Parenting: The Power of a Do-Over How to Strengthen Family Connections, Build Confidence and Character, and Eliminate Regrets. Do you ever look at your children and struggle with regretful feelings? Do you wish you could go back and change the way you responded in certain situations? Are you wondering if you're being the best parent you can be? Learn how to not just say you're sorry when your actions or reactions hurt your child but how to Rewind, Restart and Redo. The strategies listed in this book will help you connect with your child, open lines of communication, help heal old wounds and keep new ones from being created. We can think about doing it better, or say we will do it better, but until we actually stop and put in to action a “do-over”, chances are you will simply repeat the offensive behavior instead of putting into action a new behavior. I know this because I do this. Here’s a Preview of What You’ll Learn Yelling and Screaming - This chapter covers strategies to decrease yelling and increase conversation in addition to offering practical do-over scenarios that you can implement with your own family. Time - Ideas for finding time to focus on your child and making up for time that's already been lost. Praise - Did you know there is a wrong way to praise? Who knew?! Praise is necessary but only proper praise will create positive results. Learn how to praise effectively and how to go back and praise correctly when you find you have missed an opportunity. Consistency - Life is full of inconsistencies and uncertainties but children thrive and depend on stability. This chapter will help you find ways to become more consistent in addition to going back and reestablishing the expectational foundation you want your child to be able to trust and stand firm upon. All of these will have strategies to stay calm and move on as well as tips on how to rewind, restart and redo in an effort to heal old wounds. About The Author I am the mother of 7 kids: 2 unofficially adopted now young adults and 5 in the home. We are still adjusting to being a family of five after an almost 5 year adoption journey from Haiti that finally ended last summer. Our home is a little wild but there’s always a lot of grace both given and received. I don’t claim to have it all figured out but I’m sure trying because I know I'm not the parent I envisioned I would be. I don't want to live with regrets when my kids are gone that I could have parented, corrected, directed, supported and loved my children better. I’ve written this book as much a reminder for myself as I have to help others become all they dream they can be as a parent and more. If you’re a parent then this book is a MUST READ!
