"This new book educates parents with real life scenarios, showing simply and accessibly how to put positive parenting into action in daily life. The user-friendly format takes daily scenarios that stump even seasoned parents, tells us what's going on in the child to cause the behavior, and recommends specific parenting interventions to get the child back on track. Divided into sections like Nighttime, Potty Learning, Hitting and Whining, it addresses all the usual challenges of life with young children." - Dr. Laura Markham, author of Peaceful Parent, Happy Kids"Positive Parenting in Action is the book I wish I had had when my oldest was a baby." - Dulce Chale,dulcefamily.blogspot.com."Positive Parenting in Action, a new ebook by Rebecca Eanes (owner and author of the Positive Parentswebsite, and the founder of the popular Facebook page,Positive Parenting: Toddlers and Beyond) and Laura Ling, breaks it all down in a really lovely and encouraging way. Instead of just offering up vague advice about what NOT to do, it instead gives the reader clear and loving examples on respectful ways to handle everything from tantrums to aggressive or dangerous behavior to sibling rivalry to potty learning." - Jennifer McGrail, jennifermcgrail.com"Positive Parenting in Action: The How-To Guide for Putting Positive Parenting Principles into Action in Early Childhood is brilliant, in my opinion!" - Jennifer Saleem, hybridrastamama.comFrom the Back CoverParenthood is a beautiful journey. We don't have to become adversaries with our children; doing so is very unnatural to our humanity. We are all wired for connection, for closeness, and for love. Positive parenting frees us to move from the traditional parenting roles which create friction and rebellion and allows us instead to move into a more natural role which creates cooperation and peace. The inevitable conflicts that arise in a relationship no longer define the relationship, but serve as stepping stones to greater understanding and connection.About the AuthorBest-selling author, Rebecca Eanes, isthe founder of positive-parents.org andcreator ofPositive Parenting: Toddlers and Beyond.Her books areThe Newbie's Guide to Positive Parentingwhich has been a #1 best seller in it's category on , and a co-authored book,Positive Parenting in Action: The How-To Guide to Putting Positive Parenting Principles in Action in Early Childhood, which has also been an best seller internationally, both in the U.S. and the U.K.Her new book, Lasting Bonds: Building Connected Families Through Positive Parenting, will be released in February 2015.She is the grateful mother to 2 boys.

An easy, inspirational readBy AliWith a two month old, 2 and a half year old, and a 7 year old, I found helpful advice for all areas of parenting struggles that we face. This book provided the gift of letting go of the past and being hopeful for the future armed with this information and clear cut advice. EMPATHY is recommended to be at the forefront of every action and reaction, and this philosophy is a true middle ground between being permissive and being too strict and caught up with punishment and nagging. I feel like I was already doing most of this stuff but it was a very helpful refresher and cleared up a few things I was unsure or doubting myself on. I'm truly excited for tomorrow and all the rest after a tough parenting day and am thankful for these wise words.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Definite must have for parentsBy Sandy K. PannI go to this book often when I have to deal with a toddler's outbursts or my pre-schooler's changes. I love that it puts a positive spin on almost every emotion and situation with a child. I constantly remind myself when I'm feeling discouraged to pick up the book and read it a bit, and it always gives me a fresh outlook on the way I want to parent. Positive parenting isn't permissive parenting, there are definite structures in place, and it gives you a chance to truly take your parenting experience to a new level.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
