Book Reviews of Screamfree Parenting: The Revolutionary Approach to Raising Your Kids by Keeping Your Cool
Book Review: thank you for removing the guilt.
Summary: 5 Stars
i happened upon this book as my kids are 4, 2 and 1 - thank you! over the past couple years i had begun to figure this info out - especially the "you must take care of yourself first in order to benefit others" idea - after totally loosing and immersing myself into ONLY my children's lives..... like my parents did before me :(
hearing someone validate that this is ok really helped remove the guilt. my parents, esp mom, "devoted" her whole being and life - and still does - to her kids - and, of course, she was frazzled, unhealthy, exhausted, resentful and divorced after 18 years. This crazy "you-must-devote-your-entire-being-to-your-children in order to be a "good" parent idea is NUTSO! It will not work in the long run - for you, nor for your kids. Why are so many "adults" in my 22-35 yr old generation still living at home? "unable" to get a job or finish school? There's your answer - no one let them struggle.
I do still need to work on calming myself down first - my husband used to say this, but now i see what he means - it only adds to the problem when i get visibly angry or agigitaed or exhausted....
thanks again for the permission and validation to still be and care for ME (and my spouse) while also being a GREAT parent.
Book Review: great book

Summary: 5 Stars
Loved the uncommon approach of putting the responsibility on parents changing their own attitudes and behaviors instead of trying to teach their children how to change. Methods taught in this book, if applied, will yield wonderful results! Book Review: ScreamFree is the way to be.
Summary: 5 Stars
The book is easy reading and full of great viewpoints and suggestions. I am busy mom with limited time so I only read 1-2 chapters at a time and that works with this book. It is a nice compliment to the "Love and Logic Parenting" classes and materials I have recently heard. I am definitely happy with my purchase, and am working on being screamfree!Book Review: Yeah, no screaming!
