Screamfree Parenting
Cherisse Harris said: If you're wondering how to get your children to do what you asked -- the first time -- and without raising your voice, read this book. Hal Runkel LMFT says the key to calmer parenting is learning to pause. When you pause, you respond more and react less; and your children will respond better when they know you have control over your own emotions. Runkel discusses other Screamfree principles, as well, to effectively show parents how to peacefully cope with the stressors of parenting.
