New Releases by Jane Nelsen

A thoughtfully revised and expanded edition of Jane Nelsen''s revolutionary guide on how to raise capable, confident children without rewards or punishment—now updated with research-backed information on how to approach parenting in the era of social media For forty-five years, Positive Discipline has been the gold standard reference for adults working with children. Now Jane Nelsen, distinguished psychologist, educator, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother, has revised and expanded her classic guide with tools for the modern, digital age.

This updated guide covers: A new look at “misbehavior” The significance of birth order How to apply positive discipline in a screen-addicted world How your personality affects theirs Practical kind-and-firm tools to replace rewards and punishment. With warmth, understanding, and expertise, Nelsen helps parents and teachers unlock the positive solutions and strategies to help kids thrive.

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

Życie z nastolatkiem to czasem jazda bez trzymanki… i odwieczne pytanie, w jakich proporcjach połączyć wolność i kontrolę, by pozwalać nastolatkowi, aby zdobywał potrzebne umiejętności społeczne i życiowe i w sposób optymalny przechodził przez proces szukania odpowiedzi na pytanie „Kim jestem?”, a jednocześnie mieć poczucie, że jest się w jego życiu ważnym. Pozytywna Dyscyplina proponuje Ci nową rolę – zostań drugim pilotem w samolocie życia nastolatka, czyli bądź i wspieraj oraz porzuć nadmierną kontrolę. Jak? Przekonaj się sam! Okres nastoletni to zwykle czas ogromnej ilości stresu i dużych zmian dla nastolatków oraz ich rodziców. Młodzi ludzie naturalnie poszukują większej wolności i przechodzą przez proces przekształcania relacji z rodzicami, a ci drudzy często czują się wyobcowani i wykluczeni z życia dziecka, a nawet bezradni i bezsilni. Pozytywne podejście do wychowywania szczęśliwych, zaradnych i dojrzałych nastolatków. „Pozytywna Dyscyplina dla nastolatków” pokazuje rodzicom, jak lepiej komunikować się z nastolatkiem i wychodzić poza destrukcyjne cykle zemsty i poczucia winy oraz przerwać błędne koło walki, by budować relacje oparte na szacunku. Nastolatki nadal potrzebują rodziców, ale potrzebują ich w inny sposób. Rodzice mogą wspierać ich, ucząc zdroworozsądkowej oceny sytuacji, skupiania się na rozwiązaniach i brania odpowiedzialności, rezygnując przy tym z gderania, kar i zakazów. Miliony rodziców zaufały Pozytywnej Dyscyplinie – stworzonemu przez Jane Nelsen zdroworozsądkowemu i spójnemu podejściu do wychowywania szczęśliwych i odpowiedzialnych dzieci. W książce „Pozytywna dyscyplina dla nastolatków” znajdziesz sprawdzone i skuteczne sposoby na to, jak: - uczyć nastolatka, by realizował cele, które ważne są dla niego, jak również te, które ważne są dla ciebie (np. domowe obowiązki), - być po stronie swojego nastolatka i upewniać się, że on o tym wie, - unikać pułapek nadmiernej kontroli i pobłażliwości, - szczerze rozmawiać z nastolatkiem, - pomagać mu radzić sobie z wyzwaniami wirtualnego świata, - zamieniać trudne sytuacje w możliwości, - motywować, - dobrowolnie zrezygnować z kar i zabierania przywilejów na rzecz szukania rozwiązań, - zadbać o to, by twoje osobiste tematy z okresu dojrzewania nie stawały ci na rodzicielskiej drodze.

The number one stressor for teachers, who want to make a difference in the lives of students, is the time they have to spend on dealing with "misbehavior." Based on the best selling Positive Discipline series (rooted in the work of Alfred Adler and Rudolf Dreikurs), this deck of cards includes 52 tools that teach skills for dealing with "misbehavior" in ways that teach social emotional learning at the same time. Instead of using rewards and punishments (proven by research to be ineffective long-term), these tools help teachers understand the "belief behind the behavior" (the driving force behind the behavior) and then how to use encouraging methods such as involving students in focusing on solutions. Each tool includes a cartoon to help you see the humor in difficult situations, which then helps you access the part of your brain that is open to solutions. The "text" side of the card provides quick and easy steps to implement 52 tools that meet the Five Criteria for Positive Discipline.
