In a mom's group that I attend, we are reading this book. Anyone heard or read it? It is pretty much amazing so far. Basically it talks about how to relate to our children on a different level, away from punishment and inflicting fear through consequences. By helping our children understand their emotions and helping them work through them, children learn how to express themselves appropriately and as the grow, they will develop healthy self esteems and peer relationships. Obviously there are a lot of parenting styles that are clearly not working with as much violence and mental disabilities our children are facing. So I figure let's try a more peaceful approach and TRULY learn to understand our children. I am excited to see how this plays out :)
