Summary

One fact that is often misunderstood by a majority is that the real role model for children are their parents, as they are the ones responsible for the incorporation of anything good or bad in their children.

The term "Alpha parents", which is also the title of this book, is also wrongly interpreted by many and taken as the assertion of parents’ will and decisions over their children. Instead, it is the building of harmonious relationships and strong family bonds between parents and children.

This book, Alpha Parents, is a profound blend of some highly beneficial ideas that are essential for strong family relationships. It consists of some real-life stories that emphasize the role of Alpha parents and how their behaviors and norms can impact their children.

Family is not merely a blood relationship; in fact, it’s the name of accepting, valuing, and admiring each member of the family and standing with each other through thick and thin. Alpha parents are responsible for incorporating the sentiments of love, kindness, helpfulness, and empathy in their children by setting examples.

If "home sweet home" is a reality, then Alpha parents are the ones who are responsible for practically demonstrating this phrase by inculcating the importance of home, family members, communication, and independence among their children. This book will illustrate the importance of family, home, and the role of parents to make the environment of home a soothing one. 

With the help of short yet attractive stories, this book has demonstrated the family values and the teachings of Alpha parents - how the Alpha parents can lead their children, what should be the method to treat your teens and other family members, how to teach your children right and wrong without imposing your decisions, and how to lead your children to success by creating a friendly environment.

Life is not a bed of roses, and every family has to pass through some hard stages in life. Those hard yet inevitable stages of life may create differences between the family members, but the role of Alpha parents is to keep the family united by listening and accepting the status and arguments of each family member.

This book will comprehensively explain the role of Alpha parents during the dark stages by setting examples and teaching the children how and why sacrifices are necessary for the development and growth of family. Not each member of the family is same, and everyone has to play a role during bad times.

This was very helpful!

This was very helpful! The day I began this audiobook, I was challenged by my spirited 5-year old that afternoon. I used techniques from this book and have to say I was pleasantly surprised! We were able to work through a meltdown in about 15 minutes and she was pleasant and cooperative for the rest of the evening.

I found myself saying many times while listening

I found myself saying many times while listening to the book, “Yes! That’s my kid!” or “Yes! I feel like a terrible parent because it takes me 2 hours to get her to brush her teeth!” But it’s not just a book to explain how to parent a “spirited” child, but it’s a book to help bring some solace to spirited parents by saying “You’re not alone and you’re not crazy.

Great book giving a thorough overview

Latest, point by point and logical data on Alpha Parents - it is empathetic, viable, and overly usable to enable a parent to comprehend the complexities of Alpha - what it is and what it isn't. It encourages how kids have analyzed route once again from various decades to now. It's a decent book particularly for guardians who need to more readily comprehend their kid with this sickness.

I felt so empowered and even more sympathetic

I felt so empowered and even more sympathetic to my child after listening to this. Our spirited kids are good kids. They just need to feel it and know it from us as parents and have the tools ready for them to use. Big fan of this audiobook.

A great audio book

Taking Charge treats parents respectfully and intelligently. You'll go back repeatedly--maybe even every day--to the sections on becoming an executive parent and managing life with Alpha. Don't miss this book if you're a parent who feels helpless
