Calm Parents, Happy Kids is the UK version of Dr Laura Markham's
hugely successful and ground-breaking book, Peaceful Parent, Happy
Kids. Now adapted for UK audiences, this practical and inspiring
book reveals a three step programme that will transform family
life. Most parenting books focus on changing a child's behaviour,
but the truth is that children only change when their relationship
with their parents changes. In Calm Parents, Happy Kids, Dr Laura
Markham introduces an approach to parenting that eliminates
threats, power struggles and manipulation, in favour of setting
limits with empathy and communication. Bringing together the latest
research in brain development with a focus on emotional awareness
(for both parents and children), it will appeal to all parents who
don't want to force their children into compliance and lose their
temper, but want to keep calm and help their children want to
behave.
Children pay close attention to their parents' moods. When
parents feel upset, their kids may become anxious, and when parents
wind down, children also get the chance to relax. When you feel
overwhelmed and stressed, it can be hard to help your child feel
balanced. The Relaxation & Stress Reduction Workbook for Kids,
written by two child therapists, offers more than fifty activities
you can do together as a family to help you and your child replace
stressful and anxious feelings with feelings of optimism,
confidence, and joy.
You'll learn proven relaxation techniques, including deep
breathing, guided imagery, mindfulness, and yoga, and then receive
guidance for teaching them to your child. Your child will also
discover how taking time to do art and creative projects can create
a sense of fulfillment and calm. By completing just one ten-minute
activity from this workbook each day, you'll make relaxation a
family habit that will stay with both you and your child for a
lifetime.
Move Beyond Time Management Become a Time Master Have you tried the
latest time management techniques and still feel overwhelmed? Are
you fed up with having to 'think' about prioritising, decision
making and squeezing things in? Do you wish life would just flow
better? Then this is the book for you. This book will allow you to
master your own time and not be controlled by other people's
priorities. Understand how your own preferences, style and
interests impact how you use your time and be able to: -
Incorporate simple changes in your day to day activities that give
you back control. - Learn how other people see time and how you can
use that to help them become more efficient and effective. - Make
the most of your time for the things that are important to you.
Whether you want to get more done at work, delegate better, manage
the priorities at home or just spend more time doing things that
bring you joy, Karen and John will help you develop an approach to
time that is efficient and fits with your unique personality.
