Screamfree Parenting, 10th Anniversary Revised Edition: How to Raise Amazing Adults by Learning to Pause More and React Less by Hal Runkel

5.0

I'm not a screamer, but I definitely have my (many) moments when I'm helplessly wondering what I could possibly be doing wrong as a parent because my sweet pea simply won't listen. It was helpful to have this reminder of being a role model for the adults I want my children to become, versus focusing on getting my children to conform to standards. Runkel doesn't say to let them run wild; on the contrary, he stresses the importance of space, boundaries and consistency. The goal of parenting, though, is to raise adults who will go off on their own, so consider the values and principles you want to instill. SUPER helpful and I have a feeling it will be read more than once!
