If I Have to Tell You One More Time...: The Revolutionary Program That Gets Your Kids to Listen without Nagging, Reminding or Ye

Description

Why does it feel sometimes as if our children have special powers that enable them to tune us out completely? You ask your child to do her homework, get ready for school or bedtime. You think she heard you but...no response. You tried everything - time-outs, nagging, counting to three - and nothing seems to work. In this invaluable book, founder of the popular online parenting course, Postive Parenting Solutions, Amy McCready presents a nag and scream-free programme for compassionately, yet effectively, correcting your childs behaviour. In IF I HAVE TO TELL YOU ONE MORE TIME...McCready draws on Adlerian psychology, which focuses on the central idea that every human being has a basic need to feel powerful - children being no exception to the rule. According to McCready, when this need isn't met in positive ways, kids resort to negative methods. She provides parents with a virtual toolbox that they can use to give their children the power they crave - and do away with the misbehaving that adults dread.

Amy McCready is the founder of Positive Parenting Solutions and reaches a worldwide audience with her online parenting course.
