She reveals that most of the therapeutic approaches have serious side effects and few proven benefits: for instance, talk therapy can induce rumination, trapping children in cycles of anxiety and depression; while 'gentle parenting' can encourage emotional turbulence—even violence—in children as they lash out, desperate for an adult to be in charge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMental health care can be lifesaving when properly applied to children with severe needs, but for the typical child, the cure can be worse than the disease. \u003cem\u003eBad Therapy\u003c\/em\u003e is a must-read for anyone questioning why our efforts to support our kids have backfired—and what it will take for parents to lead a turnaround.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45639620657388,"sku":"9781800754133","price":39.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781800754133.jpg?v=1724474519"},{"product_id":"the-myth-of-the-spoiled-child","title":"The Myth of the Spoiled Child","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eThe Myth of the Spoiled Child\u003c\/i\u003e by Alfie Kohn delves deep into the pervasive and often misguided beliefs surrounding modern parenting and children's behaviour. In this insightful and provocative book, Kohn systematically dismantles the widely held notion that today's youth are overindulged, narcissistic, and suffer from an inflated sense of self-esteem. He reveals that these opinions are not new but have existed for generations, recycled over the years with little empirical support. Kohn's critique stretches further, shedding light on how these myths uphold a fundamentally conservative ideology that contradicts even liberal parents' often progressive intentions.\n\nDrawing from a wealth of social science research, Kohn examines and debunks common assertions about contemporary child-rearing practices. This includes the idea that parents today are overly permissive, afraid to impose limits, and unwilling to let their children fail. Contrary to popular belief, Kohn argues that helicopter parenting is quite rare and, in instances where it does occur, may have positive effects rather than the feared negative consequences.\n\nKohn masterfully uses logic, humour, and extensive data to challenge these entrenched assumptions. For instance, he addresses and refutes claims that children today:\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSuffer from inflated self-esteem\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAre entitled and narcissistic\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eReceive trophies, praise, and A's too easily\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNeed more self-discipline and \"grit\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\nKohn's thoughtful and accessible writing style invites readers to reconsider these widespread opinions and understand the underlying ideology that sustains them. He persuasively argues that the real threat to children's development comes from overly controlling parenting styles rather than indulgent ones. Kohn’s book doesn't just challenge claims made about children and parenting styles; it challenges readers to adopt a more nuanced, evidence-based view.\n\nWith \u003ci\u003eThe Myth of the Spoiled Child\u003c\/i\u003e, Alfie Kohn provides a timely and necessary critique that has the potential to transform cultural conversations about children and parenting.

Greene, PhD, now in its revised and updated sixth edition, delves deeply into a revolutionary, research-based approach to understanding and parenting children who frequently display severe fits of temper and other challenging behaviours. Penned by a distinguished clinician and pioneer in addressing the needs of children with social, emotional, and behavioural difficulties, this ground-breaking book offers invaluable insights and guidance for frustrated parents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat characterises an explosive child? These are children who respond to routine problems with extreme frustration, displaying behaviours such as crying, screaming, swearing, kicking, hitting, biting, spitting, and even destroying property. Such frequent and severe outbursts often leave their parents feeling helpless, scared, and desperate for solutions. Experiences of these parents include trying a range of strategies—reasoning, explaining, punishing, sticker charts, therapy, medication—only to see no significant improvement. They are baffled as to why their child behaves in this manner and why conventional strategies fail while working for other children.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDr. Ross Greene reassures these parents through his extensive work with thousands of explosive children. He assures them that their children are not attention-seeking, manipulative, or unmotivated. Nor are the parents failing by being passive or permissive. Instead, explosive children are typically lacking essential skills in flexibility\/adaptability, frustration tolerance, and problem-solving. These deficits necessitate a unique and tailored approach to parenting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this compassionate, insightful, and practical book, Dr. Greene introduces a new conceptual framework grounded in neuroscientific research to understand these difficulties. He meticulously explains why traditional parenting and treatment methods often fall short for these children and outlines effective alternatives. Instead of relying on reward and punishment, Dr. Greene advocates for the Collaborative Problem Solving model. This approach encourages parents to work collaboratively with their explosive children to address the issues that trigger their explosive episodes and to teach them the necessary skills they lack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThroughout \u003cem\u003eThe Explosive Child\u003c\/em\u003e, readers will find detailed explanations, practical advice, and real-life examples to help them implement this innovative approach. The sixth edition incorporates the latest findings and offers new insights to equip parents better to handle these challenging situations.
