Summary

Jane Nelsen, coauthor of the popular Positive Discipline series, along with positive discipline educators Joy Marchese and Kristina Bill, put forth a new volume for parents looking to make their overburdened lives a little easier.

With the increasing pressure to excel at parenting, work, and personal relationships, it's easy to feel stressed and dissatisfied. This targeted positive discipline guide gives parents the tools to parent effectively without sacrificing their well-being or giving up on their life goals. Instead of creating unachievable expectations, parents will learn how to play to their strengths at work and at home. Attitude is key - if you feel confident in your parenting abilities and at your job, your children are more likely to adopt an attitude of self-reliance and cooperation. Using wisdom based on the positive discipline philosophy, busy parents will be able to avoid pampering and keep permissive and punitive parenting at bay, fostering a happy, successful home life. 

With tried and true communication approaches at their fingertips to aid in work-life integration, moms (and dads!) won't have to feel guilty about leaving their child with a sitter during the day, or leaving work early to go to a soccer game. Parents will also learn how to balance out their "wheel of life" and adopt coping strategies when life feels a bit too overwhelming.

Includes a PDF of charts and an appendix from the book.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Critic reviews

"As a progressive educator, school leader, and parent of twin boys, I find Nelsen, Bill, and Marchese's advice to be as timeless as it is timely, as profound as it is simple, and as inspiring as it is instructive. The authors give us permission to humanize both ourselves and our children, and they remind us that effective parenting involves being with rather than doing to our kids." (Ed Lippard, EdD, dean of Children's Programs and head of the School for Children at Bank Street College of Education)

"This is a welcome book for all parents juggling work and raising children. With an understanding of the complexities of career and families, the authors address what matters most for children - to be understood and nurtured, especially when they are having a hard time. This caring and straightforward approach will help parents know what their children need and empower them to stay connected while providing appropriate limits." (Tovah P. Klein, PhD, executive director, Barnard College Center for Toddler Development)

"Now more than ever, it is critical that parents impart in their children an intrinsic and upbeat tool kit for self-discipline, empathy and developing character. Positive Discipline for Today’s Busy (and Overwhelmed) Parent is a compassionate, practical, and psychologically grounded guide for parents who are eager to stay connected to their children in real life, helping them face life challenges with self-control and optimism." (Dr. Catherine Steiner-Adair, author of The Big Disconnect:  Protecting Childhood and Family Relationships in the Digital Age)
