A practical, meditative approach that can be used in the moment to help stay calm and balanced when your child's behavior is pushing you to your limit--by the popular author of Simplicity Parenting.

A practical, meditative approach that can be used in the moment to help you stay calm and balanced when your child's behavior is pushing you to your limit--by the popular author of Simplicity Parenting.

When children are at their most difficult and challenging situations arise, how can we react in a way that reflects our family values and expectations? Often, when children ""push our buttons,"" we find ourselves reacting in ways that are far from our principles, often further inflaming a situation.

When our children are at their worst, they need us to be at our best-or as close to it as we can be. Educator and family counselor Kim John Payne, author of Simplicity Parenting, offers techniques that simply and directly shift these damaging patterns in communication and parental behavior. These grounded and practical strategies will help you-

.

Slow down the interaction .

Be more in control of your

reactions .

Open up a much wider range of

helpful responses .

Sense what your child's deeper

needs are even though they are misbehaving .

Respond in a way that gives your

child a feeling of being heard and still puts a boundary in place

Payne's meditative approach can be done anywhere, anytime; it lifts you out of old, unwanted patterns of action-reaction and prepares you so that the voice you speak with is closer to the parent you want to be. His concrete and simple techniques can help you, and your children, be at your best, even in the most challenging of times.
