In this easy-to-read, science-based book, parents, caregivers, and
adults of all kinds discover how discipline affects children’s
development, why intervention should reinforce connection not
separation, and why the disciplinary strategies that may have been
used on us as children are not the ones that children really need.
As a practicing child and family psychologist and advisor to the
British Columbia ministry of children and families, Dr. Vanessa has
seen it all, and she has navigated hundreds of tough situations
with families. Drawing on scientific research and a wealth of
clinical experience, she shows you how to put out the fire without
dampening your child’s spirits; how to correct their behavior
while emphasizing connection; and how to discipline without damage.
In this book, her follow-up to the bestseller Discipline Without
Damage, Dr. Lapointe advises new parents how to put their child on
a path to optimal development during the crucial early years. The
baby and toddler years are the most important period for any
child's emotional and psychological development. Parents naturally
want to do what's best for their kids, but they often struggle to
know what that is, especially when dealing with the big
"battlegrounds" of sleep, feeding, and managing aggression. The
latest scientific research indicates that it is through a strong
and stable sense of connection to their parents that children learn
how to regulate their emotions, master social skills, and develop a
sense of identity. Unfortunately, many of the currently accepted
parenting practices and traditional attitudes disrupt healthy
connection rather than foster it, leading to behavioral issues and
emotional problems that can last into adulthood. Dr. Lapointe helps
parents to understand how mindful and conscious parenting can help
them to avoid passing unhealthy patterns down from one generation
to the next. Rooted in compassion and understanding, Parenting
Right From the Start shows parents how to build a firm, caring
presence in the early years that a child can lean into for a
lifetime.
