Summary

Simple strategies for a happier home and more cooperative kids. For children aged 3-13. Finally, a revolutionary programme that gives you simple steps to take the daily battles out of parenting.

These strategies resolve one of parents' biggest frustrations: getting your children to listen and do what you ask, the first time you ask. When children are at their best, it is easy to get along with them and enjoy them. However, when they are defiant, argumentative or disrespectful, it is easy to get wound up, to argue back, threaten, nag or shout. If this sounds like the situation in your home too much of the time, then Calmer, Easier, Happier Parenting is for you. When you use these strategies, not only will your children become more cooperative, but also more confident, self-reliant and considerate. Learning new skills like Preparing for Success, Descriptive Praise and the Never Ask Twice method can transform your relationship with your child in a short space of time and help bring the joy back into family life.

Full of examples and real stories from parents, this book gives you clear step-by-step guidance to achieve Calmer, Easier, Happier Parenting. These strategies work!

Much more than I thought we needed but we needed it all. Just need to get my husband to listen or read the book and we can start a list and introduce 2 or 3 new rules. Screen time will be the hardest but we have lovely girls so I know they will respond well and have done so already will a bit of descriptive praise I've done so far. Need to get better at it. Many thanks for the methods I can feel confident and stick with it.

I'm only 2 chapters in and already achieving massive improvements in my interaction with the kids, it just a matter of days I got my little one into a new bed time routine and she no longer makes a fuss about cleaning her teeth etc and the bed time routine is a real pleasure for her as she feels all grown up:-) My wife can't believe it!

I absolutely love the techniques from this book. It has given me a more positive attitude towards my own children and my ability as a parent.

I have read Noel's other book for parents with boys and wanted to get this as a refresher and also because I have a daughter too. I thought that the concepts and examples would be easier to absorb if they were told to me. Unfortunately I found Noel's voice rather annoying and she droned on and on about why this method works before getting on with how it works and all the examples. The examples are embedded within all the explanations so they were easily missed. I think the printed version might be better for such books since you can flip back and forth and go back to the relevant topics and to the examples you want.

I gave up half way through this book. Might pick it up again if I have a long journey and feel like sleeping.
