"A new more empathic program for raising healthy, self-reliant children. From the producer of the popular on line GoToMom TV, comes a handy guide filled with practical tips that reject old-fashioned discipline and instead use empathy and emotion coaching, a more permissive, open-hearted method of support and positive change. Blaine shows how to put in place life-changing solutions and access previously untapped resources. This book is written for parents who struggle to solve the day-to-day problems of raising kids. She offers emotion coaching solutions for dealing with tantrums, nightmares, hitting, bedtime, whining, bedwetting potty training, shyness, and anger. Contains a method for emotion coaching that will help parents teach children how to be in charge of their own feelings. The parenting techniques presented are fun and easy to put in place. Includes a wealth of specific guidelines for dealing with the most common negative behaviors in children. Blaine includes an understanding of how parents can access their own parenting behavior (from the Control-Based Mom and the Hands-Off Mom) and how to achieve the middle road of Emotional Coaching."--
