Title: A Life Saver
Product review: This book is phenomenal. I've read alot of parenting books, and this is one that my husband and I both found to be extrememely effective with our little boys.My favorite concepts are acknowledging kids' feelings, helping them problem solve, and describing a problem instead of accusing. Just by doing these three things we have stopped time-outs all together, a practice which wasn't helping us at all.The best part is that I can see them becoming the people I want them to be. They are learning the tools to work through their strong feelings and to resolve issues with their family and friends.The other day I lost my patience with my 5 year old, and started to yell. He told me that I was hurting his feelings and that maybe we could both meditate to calm down. I was stunned, and happy to go along with his solution.The funniest thing is that I've been using a lot of these tools on adults who are upset and it works like a charm.
