Connected parenting

A groundbreaking, counterintuitive parenting approach to create deep, empathic bonds with problem children.Achild and family therapist for more than twenty years, Jennifer Kolari began her career working with children suffering 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—even those who are exhausted, overwhelmed, and struggling with the challenges of difficult or extremely defiant children. Empathy lies at the heart of Kolari’s Connected Parenting philosophy.What sets this book apart is Kolari’s proven step-by-step CALM program (Connect, Match the Affect of Your Child, Listen, and Mirror) that will support parents and help them implement true empathy in any situation—even during temper tantrums. Empathy goes beyond listening well—Kolari offers interactive behavioral and verbal techniques such as mirroring and nonverbal methods like regular play interaction that can reduce conflict dramatically and deepen the connection between a parent and child. Kolari then shows parents how to develop foolproof strategies for setting limits and changing negative behavior for good.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.
