		<description>[...] Raise Self Assured Confident Kids.    Description EBook(R) Helping Parents Riase Small Children The Instinctive Way.   Excerpt from product page                    Links    Contact us   Preview    FREE Preview            Andy  Coaton CFA,  CEng, MBA, BSc(hons), DipM but&#160; most of all parent &#160;   &#160;                     &#160;  Raise kids who are WITH you,  and not fighting AGAINST you.&#160; Kids with a deep  sense of self worth that frees them to do the right  thing   You only get one chance to raise your kids,   so don&#39;t leave it to chance          Wouldn&#39;t  it be great if you could have:        •&#160;a  calm contented baby        •&#160; happy and responsible kids        •&#160; kids that listen to you and do the right thing      •&#160;  and then later co-operative hard working teens that are a joy &#160;      In this book you will discover:        •the  principles that allow you to make sense of parenting in  today&#39;s world        •how  to get &#39;inside your kid&#39;s head&#39; so you know why he does  what he does; even when he doesn&#39;t know himself         •how  to free up and trust your natural parenting instincts       &#160;   Dear Parent,  My name is Andy Coaton and I am a parent of a 10 year old boy  and a 4 year old girl.&#160; Bringing them up continues to be the most  enjoyable and rewarding thing in my life.&#160; I was  motivated to write this book because around me I often see good well  intentioned parents making hard work of raising their kids. I  see them doing things that don&#39;t achieve what they intend, but  that actually cause the problem or make it worse.&#160;   Secondly, when I looked at many  popular and widely available parenting books I was not only  unhappy with what I read but occasionally alarmed. Often the  advice doesn&#39;t comply with what I know about the nature of  children and following that advice could set parents in conflict with the needs of their  babies and small children.     &#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; &#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;        I have long believed that  fundamental human nature hasn&#39;t changed for thousands of years.&#160; Throughout my life in order to understand the  world and anticipate what people are likely to do in the  future I have looked to understand  what human beings  have always done in the past.&#160; When I became a parent I realised that the same  approach works with babies and small children - only more so.&#160;  Children operate so much on instinct that their reactions are  even more predictable and understandable, once you know where  these instincts come from.  This insight has worked for me to  end up with two confident, self assured, disciplined and happy  children. It can work for you.  In the next few minutes you will  find out how to avoid the stresses and tensions of parenthood.  I know it sounds too good to be true but I assure you (with a  money-back guarantee) that what you are about to read can  revolutionize the way you bring up your kids. Problems that  plague other parents can pass you by. By understanding the  profound truths and adopting the easy to learn sound  principles to parenting you will read here, you will not have  to spend twenty frustrating years lecturing, scolding,  punishing, bribing and blackmailing your kids. You will start  getting the results you&#160;want.    Parent in a way that is in tune  with nature and doesn&#39;t fight nature   You will learn how to align your  parenting approach to match the innate nature of children.&#160;  To go with the flow and make use of natural biology and not  conflict with it and fight it.&#160; In this way you will  raise confident self assured kids that are strong enough and  emotionally secure enough to be co-operative, obedient and  allied with you and not in conflict with you. They will be  happy and make you proud.        Do you want to know:    Why do so many parent-child relationships end up in  misery, unhappiness, and a struggle for power with the  child defying and punishing his parents? And how to  avoid this happening to your family.    Why do babies really cry when they are left alone?    When should you pick up a crying infant?    Why do babies in traditional cultures never get colic?    You&#39;ve told your 8 year old a thousand times not to do  something.&#160; Why doesn&#39;t she ever learn?    Are children naturally lazy and work shy?    These are some of the many questions answered, but the  key benefit of reading the book this that you will  understand fundamental principles.&#160; Principles which will allow you to make for  yourself the  innumerable decisions about care of your kids                 Letters  from delighted parents:  &#34;Deep down I  knew that parenting wasn&#39;t so difficult but lacked the  confidence to follow my heart. This book swept away  those doubts and has changed the way I parent for the  better.&#34;&#160;  Charlotte, mother a 3 year old boy and a 6 year old  girl.  &#34;Thank  you for this book. I just wish I had seen it years  ago... Everyone should read it.&#34;  Amy, mother of 10 year old boy  &#34;I was sick and  tired of yelling and screaming at my kids. Now I&#39;ve got  a new way.

		<description>In the heat of the moment, I listen but I love to really look at my daughter and gaze into her sea blue eyes and smile at her Judy Garland lips and just fall in love with her even when she is "venting"! It is those moments I come to cherish and smile at all her life and vitality!</description>

		<description>These ideas are great. Reading this just made me realize how much I love to make my daughter laugh. When she frustrates me to the point where I can't think straight I begin to talk to her in a high pitched voice (much better than yelling, like i feel like doing.) that makes her either laugh or give me such a crazy look that I start to laugh.</description>

		<description>This email couldn't have come at a more perfect time.  I had a pretty rough day with my two boys and I need some ideas to help me keep calm when my 3.5 year old is frustrating me.

I love the spinning around, getting a drink of water, and just remembering that they are just kids!

Now if I could have someone whisper those ideas in my head when I'm aboutto lose it that would be great.  :)</description>

		<description>There certainly are positives and negatives to stress. In considering the negative side, I have found that power struggles and (what I consider) to be thoughtless accidents or choices, defiance and oppositional behavior to be key components in elevating my stress. I have learned to step back, remember that ALL behaviour has meaning (like a language) and focus on understanding that behavior rather then judge it, react to it or take it personaly. Giving time outs and taking time outs has certainly been a stress saver for me. Its amazing how one thinks and feels after 30 minutes of cool down and reflection. (smile).</description>

		<description>I think the challenge lies in trying to get things done.   We need to stop looking at things from an adult perspective and think from a child perspective .  They are just having fun.  So if you cleaned the house you have to accept the fact it will get messy in matter of minutes.  Situations like this, one needs to detach themselves from their emotions and look at the situation as an observer. You will see it makes all the difference.  I think this would also apply as kids get older.  Our frustrations are there because we want our life to be as adult life but we forget with kids its different.  Things are replacable but the impact we have on our children is irrevokable.  Anger, use of wrong words, etc..creates judgements on the growing child and thus creating a new cycle of same behavior...</description>

		<description>So many good ideas. I used to pretend the inlaws are watching or there's a camera recording everything
However, I really liked the HALT saying - as I am noticing that most times I get frustrated and angry.  The kids are being kids.  So if I can learn what bugs me, I can either accept it or change it.  The kids pick up this.  In the mean time, we all spin around the room until we are dizzy and giggling - great for bonding &#38; changes everyones mood almost instantly. I wonder if I could do this at work? (haha)</description>

		<description>I pat myself on the back for recognizing that I am angry and need to do something different. I quickly imagine the way I hope to be someday (ie calm, loving, firm). I unswervingly spend 20 minutes a day meditating (not religious - the kind that lowers your blood pressure and reduces stress). When I meditate I pick positive and powerful things to think about and when I get distracted I make a mental note of it and repeat my powerful positive image. When I get angry and I want to be different, I drop into that postive powerful place, my body becomes calm and I can make better decisions.</description>

		<description>Sometimes just simply accepting kids take time, patience, energy, love, tenderness, hugging, softness..etc...makes us realize and know that is who we are what we're called to do right now.  To accept this positon daily helps us to realize the blessedness of what we are creating.</description>

		<description>When things start to get overwhelming at our house I repeat a little mantra in my head - "I'm doing the best that I can."  This helps me calm down.  I liked the HALT technique too.  If you can figure out why your child is upset, you can usually help solve the "crisis."  Many times I realize my daughter (2 1/2) isn't acting the way I think she should because I have created a situation that makes it hard for her to behave.</description>

		<description>The most important realization I have had about stress is that laughter always makes you see another perspective - and even though in the heat of the moment when feelings are intense, it is the last thing you want to do - it is the best way not to damage the precious loving  bonds between parent and child.</description>

		<description>Something I picked up last week is the "2 Percent Solution". There's a book that goes by the same name, but basically the way it works is you give yourself 2 percent of all time available in a 24 hour day and devote it exclusively for something you feel you want to, need to, should do, or must do. 2% of your time works out to 1/2 hour a day and you can bank it for the weekend if you want to to gain a 3 and a 1/2 hour block of time to do something more substantial. I find the 1/2 hour a day a time to re-energize by re-discovering the piano and practising yoga three times a week.</description>

		<description>Oh dear, so often I need to use a "technique" to calm down, love to get new ones, but here are a few things that help me...."do over" (which is aimilar to the video rewind idea), I remove MYSELF from the situation, and say I am getting a glass of water...which totally baffles the child and makes them stop whatever they were doing that was about to make me a wild woman.  Sometimes being EXTRA calm, I mean like Mr Rogers calm, really helps because its almost a comedy being super calm.  I was one of those parents who had "little adults"..but now I just use ways to calm me down and then I can deal with the situation at hand..</description>

		<description>We use the term "turn it around" to get us back in check.  Frequently, we'll literally spin our bodies around as those we are unwinding.  By doing so, it not only makes us laugh, but it makes us stop and re-evaluate.  You can't help but have a different perspective after being a bit light-headed!</description>

		<description>On really hard days, I look at the front door and remember they'll be walking out of it one day, not sleeping at our home that night and never coming back.  (Hopefully.  Well, at least they'll never be children again.)  This helps me tremendously if I see my big tall child, now a man, and I'll never get to go back to "here" again with this little one.  "Here" seems SO much more precious to me.</description>

		<description>We go to our Father in prayer.  Alone. Together as a couple.  And together with the children.  Every day.  

We acknowledge that we are not God.  God is.  We talk about why we are here and how we are making our choices.  We ask to receive love and we give love. We ask for forgiveness and we give forgiveness. And we give thanks. 

The peace we receive goes beyond any stress relief technique. We are expecting our eighth child in February and although the chaos and stress can mount, when we take it to God in prayer, we see the reality -- life is such a joyous gift. 

Not too spectacular, but it really does work.</description>

		<description>Sometimes, when the work gets a bit repetitive, or I am just plain tired, I try to see the children throught the eyes of doting grandparents.  The kids are much cuter that way.</description>

		<description>What great thoughts! We also use the VCR "rewind" button.  If my children and I have gotten so stressed out that we have said or done hurtful actions, we stop, ask that we rewind the tape, step out of the room, and re-enter as if we are starting a new tape.  Since we use it infrequently, it really works when we need it.</description>

		<description>I love hearing everyone share their ideas.  It is always good for me to hear others struggling with the same problems I do.  Even though my oldest child is 19 (and I know how fast they grow up), I still struggle with managing stress with my younger children.  One thing I have learned to do is H.A.L.T. Every time I start feeling stressed, I try to remember to stop and think Hungry, Angry, Lonely or Tired and usually I can isolate whatever problem "I" am having and focus on taking care of it.  Usually I can rest awhile, let go of (forgive) someone, go to lunch with or call a friend, or eat something and feel much better.  Prayer helps me too!</description>

		<description>Imaginary Audiences

I learned in Psychology class that teenagers often have "imaginary audiences." That is they imagine they are being watched by others even when they're alone and it influences the way they act. In the middle of one my son's tantrums I imagined his doctor, who's not just a great doctor but also a great mom and someone I admired, could hear what was going on. What would she think of my parenting skills? It really helped me handle the situation.</description>

		<description>When I am totally frustrated, I often imagine how one of my professors of Education would handle the situation.  Somehow, this gives me the few seconds to see the situation from the outside, instead of taking it personally.</description>

		<description>The first step was realizing I was heating up because of the games my children play - most often with homework. As soon as I recognize that I'm getting angry or frustrated I tell my son I'm done and I get up away from the table and walk away.  As far as stress goes, I need my stress - it is what gives me the energy to keep going, so I'm one of those that don't feel the need to relinquish stress - I need it! :-)</description>

		<description>My wife and I both have activities to help manage stress. My wife goes out power walking early each morning with a friend, I take martial arts and play guitar. We make sure we can get out alone for a "date" at least every other week. That's in order to alleviate  stress, more importantly we try to avoid self inflicted stress. When all else fails I pretend they're my grandchildren.</description>
