Most parenting guides begin with the question “How can we get kids to do what they’re told?”–and then proceed to offer various techniques for controlling them. In this truly groundbreaking book, nationally respected educator Alfie Kohn begins instead by asking “What do kids need–and how can we meet those needs?” What follows from that question are ideas for working with children rather than doing things to them.

One basic need all children have, Kohn argues, is to be loved unconditionally, to know that they will be accepted even if they screw up or fall short. Yet conventional approaches to parenting such as punishments (including “time-outs”), rewards (including positive reinforcement), and other forms of control teach children that they are loved only when they please us or impress us. Kohn cites a body of powerful, and largely unknown, research detailing the damage caused by leading children to believe they must earn our approval. That’s precisely the message children derive from common discipline techniques, even though it’s not the message most parents intend to send.

More than just another book about discipline, though, Unconditional Parenting addresses the ways parents think about, feel about, and act with their children. It invites them to question their most basic assumptions about raising kids while offering a wealth of practical strategies for shifting from “doing to” to “working with” parenting–including how to replace praise with the unconditional support that children need to grow into healthy, caring, responsible people. This is an eye-opening, paradigm-shattering book that will reconnect readers to their own best instincts and inspire them to become better parents.

Don t throw out the baby with the bathwater!

Ahhhh, the 1940s and 50s . . . a time when parents everywhere strove for the American Dream manicured lawns, a shiny car in the driveway, and perfect children playing in the yard. Raising kids was simpler back then, or was it?

“How many parents have found themselves thinking: “”I can’t believe I just said to my child the very thing my parents used to say to me. . . . Am I just destined to repeat the mistakes of my parents?”" In Parenting from the Inside Out child psychiatrist Daniel J. Siegel, M.D., and early childhood educator Mary Hartzell, M. Ed., explore the extent to which our childhood experiences actually do shape the way that we parent. Drawing upon stunning new findings in neurobiology and attachment research, they explain how interpersonal relationships directly impact the development of the brain, and offer parents a step-by-step approach to forming a deeper understanding of their own life stories that will help them raise compassionate and resilient children. In this book, Siegel and Hartzell present a unique perspective on the “”art and science”" of building nurturing relationships with our children. Born out of a series of workshops for parents that combined Siegel’s cutting-edge research on how communication impacts brain development with Hartzell’s thirty years of experience as a child development specialist and parent educator, Parenting from the Inside Out guides parents through creating the necessary foundations for a loving and secure relationship with their children.”

Is your life chaotic? Are your kids running the show? Do you feel like you’re more of a zookeeper than a parent?

Take heart, America. When your family’s in trouble, Nanny 911 is there on the double. Because brats are not born, they’re made. No one knows that better than Deborah Carroll and Stella Reid — Nanny Deb and Nanny Stella — the stars of the overnight hit television show on Fox network.

EFFECTIVE PARENTING-WITHOUT THE POWER STRUGGLES.

As parents, you have only a few years to prepare your children for a world that requires responsibility and maturity for survival. That thought alone can send shivers down your parental spine!

So what do you do? Hover over your kids so they never make mistakes? Drill them so they’ll remember the important principles when you’re on their own? Tear your hair out, wondering if teaching them responsibility is anything but a battle of wills?

According to Jim Fay, one of America’s top educational consultants, and Dr. Foster Cline, a trend-setting child and adult psychiatrist, parents who try to ensure their children’s success often raise unsuccessful kids. Responsibility is like anything else-it has to be learned through practice.

If you want to raise kids who are self-confident, motivated, and ready for the real world, take advantage of the win-win approach to parenting. Your kids will win because they’ll learn responsibility and the logic of life by solving their own problems. And you’ll win because you’ll establish healthy control-without resorting to anger, threats, nagging, or exhausting power struggles.

Parenting with Love and Logic puts the fun back into parenting!

“Parents consistently tell us they wish they had known about love and logic earlier. This common sense approach gives parents a tangible hope that they can still influence their kids.”-Dave Funk, staff development coordinator, New Berlin Public Schools, Wisconsin

“I have been a principal for four years now and have used these methods with great success. Thank you for all the creative ideas.”-Steven B. Vande Ven, principal, Sherrelwood Elementary School, Denver, Colorado

“I’m continually amazed at how well these principles work, not only with children, but with parents and other adults. It’s great to get away from punishment and anger and into love and logic.”-Sharon Alexander, principal, Disnard Elementary School, Claremont, New Hampshire

“I really believe that this material can benefit every parent. I have never enjoyed my children more. Parenting has become fun, and stress and anger no longer dominate my life.”-Pam L. Tourigny, group home foster parent, Snelling, California

“Parenting with Love and Logic meets with wonderful results. For the first time in four years, we’re making progress in the right direction with our teenager.”-Billie Leafgreen, parent, Lander, Wyoming
