Embracing Defiance Parenting Study Course - 52 Week
Helping Your Child Express Their UNIQUE Voice while Keeping YOUR Sanity
In the ancient art of tai chi, you use your enemy's force against them, by going with the flow. Certainty, acceptance, and a kind of energetic dance lead to winning the battle. With children it often feels that way, like a battle. I've read dozens of discipline, behavior, and child development books. DOZENS! But none with the perspective of Dr. Beth Halbert. She helps you identify what you child is thinking/feeling and most importantly, NEEDING right at that moment, allowing you to dance with their concerns, gracefully disarm them, and speak to them in a language that is authentic to you, and understandable to them. Even better, training your child to express themselves in a manner that gets them heard and respected, giving them confidence and certainty.
Adryenn Ashley - Mom
I don't have children, but this book is oh so helpful anyhow. I have an INNER teenager who still has things to say. As a actual teen (decades ago) I skipped over teen defiance and did as I was told to do and expected to do. I was soooooo compliant. In that process I forgot how to speak my mind. I even forgot what I really want. Dr. Beth's "Embracing Defiance" helps me to reconnect to myself : ) Now I can live with PASSION and VIBRANCE.
Having participated in workshops with Beth, the book brings it all home in simple language that makes sense. It's an easy read. Full of great examples.
