In fact, it is the child's ancient survival brain that wants to run the show. \u003ci\u003eAnd that character cannot be reasoned with!\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe key is to see that there is not one child to parent, but two: the \u003cb\u003eTrue Child\u003c\/b\u003e, and the child's defence system, the \u003cb\u003eGuard Dog\u003c\/b\u003e. Each has a contrasting set of behaviours, and each requires a radically different parental response.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThere has long been a cry for a more humanistic model of parenting that allows a child to be a child. This might sound obvious and easy, but if a child is \u003ci\u003eenslaved\u003c\/i\u003e to their defence system, with its myriad reactive behaviours, they will never be \u003cb\u003efree to be a child\u003c\/b\u003e, no matter what approach is applied.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eParent educator and mentor \u003cb\u003eMary Willow\u003c\/b\u003e has created a breakthrough method that has helped hundreds. She has now turned her work into an easy-to-follow book for parents, teachers, and caregivers everywhere who are struggling to reconnect with their kids.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47589014667500,"sku":"9781776891726","price":35.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781776891726.webp?v=1777605287","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/breaking-through-by-mary-willow-9781776891726","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
