you feel that he is just giving a spiel. It is a great read and it should be part of your collection!

    Hi..just wanted to add my two cents. I heard a repeat broadcast on Sirius xm doctor radio with you on as a special guest. I only heard about 15 minutes of the show, but it left me wanting to learn more about your ideas. I downloaded the book and finished it in a few hours...I think it may have changed my life. I am hoping that it, or I will change my life. I know most of the mistakes I am making, but feel I know have a strategy. I will keep you updated, I want to say thank you, but feel it might be inadequate. Joan Downes
