Mental Wellness Parenting: A remarkably simple approach to making parenting easier (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781492252238)

"Mental Wellness Counseling - A remarkably simple approach to making parenting easier" is the book that you should have been given after you left the hospital. You already have many of the skills in this book, it is just learning how to reapply them to make life easier. Joseph R. Sanok is a counselor, therapist, father, and lover of life. Here's how he frames the conversation: "This all started when I wouldn't go to bed. I wanted to watch the train go by our house and stay up for Fraggle Rock. I was four. My father, a psychologist, and my mother, a nurse, knew that sleep was tied to brain development and behavior. Also I'm sure they wanted some alone time. They started a sticker chart for me to 'earn something from the store.' I didn't know what the 'something' was, but as a four-year-old, I had no means to get anything. I gained a sense of power and control over my situation. When the day finally came, my father took me to the grocery store. I didn't even know my options. Then he said, 'What about a sword? Every boy needs a sword.' Of course, clearly every boy does need a sword. The primary male in my life was telling me that this was something a boy needed. I was a boy, he was a man, he must know, so of course I then wanted it. It was that, the first moment of mindful positive reinforcement that started my parents on a path of clear expectations, consequences, and behavioral ups and downs. A sword frames my story. Really it is not the sword, but the sticker habit that guided my behavior. Whether you are launching or improving your parenting, this e-book will help you get to the next level. Thanks for joining me in the journey." With humor, stories, and quick action items you can change how you parent today with remarkable ease
