Three steps for communicating in difficult moments -- Proactive tools -- Difficult feelings and tantrums -- Hitting, pushing, biting, and other physical behaviors -- Listening, following directions, and engaging cooperation -- Sibling relationships -- Screen time -- Bedtime and sleep. A toddler meltdown over the wrong pair of pants, siblings fighting in the back of the car, kids crying when you try to leave the house... Parents have the best intentions to be patient and loving, but in the heat of the moment, they too often find themselves feeling helpless, desperate, and so frustrated that they resort to yelling, threatening, bribing, or caving. Now Say This solves the dilemma: how can you be empathic and effective at once? Based on the popular 3-step "ALP" model the authors have taught thousands of parents in their clinical practice, and written in a friendly, balanced, and research-based tone, Now Say This addresses issues such as: tantrums, engaging cooperation; sibling relationships; screentime; and bedtime. Best of all, it answers the question, "Now, what do you actually say?" using scripts and body language from real life examples. Now Say This is a guide that transforms remarkable ideas into practical how-to's that busy parents can use right away. Provided by publisher. 20180606. Parent and child. Child rearing. Parenting.
