Odkryj moc "pozytywnej przerwy" i raz na zawsze skończ walkę o władzę z dziećmi. Czy Twoje relacje z dziećmi przypominają jakąś grę? Nieustannie idziesz w zapasy, odbijasz piłeczki, boksujesz się z dziećmi w codziennych zmaganiach? Czujesz, że wychowanie to harówka emocjonalna, która oddala Was od siebie? Uwaga! Czas na „time-out”, czyli pozytywną przerwę według Pozytywnej Dyscypliny. Jak przestać walczyć z dzieckiem? Pozytywna przerwa i 50 innych sposobów dla rodziców i nauczycieli to kolejna książka dla rodziców od Pozytywnej Dyscypliny, pełna praktycznej wiedzy i wsparcia. Zaprasza ona rodziców i wychowawców, by odkryć moc „pozytywnej przerwy”. To narzędzie, które buduje na relacjach i szacunku do dziecka i samego siebie. Chwila na „ochłonięcie”, czas na „przemyślenie zachowania”, „karny jeżyk”? To wciąż popularne i stosowane metody dyscyplinujące w wielu domach i placówkach. W takiej czy innej odsłonie – niezależnie od „dekoracji”, świadomie lub nie – te metody pełnią często funkcję kary. Przynoszą efekt zupełnie odwrotny do oczekiwanego, bo osłabiają motywację dziecka, zagrażają relacji, uruchamiają mechanizmy zemsty lub buntu, wpędzają w poczucie winy dziecko i rodzica, zaniżają samoocenę. Dlaczego ta książka jest wyjątkowa? Najnowsza książka z serii Pozytywnej Dyscypliny autorstwa Jane Nelson zaprasza rodziców i wychowawców, by odkryć moc „pozytywnej przerwy”. To narzędzie, które buduje na relacji i szacunku do dziecka i samego siebie. W swojej koncepcji autorka wykorzystuje teorię mózgu i współczesne badania z zakresu self-reg. Dzięki temu „pozytywna przerwa”, to nie forma kary, ale sposób na wyciszenie emocji dziecka i opiekuna oraz powrót do równowagi bez uszczerbku dla relacji. Dzięki książce docenisz czas na nudę i odpoczynek, który uczy sztuki samoregulacji i samodyscypliny, a także wzmacnia w dziecku wiarę w siebie i kształtuje umiejętności rozwiązywania problemów. Ponadto: · opracujesz plan działania i postawy, by uniknąć walk o władzę z dziećmi; · wzmocnisz wewnętrznie dzieci przez angażowanie ich w proces zmiany zachowania; · zrozumiesz błędne strategie dziecka, które kryją się za trudnym zachowaniem. · odkryjesz, że czas nudy może być wartościowym doświadczeniem dla dziecka. Opinie Ta książka to szansa na spokój w naszych relacjach z dziećmi, uczniami i dorosłymi. Po co stosować pozytywną przerwę? Aby poczuć się lepiej, bo tylko wtedy mamy szansę zachować się lepiej (…). Renata Korolczuk, Edukatorka PD, nauczycielka, mama Dla mnie ta książka to przewrót kopernikański w myśleniu o wychowaniu i kompletne, gotowe do wzięcia narzędzie. Nie wyobrażam sobie, aby ktokolwiek, kto pracuje z dziećmi, nie przeczytał tej książki. Danuta Kuźnik, Edukatorka PD, logopeda, pedagog terapeuta, mama
