Product Description
Product Description
This is a practical guide for parents on how to raise a child who can understand and control his or her emotions. It explains a child's different emotional needs at different ages, and shows parents how to help their children calm themselves down, how to focus their attention, how to give their children better emotional support through difficult times, such as divorce, and offers simple tools and techniques for parents to evaluate and improve on their own emotional parenting styles. Specific and positive advice is interspersed with case studies and anecdotes throughout. A five-step process of "emotional coaching" is presented for parents to follow. Questionnaires enable parents to evaluate their style of "emotional parenting". The book is based on a study of 100 families over a ten-year period. John Gottman is the author of "Why Marriages Succeed or Fail".

Format:Paperback
Gottman explains how through the simple process of helping your child identify and express his feelings communication and happiness can be increased in the family, and conflict minimised.
The style is factual, scientifically backed up and not at all patronising. This book is the one I turn to for a reminder whenever I find I don't know how to deal with my child effectively or when we seem to be in a pattern of repeating horrible, unproductive scenes.

Format:Paperback
This book tells you just what is important about being a parent. I love the scientific approach and the way data is presented. It is capable of giving those of us who see the world of parenting as functional and spontaneous a totally new perspective based on care, deep understanding, consideration and thoughtfulness. The importance of good guidance is explained in terms of "coaching". This book was a real eye opener for me and probably the best I have ever read. I am moved to change.
Format:Hardcover
This book is a must have for any professional working with families and for parents wishing to give the child/ren the best start in life. An easy to read book that has lots of practical advice on dealing with our emotions and the power of love etc.
