Personal Development

You see red—they see an opportunity.

You lose control—and lose authority.

You swore you'd never say things your parent said—but you open your mouth and there they are.

You promise you won't react the same way again—but you always do....

You know the feeling. In a nano-second, a certain look, or a defiant behavior, your kid pushes your buttons and you react in parenting “road rage”.

In this beautiful, wise, and deeply insightful book, international speaker, counselor, and parenting specialist Bonnie Harris helps you discover what your buttons are, where they come from, and why your children push them. (Note: It has more to do with you than your child.) Learn the 8 steps to defusing your buttons so you can regain your authority, your sanity, and your children’s cooperation and respect.

"A wise and practical guide to more mindful and open-hearted parenting." -- Myla and Jon Kabat-Zinn, co-authors of Everyday Blessings: The Inner Work of Mindful Parenting

"This is the tai'chi of parenting books: all about how to move with the other instead of against, how to pay attention to what the other is doing before taking action. Bonnie Harris has written a book that proposes action without producing guilt, that appeals to those parents who still remember how they wish they had been treated when they were small." -- Michael Trout, Director, The Infant-Parent Institute
