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. Nelsen explains how parents and teachers can be both firm and kind at the same time, so that any child—from a four-year-old toddler to a rebellious teenager—can learn solution-oriented cooperation and self-discipline with no loss of dignity. The key to positive discipline is not punishment but respectfully focusing on solutions that teach valuable social and life skills; and encourage mistakes as opportunities to learn—for parents and children. 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

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.
