Do you want to raise a well-behaved, happy child but feel that common forms of discipline used today, which focus on rewarding, excluding or punishing children, don't work for your family? In The Gentle Discipline Book, Sarah Ockwell-Smith debunks many commonly held beliefs about punishment and motivation, and provides an alternative approach that will empower you to discipline your child in an effective way and with respect. Gentle discipline is not about mollycoddling your child or being a pushover - it means understanding your child, having realistic expectations of them, and responding to their misbehaviour appropriately. It focuses on teaching and learning, not punishment or rewarding. In her trademark practical style, Sarah offers solutions for coping with the most common discipline challenges, including: - whining and sulking - aggressive and destructive behaviour - not listening and refusal to do things - rudeness and backchat - sibling rivalry - lying - swearing - low self-esteem and a lack of self-confidence The advice is appropriate to a wide range of ages, from toddler to teenager, and, if you have been using more traditional form of discipline, it will give you the tools - and the confidence - to change to a more mindful approach.
England 1786. Wegen eines harmlosen Diebstahls wird die junge, mittellose Mary Broad zum Tode verurteilt. Das Schicksal scheint es gut mit ihr zu meinen, als sie bald darauf begnadigt und stattdessen auf einem Gefangenenschiff in die neuentdeckte Kolonie Englands, Australien, gebracht wird. Was zunächst eine glückliche Fügung zu sein scheint, erweist sich jedoch schnell als harte Prüfung: Die monatelange Überfahrt ist geprägt von Krankheit, Leid und Tod, und dieunmenschlichen Lebensbedingungen in Australien lassen Mary oftmals verzweifeln. Doch die tapfere Frau hat den unbändigen Willen zu überleben. Zusammen mit ein paar Verbündeten wagt sie schließlich die gefährliche Flucht - getragen einzig und allein von Hoffnung und Liebe. Basierend auf dem wahren Schicksal einer mutigen Frau, mitreißend erzählt von Englands Nr.-1-Bestsellerautorin Lesley Pearse.
