Children can go through difficult phases - this is a natural part of development. Conflicts and disagreements are nothing extraordinary, but rather a part of family everyday life. The authors of this practical and fantastic book show how parents can create consistent and effective structures, methods, and responses so that children learn how to exercise self-control and cooperation in a safe environment where they belong and have autonomy. Based on many years of experience working with children, including those with special needs, the authors structure their methods around a low-disruption approach. With many creative suggestions and real-life examples, this book has the potential to change family life for the better forever.
