Publisher's Synopsis
This practical, effective guide for parents of all ages with kids of all ages introduces proven principles for overcoming the anxieties and stresses of parenting and setting new patterns of connection and cooperation. ScreamFree Parenting compels parents to focus on themselves and control their own emotional reactivity in order to form stronger, more rewarding, and more fulfilling family relationships. This new, revised edition is more reader focused.

The revised edition will also include a new preface, along a new Part Five detailing the practicalities of using Screamfree principles with teens and technology. A Q&A section will cover a wide range of topics including separation anxiety, single parenting, how to dole out allowances and chores, and how to deal with lying.
