Break Free from Reactive Parenting: Gentle-Parenting Tips, Self-Regulation Strategies, and Kid-Friendly Activities for Creating a Calm and Happy Home

Pretty much every parent has been reactive at some point. Reactive parenting encompasses the negative behaviors that stem from frustration, like yelling, threatening, screaming, and over-rewarding or bribing. It's difficult not to snap when you're overworked, overtired, and faced with a child experiencing extremely high emotions. That's where this book comes in.

Instead of repeating the same patterns, feeling overwhelmed or uncertain of what to do next, today can be the day you let go of the guilt and shame around feeling like a "bad" parent or telling your child they're being a "bad kid."

Break Free from Reactive Parenting offers up a new approach toward self-regulation and child expression, focusing on the family as a whole to create a calmer, more equitable home environment. From addressing the issues that cause and result from being reactive to implementing a more effective parenting approach, this book serves as your support system as you seek to bring meaningful change into your home. You'll find helpful advice and tools including: creating healthy morning and nighttime routines; dealing with anger and power struggles (yours and your child's); moving from mind-full to mindful; self-regulating for kids and adults; setting family goals and creating day-to-day balance; and so much more!
