Read Jennifer Kolari's posts on the Penguin Blog.
A groundbreaking, counterintuitive parenting approach to create deep, empathic bonds with challenging children
A child and family therapist for more than twenty years, Jennifer Kolari began her career working with children who suffer from severe behavioral problems. That experience taught her an invaluable lesson: It wasn't "tough" discipline that helped these kids change their behavior and build self-esteem. It was unending compassion and empathy. Now Kolari applies these lessons in her work with all families, teaching them how to take a non-defensive stance through even the most heated moments. Filled with heartfelt advice, Connected Parenting helps parents:
•set limits and change problem behaviors for good
•lower the child's anxiety level
•stop the endless battles over homework, routines, food, and more
•learn how to keep cool in any situation
Powerful and inspiring, Connected Parenting includes incredible stories from families who have experienced miraculous transformations- often in just a few weeks-using Kolari's parenting approach. It is a dynamic blueprint for bringing peace and loving connections into any family for life.

Finally, a parenting book that gives advice and it actually works!! The author is very compassionate in her approach, and guides you step by step to develop skills that do work. It almost seems like magic. Simple to understand, but not always easy to do. The author coaches you through the resistance you might feel at first. Try it!
