It’s true: world-renowned psychologists like Thomas Gordon and Russell Barkley have already theorized and proposed strategies for communicating effectively and positively with their children and \/ or students. What is different then in this volume? Gianluca Daffi takes great inspiration from these figures and transforms their research and theories into a streamlined, simple and practical guide ready for use<\/strong>. Aimed at parents of children aged 6 to 11, the volume aims to help mum and dad face and solve the main daily challenges by focusing on a constructive approach and thus establishing a positive relationship with their children.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Every day, parents of children aged 6 to 11<\/strong> (but even younger and older!) find themselves having to resolve mini-conflicts with their children: from the struggle to get them out of bed in the morning to having them go to sleep early in the evening, from fusses made to avoid homework to those made to get something at the supermarket or not to tidy up your room. This guide reviews 20 of the most common problems facing parents of children in this age group.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    Very often parents react to their children\u2019s negative behaviors by reproaching them, giving them orders or, on the contrary, giving in to them in order to calm them down and solve the problem quickly.  However, these reactions do not help to resolve the situation and, especially in the long term, complicate family relationships.<\/p>\n

    Each of the 20 problems listed can be addressed by adopting a ‘positive approach’. <\/strong>There is a chapter dedicated to each problematic situation, written in a well-organized way according to 6 points:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • What we usually do: <\/em>parents\u2019 classic actions\/reactions.<\/li>\n
    • The parents\u2019 difficulties: <\/em>explanation of the discomfort of parents, who often do not know what to do.<\/li>\n
    • Thoughts to keep under control: <\/em>what are the attitudes to avoid.<\/em><\/li>\n
    • The strengths of the child: <\/em>to be kept in mind, always. <\/li>\n
    • What to do: <\/em>the \u201cheart\u201d of the book is found here in the suggestions, inspired by finding balance, patience, and at the same time consistency, knowing that a great reaction on the parent\u2019s part will eventually result in great results.<\/li>\n
    • …and if it does<\/em>n\u2019t work?: <\/em>further, practical advice to address that specific problem with other simple strategies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
