Most parent is they are HONEST, will admit they could use some parenting help. Kids today are NOT the same as our generation. They grow up more technology advanced and have a different set of parameters. So sometimes you just need something that will WORK and make family life better. Today's book review could be the answer for you!
Why is it so difficult sometimes to get kids to listen? You ask your child to turn off the TV, do her homework, or get ready for school or bedtime. You know he heard you, but he ignores you. You ask again and still...no response. You've tried everything-time-outs, nagging, counting to three-and nothing seems to work.
In If I Have to Tell You One More Time..., founder of the popular online parenting course Positive Parenting Solutions Amy McCready presents a nag- and scream-free program for compassionately, yet effectively, correcting your children's bad behavior.In this invaluable book, McCready shows parents how an understanding of the psychological theory espoused by Alfred Adler (1870-1937) can put an end to power struggles in their households. Adlerian psychology focuses on the central idea that every human being has a basic need to feel powerful-with children being no exception to the rule. And when this need isn't met in positive ways, kids will resort to negative methods, which often result in some of the most frustrating behavior they exhibit.
If I Have to Tell You One More Time... provides the knowledge and tools parents need to address the deeper issues that inspire their children to misbehave. Read this book and rediscover the joy of parenting!
In IF I HAVE TO TELL YOU ONE MORE TIME, parents will learn:
- How they are inadvertently contributing to their child’s misbehavior, and how to stop
- How to apply proven parenting techniques to different age groups, from toddlers to teenagers
- How to identify misbehavior and what psychological reasons are behind it
- How to discern between discipline and punishment, encouragement and praise

Review: Having a 4 yr old, you are always on the lookout for anything to help avert tantrums and the "I wants". I found some interesting ideas in the book, and things that gave me pause in how we traditionally react to our kids misbehavior. By adopting some of her ideas, I have seen tantrums cease or not develop from the initial whining.
I will say that is you have a truly obstinate child, then some of the techniques might not work as well with your child. Like any other parenting book, it's not 100% guaranteed! I do think it will help you with basic issues like sibling rivalry, the need to spend more time with your kids, and dealing with kids who have become spoiled.
I happy to offer the book to one lucky reader, to help you, or a family member with your kids!
