New Book Empowers the Parent Generation on Life's Issues
Wilmette, IL (PRWeb) February 23, 2007 -- Teaching how any parent can become stronger and more confident in controlling their life, a new book titled Parent Smart From the Heart empowers parents. Learn how giving consequences does not have to mean punishment. Imagine a more respectful way to parent and how that can have a positive effect on the entire family.
This book addresses numerous issues by giving different suggestions for every parent to consider. Some topics include:
Parenting Values - Live your values, become proactive and have a plan for parenting. How many of us really plan what legacy we want to leave or pass on to our children?
Taking care of yourself - What a concept-taking time for yourself. How come so many people believe this is selfish? Shouldn't the children come first? The answer to this is no! To have a stronger foundation, put yourself first, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Imagine taking care of everyone's needs but your own. When your children leave home, what will you have built for yourself?
Handling your anger - we do recommend not parenting through fear and intimidation. Many parents tell us that parenting works using intimidation. Let's see if it still works when their children are teenagers and in their twenties. The relationship may not be as solid as they like and chance's are the child will need therapy for their anger issues.
Addressing one's attitude - Your attitude is your ticket to the world. Do you agree or disagree? How you look at situations depends on one's attitude. Do you concentrate on solutions or concentrate on the problems? Do you look at the good or the bad in each situation? Is the world open to you or do you feel as if it is closed? The answers to the above questions are determined by your attitude.
Looking at both positive and negative stress - Stress is an everyday occurrence and it can be positive or negative. Positive stress can be having a child, a new job, moving, or by entering school. Negative stresses can include flunking a test, divorce, being arrested, moving again, a death, or having a child. Obviously these lists can go on and on. Stress is not about what is happening or going to happen, but how you interrupt these events. Your attitude towards these events will determine if they are positive or negative.
How to set limits - Simply put, boundaries will simplify your life. Learn how, why, and when to set limits.
Three different parenting styles will be used in the stories:
The Drill Sergeant Way - where we do it my way and I mean now.
The Rescuer Way - where we want to save the child from consequences. This way they can avoid any trouble including potential learning situations.
The Teacher Way - where we're in control and we want a lesson to be taught. No yelling, no over-reacting, and no immediate consequences.
There are numerous tools on communication and building self-esteem that will help build your relationship with your children. This book emphasizes that the relationship you have with your children is more important than what you're usually fighting with your child about. From the authors of The Parent Manual, Bittersweet Moments, and Stopping School Violence comes a book loaded with common sense ideas.
