6.99 €
For moms and dads tired of daily conflicts with their children.
Every parent has at least once asked themselves, "Why doesn't my child listen to me? Why are there constant conflicts, stubbornness, and tantrums at home?" Renowned school psychologist Chen Zhiheng believes that the problem isn't a child's difficult personality, but rather a stifling love and the inflated expectations of adults, which stem from their own unresolved grievances, fears, and childhood traumas.
This book is Chen Zhiheng's diary of ten years of observing his students. Using touching stories, he shows how to establish a genuine emotional connection with a child—without pressure or struggle. Here you will find "small talk" and "attentive listening" techniques that will help transform your interactions with your child into a trusting dialogue, and your home into a space for understanding and support.
You will learn:
– ready-made scenarios and phrases that will help you calmly respond to children's tantrums, aggression, and isolation;
– How can parents learn to accept and process their own difficult feelings – anger, helplessness, disappointment;
– The true dangers of hypercontrol and why it destroys trust;
– Why adults' words and behavior can sometimes hurt a child more than bullying and bad grades at school;
– How to rebuild trust and become a reliable support system for a child.
