Book excerpt: Everyone has heard about how children go through the "Terrible Twos." What if you were to find out that this frustrating behavior has order in it? That the "misbehavior" comes and goes in a predictable way, and each cycle brings with it an amazing new transformation? In this groundbreaking book, Amber Domoradzki presents her research which found that toddlers go through 12 predictable cycles between the ages of 18 months and 3 years old. During each cycle, they fall apart for a period of time, becoming whiny, possessive, jealous, angry, clumsy, or confused, but then have a dramatic burst of new ability. In this book you'll find, for each milestone, expanded details about each, ways to handle the difficult behavior, and activities to help develop toddlers' enormous mental growth. Discover why you can expect a huge meltdown around 2 years, 7 months when you try to leave the park: because the child is coming to their first understanding that there is a past, present, and future. Learn about the many new exciting abilities that develop in the toddler years, including reasoning capability, empathy, and a sense of right and wrong. The goal of "Misbehavior is Growth" is to help you see these age-related behaviors not as times of disrespect or naughtiness but as developmentally critical times to respond to with love, connection, and guidance. Each milestone is not just a time of difficulty to get through but a great investment opportunity to teach a child a new skill. Using this approach, instead of fighting the "misbehavior," you can playfully roll with it and use the understanding of your child's new development to your child's and your family's great advantage.

Book excerpt: What is going on with three year olds is so much more than meets the eye. This book series, Misbehavior is Growth, documents the age-related stages that children go through. These are times when children fall apart, becoming demanding, clingy, whiny, or aggressive. But on other side of this "stage" is an astonishing new skill set. Their brain was going through an "upgrade." This book offers the popular summaries, as for three year olds, as seen at The Observant Mom. In addition, it offers, for each milestone, detailed analysis, conflict resolution ideas, and ways to nurture the growth.So much grows mentally in children aged three: their ability to get around new places; their ability to categorize, use, and compare large amounts of data. What is most important, though, as argued, is core personality integration. Three year olds develop a conscious idea of who they are as a person, making this one of the most sensitive times of their entire development. And in all this, their wild imaginations, the famous monsters they see in their closet, may play a bigger role than we truly know. This research overwhelmingly proves what so many have tried to say: children are more like flowers that unfold than clay to mold. There is a biologically determined apparatus that does the lion's share of mental growth. We couldn't stop it if we tried! Let's get this otherwise unstoppable wave that is their development. The idea behind Misbehavior is Growth is that these age-related behaviors are an instinctual call from children to adults so that adults come to them at developmentally critical times. Thus, don't "ignore" the stages. Lean into them as the investment opportunity they are! It's not misbehavior: it's growth!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In just thirty days, you can get children to behave the way you want them to. Whether their misbehavior is as minor as letting the dishes pile up and the trash overflow or as traumatic as a drug habit and stealing, Back in Control will enable you to set and enforce rules that your kids will obey. Back in Control is based on a highly successful program that has helped thousands of parents regain control over their children. Without compromising your values away or kicking the kids out of the house, it offers you the simplest, most effective method of childhood discipline to date. It presents a three-step formula that is perfect for virtually any adult wanting to control children's misbehavior. Instead of getting caught up in children's arguments and manipulations, Back in Control shows parents how to reestablish their rightful place as bosses of the family. Teachers are able to devote more time to teaching than to disciplining students. Probation officers and social workers working with parents, in addition to managing their caseloads more effectively, are able to permanently stop children from abusing drugs or alcohol, stealing, running away from home, and being truant. Children themselves learn that there are some rules they must obey, whether they want to or not, and they will grow up believing that they can succeed in doing what is required of them. Power belongs to those who use it. And if you don't, your children will. If your children's problem behavior is out of hand, it's time you got Back in Control.

Download or read book Positive Discipline written by Jane Nelsen and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE KEY TO DISCIPLINE IS NOT PUNISHMENT, BUT MUTUAL RESPECT All parents try to do their best--but the best of intentions don't always produce the best results. Dr. Jane Nelsen, an experienced psychologist, educator, and mother, believes that children misbehave when they feel thwarted in their need to belong and in their need for love and attention. An authoritative approach, using phrases like " Because I said so!" , will only lead to rebellious behavior. Instead, parents need basic principles that bring them and their children closer. They need Positive Discipline. Dr. Nelsen explains that parents who use kindness and firmness to teach life skills will encourage self-respect, self-discipline, cooperation, good behavior, and problem-solving skills in their children. In Positive Discipline, revised and updated for the '90s, she shows all of us, parents and teachers alike, exactly how her practical program works--answering, step-by-step, such important questions as: *What works better than punishment to teach children positive, good behavior? *What mistakes do most parents make " in the name of love" ? *How can parents turn their mistakes into assets? *How can praise be dangerous? *What are the dangers of trying to be " Super Mom" ? *How can teachers avoid discipline problems in the classroom? " It is positive! It works! It saves your sanity! And it is easy to share with others." --Julie Pope, Parent Sacramento, CA " As a parent and psychotherapist, I have found enormous value and practical wisdom in Positive Discipline. It conveys a win/win atmosphere for parents and children. The techniques are so easy tolearn and fun to use...Anyone following these concepts will see almost instant results and big smiles on the faces of their children." --Katherine Dusay, Psychotherapist San Francisco, CA
