New Releases by Jane Nelsen

Teaches parents and cargivers how to use kind and firm methods to raise children who are responsible, respectful, and resourceful.

Jane Nelsen cree que los niños se comportan mal cuando sienten que no reciben amor y atención y que no hacen parte de un grupo. El método autoritario, que utiliza frases como ''¡Porque yo lo digo!'', sólo conduce a un comportamiento rebelde. En su lugar, los padres de familia deben aplicar principios que los acerquen a sus hijos. Los padres que utilicen cariño y firmeza motivarán en sus niños la autoestima, la autodisciplina, la cooperación, el buen comportamiento, las habilidades para la solución de problemas y conflictos, reforzando, de paso, los valores. Esta obra responde, tanto a padres como a profesores, preguntas tan importantes como: ¿Qué errores cometen los padres en nombre del amor? ¿Cómo enseñar a los niños un comportamiento bueno y positivo sin recurrir al castigo? ¿Cómo pueden evitar los profesores problemas de disciplina en la clase?. Tomado de la contracubierta del libro.

THE KEY TO DISCIPLINE IS NOT PUNISHMENT, BUT MUTUAL RESPECT All parents try to do their best--but the best of intentions don''t always produce the best results. Dr. Jane Nelsen, an experienced psychologist, educator, and mother, believes that children misbehave when they feel thwarted in their need to belong and in their need for love and attention. An authoritative approach, using phrases like " Because I said so!" , will only lead to rebellious behavior. Instead, parents need basic principles that bring them and their children closer. They need Positive Discipline. Dr. Nelsen explains that parents who use kindness and firmness to teach life skills will encourage self-respect, self-discipline, cooperation, good behavior, and problem-solving skills in their children. In Positive Discipline, revised and updated for the ''90s, she shows all of us, parents and teachers alike, exactly how her practical program works--answering, step-by-step, such important questions as: *What works better than punishment to teach children positive, good behavior? *What mistakes do most parents make " in the name of love" ? *How can parents turn their mistakes into assets? *How can praise be dangerous? *What are the dangers of trying to be " Super Mom" ? *How can teachers avoid discipline problems in the classroom? " It is positive! It works! It saves your sanity! And it is easy to share with others." --Julie Pope, Parent Sacramento, CA " As a parent and psychotherapist, I have found enormous value and practical wisdom in Positive Discipline. It conveys a win/win atmosphere for parents and children. The techniques are so easy tolearn and fun to use...Anyone following these concepts will see almost instant results and big smiles on the faces of their children." --Katherine Dusay, Psychotherapist San Francisco, CA
