"the word-of-mouth survival guide for SAN FRANCISCO parents"
I am a mother of two girls, ages 3 and 1. I have recently been given access to a number
of copies of the following book: Soft-Spoken Parenting: 50 Ways to Not Lose Your Temper
With Your Kids by H. Wallace GoddardIn a joint effort, we are looking to give a complimentary
copy of this book to mothers groups, book groups, discussion forums, etc. (both
online and off) with the request that in return they will review the book,
share it with others, and encourage its use for discussion. Either discuss the book in its entirety or
take turns discussing each chapter/section.
To get the most out of the book, we do encourage each group member to
have his/her own copy, as there are activities for applying the strategies
taught at the end of each section.
This book has been adapted to for both the general audience
as well as Latter-day Saint audiences (The Soft Spoken Parent: More Than 50
Strategies to Turn Away Wrath).
Synopsis
Short tempers and lapses of patience are a common challenge for
parents, but they are also conquerable with the advice in this book. Each
chapter contains a concept, including choosing laughter over accusation,
putting off until tomorrow what shouldn’t be said today, making sure actions
match words, choosing to see the good, and making allowance for childishness.
The challenge of being a little softer and kinder with children becomes a
little easier for parents with these simple and practical strategies. You can read about the author at:
www.drwally.org In addition, I will be
reviewing several of the strategies on my website: www.familyinnovations.net
