Raising Happy Children (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781928201168)

Parenting in the 21st century is easy and exciting, yet challenging and demanding. We now know more about how our children's brains develop than we've ever known before and this has profound implications for how we raise our children. Children develop strong brain connections and feel happy when they learn how to control their bodies, manage big overwhelming feelings and develop their thinking skills. These important skills come more easily for some than for others - which also means that there is no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to parenting. Filled with stories, examples and easy to understand analogies, Raising Happy Children will help you understand: - What is going on inside your child's developing body and brain; - Your child's true nature and how this affects the way he thinks, feels and behaves. You'll also find lots of fun games you can play during your day-to-day interaction - crucial in the development of your child's ability to regulate his body and develop his thinking in the midst of big, overwhelming feelings. In this book, Lizanne also gives step-by-step ways to deal with some of the most common parenting struggles, as they relate to your unique child, such as: - Meltdowns - Temper tantrums - Fears, anxieties and stress Once you understand your unique child, you'll be ready to set appropriate boundaries and put rituals and routines in place that will guarantee a calm, happy and deeply connected family.
