Anger Management for Explosive Parents : How to Parent Yourself, Manage Your Emotions, Stop Being a Reactive Parent and Raise a Confident and Happy Child

by Lisa Kennedy, Educational and Mental Health Institute

We can not raise a happy child if we are constantly screaming threats at them. No parent sets out to hurt their child, but this type of parenting does just that. Anger is a completely natural emotion, but in our frustration, we often end up yelling, screaming, and hitting our children to follow our commands. Despite that, they still refuse to listen, and it feels awful to rage at someone you love. There is a way to deal with your child in a kind and constructive way and also being a role model for them—giving them a good example of how to handle challenging situations and work out conflicts.

You may be feeling trapped and a little hopeless, but I assure you that it is possible to calm yourself, get your child to hear and understand you, and to start building better family relationships. Making the decision to be a positive parent will benefit your whole family. You will find that your children want to behave and follow your rules. You will be less stressed out by the end of the day. Your house will not feel like a battle zone. Instead, you can create a home full of peace and love for the whole family. This audiobook will show you why strict and permissive parenting does not work. You will learn just how easy it is to embrace a positive parenting style. While learning how to be a positive parent, you will not only heal the relationship with your children but heal yourself along the way.

I had to stop reading after the lengthy list of what to avoid eating that included spicy, salty, sweet, and etc food. It's demotivating to read that the best way to improve your mental health is to stop enjoying the little things in life.

Listened to this book. It’s only 3 hours and full of great tips for raising kids and taking care of yourself to create a thriving family life. Totally worth the time.
