This book is accessible, science-based, and offers clear, practical advice on how to better support challenging kids and the developmental reasons why traditional approaches are ineffective and damaging. The foundation of a healthy, effective approach to discipline that respects your child’s developmental needs… and works! Written from a holistic whole-person perspective that digs deep into the root causes of behavioral issues and teaches you how to address them.

You will also learn how to help your child navigate anger and overcome feelings of powerlessness and helplessness.This offends me so much and I think it is quite contradictory coming from a professional who claims to be advocating AVOIDING making children feel shame or guilt. In this chapter you will learn what codependent parenting is the hidden signs nobody is talking about and how it impacts child development and self-esteem.

And with all of the realities that come with an immature brain in terms of behavior and emotional regulation. In this chapter I give you an important concept to use that will help you get through those tough days when parental guilt is tearing a hole in your heart.

At the end of this chapter, you will have the opportunity to put what you learned into practice with easy-to-understand strategies and exercises.
