Reseña del libro "Effective Parenting Strategies (en Inglés)"
You might win the argument and still lose the child.The slammed door. The ignored instruction.The phone you asked for three times. The bedtime that turns into a battle sphere...In the heat of it, most parents reache for the same question: “How do I make my child behave?”That, is the wrong question, and it keeps you, parents, fighting the same fights.In this book, Dr. Richie Adewusi asks a different question. One question that changes everything...,“What does my child need to learn from this moment?”That is because, in Effective Parenting Strategies: The Power of Positive Discipline, discipline means teaching. It joins connection with correction, warmth with firmness, and compassion with accountability, helping children learn to make good choices when nobody is watching.Drawing on years of counselling, coaching and personal experience as a parent and grandparent, Dr. Adewusi presents practical principles that adapt to different temperaments, developmental stages and family circumstances.Rather than focusing only on stopping unwanted behaviour, the book helps parents understand what may be behind a behavior, and respond in ways that build character, emotional intelligence and responsibility.At the heart of the book is one guiding question...,What kind of person am I raising?WHAT YOU WILL FIND INSIDEWhy control and fear fall short of building character.How temperament and developmental stages influence behaviour.How to distinguish what a child will not do from what a child cannot yet do.Ways to correct behaviour while protecting your child’s identity and inner voice.How to establish firm boundaries that communicate care and security.How to help children manage anger, fear, sadness and disappointment.How to respond when discipline becomes difficult or emotions run high.How to repair the relationship after you lose your patience.A practical 30-day action plan and end-of-chapter reflections.WHO SHOULD READ ITParents and prospective parents of toddlers, school-age children and teenagers; grandparents, guardians and caregivers; teachers and school leaders; counsellors and parenting educators; and faith communities and youth organisations serving families.WHAT BEHAVIOURAL PROFESSIONALS ARE SAYING ABOUT THIS BOOK”…it has my strongest recommendation and endorsement.”Charles Uwakwe, PhD, Professor of Counselling and Health Psychology, University of Ibadan“Perhaps most importantly, the book reminds parents that parenting is a long game.”Oyewole O.
