Summary
Current child-rearing techniques seek to develop children who are confident, self-assured, and unafraid to speak their minds-lions instead of lambs. Although largely positive, this shift has brought with it some very serious problems in our children's behavior. Without going back to an authoritarian model, Joe Newman has developed new ways of helping children develop the ability to self-regulate without undermining their confidence, and individuality.
“One of the best books on child-rearing. Joe Newman describes a cultural shift that has reinforced anxiety and behavior disorders in children by negating parental authority. Even more important, he provides specific, non-punitive ways for parents to help their kids by taking back their authority. Filled with examples and experiences from the author’s own life as a child with A.D.H.D., the book is a treasure-trove of useful information.” (Barry Michels, psychotherapist and New York Times bestselling author of The Tools)
“This book is packed with useful information. It is an insightful and practical guide for managing children. I would recommend it to any parent.” (L. Alan Sroufe, Professor Emeritus Ph.D. University of Minnesota)
Raising Lions challenges us to re-examine our interactions and relationships with children, re-think the root causes of behavior problems, and find new ways to support healthy, happy development.
For over 20 years Joe Newman has worked with children, parents, teachers, and administrators to help them understand and improve child behavior.

Cause and effect - fab!
Loved this - firm foundation for consequence based parenting to raise strong willed children. My toddler is already taking the lessons on board through practise of Joe's teachings.

The simple concepts of this book could make the world a more better place. The omnipotent identity is something I never thought of… until now! Thanks

Very insightful
I have two young, very rambunctious sons who often spiral out of control and I found is book to be really insightful. They are just boys who love and fight with each other equally. I started practicing the tools and techniques and they are responding so well. I don’t shout at them all day long any more and they are settling themselves a lot faster.
Great book

Valid points, light bulb moments and a must read
a must listen for anyone who interacts with children, parents, teachers, carers. so much sense, practical, realistic advice and proven results. since listening to this book my household is a much calmer, cooperative one and that is down to the changes i have made to my parenting and the change in my outlook on the subject. i only wish this audio book was part of the teacher training plan as I feel it would hugely benefit the overall classroom experience.

Amazing book
I recommend anyone with children. Who works with children or is thinking about it should read this book. I feel like I’ve learned so much about not only what my child wants and needs but how I’ve been failing to meet those demands.

Very insightful and gives me a new perspective
I discussed some of the learnings from this. On with my wife and she’s not convinced it’s a good method. I am keen to try it but feel I need to ensure I am well prepared for when I do and consistent. Key is to ensure we enable our children to feel loved and self regulate as we do it so they learn in a positively reinforcing way as opposed to building resentments or suppress their emotions or choices. It will be hard but I think some good frameworks here to try out.
