If Parenting is a Three-Ring Circus,
How Come I'm Not the Ringmaster?
Creative Ways to Raise Great Kids
by Tom Sanford
Are you searching for more effective parenting skills, discipline that works, and, most of all, a surefire approach to bring joy back to your family? This book may be your answer. Through years of experience working with teenagers as well as raising his own kids, Tom Sanford, founder of Project PATCH, provides you with innovative parenting tips that reduce family chaos and bring back the joy.
Tips from the book, now in second edition:
- If logic doesn't work, don't use it. Logic should never be the point of an argument. Love, forgiveness, and valuing another person is the point.
- Creativity is far more effective in discipline than anger, yelling, or spanking.
- Humor without sarcasm works when nothing else will.
- Avoid lectures; they don't work.
- If you didn't cause it, why fix it? If a child never learns to "fix" what he "broke" he will not learn responsibility. This becomes your "teachable moment" of discipline.
- Building assets is critical. The more assets children have the better they will feel about themselves.
- Encourage your child to become what they want to be rather than what you expect of them.
