Description
Solve toddler challenges with eight key mindshifts that will help you parent with clarity, calmness, and self-control.
In Why Is My Child in Charge?, Claire Lerner shows how making critical mindshifts—seeing children’s behaviours through a new lens—empowers parents to solve their most vexing childrearing challenges. Using real life stories, Lerner unpacks the individualised process she guides parents through to settle common challenges, such as throwing tantrums in public, delaying bedtime for hours, refusing to participate in family mealtimes, and resisting potty training.
Lerner then provides readers with a roadmap for how to recognise the root cause of their child’s behaviour and how to create and implement an action plan tailored to the unique needs of each child and family.
Why Is My Child in Charge? is like having a child development specialist in your home. It shows how parents can develop proven, practical strategies that translate into adaptable, happy kids and calm, connected, in-control parents.
