Parenting Without Pressure
A whole-family workbook for resolving parent-child conflict and establishing order in the home
TURN POWER STRUGGLES INTO PEACE TALKS
Parenthood is never easy. Although all children have parenting needs (even adolescents who don’t want any parenting), not all parents are equipped to meet those needs. Being fair and consistent, yet always loving, can be a constant and exhausting challenge. Before their kids finally leave home, most parent have felt like failures dozens of times.
Since 1987, social workers, school counselors, judges, and psychotherapists have recommended Teresa Langston’s “Parenting Without Pressure” workshops to parents whose children may be typical teens, completely out of control, or anywhere in between. Now Teresa is making her sanity-saving techniques and workshop material available to parents all over the country in Parenting Without Pressure.
Emphasizing communication, unconditional love, and a structured environment, the Parenting Without Pressure approach will involve your whole family in the parenting process. You’ll learn how to establish fair rules with workable consequences and motivating incentives, freeing you from the pressure of making “on the spot” disciplinary decisions. You’ll find out how to give up the struggle but keep your authority. You’ll see how discussions about rules and consequences prepare your children for the real world ahead.
