Summary: When children refuse to do even little things-like picking up their toys or getting in the car to go to school-it's easy for parents to become frustrated. But what if there was a gentle, effective way for parents to improve their kids' behavior, without losing their cool or raising their voice? In Is That Me Yelling? a registered nurse and child temperament specialist shows parents how to effectively communicate with their kids by focusing on their child's unique temperament. Using mindfulness techniques based in cognitive behavioral theory (CBT) and temperament theory, readers will learn to reduce conflict and foster cooperation, respect, and understanding in their family.
