Becoming the Mom I Wish I'd Had

A handbook for raising happy, confident, self-disciplined kids without yelling, spanking, or punishing. This book is about the healing power of mindful parenting - how one can correct, rather than continue, a painful family history, through HEART-Based Parenting (using the principles of Honesty, Empathy, Appreciation, Respect, and Time) rather than POWER-Based Parenting (Promoting Obedience While Encouraging Resentment). Includes a 3-Step process for making good use out of bad childhood memories, and the 9 Tools of the HEART-Based Parenting Approach.
