About this listen

Feel like your kids just won't listen? Tired of having to yell and repeat yourself just to be heard?

Every parent has dealt with the frustration of a child who won't listen. Whether it's asking them to do chores, or reminding them of household rules, it can sometimes feel like your kid is tuning you out entirely.

When you have to remind them for the fifth time to clean up their room or put away toys, it's only natural to feel frustrated and annoyed.

You know that you need to discipline your child to help them understand what behaviors are and aren't appropriate. But how exactly are you supposed to do that?

No parent wants to be a taskmaster, or spend the majority of their time with their kids nagging or punishing them, but sometimes it may feel like you have no choice.

There is another way.

Learning how to properly discipline your child can actually help you to develop a stronger, more positive bond with them over the years. They'll find security and reassurance in the consistency of consequences, both positive and negative.

Filled with practical advice like what to do after you've yelled at your child, and how to help them regulate their emotions, this guide offers all you need to know to effectively enforce discipline without damaging your child's self-esteem, or straining your relationship.

In Discipline Like a Pro, here is just a fraction of what you will discover:

  • The distinction between discipline and punishment, and why it's so important to know the difference.
  • Why your child misbehaves, and what you can do about it.
  • Strategies like active ignoring and positive reinforcement that will help shape your kid’s behavior without forcing them to do things.
  • Age-appropriate advice for managing toddler, preschoolers, and grade-school age kids.
  • How to identify your parenting style, and why it has such a big impact on your kid's development.
  • Common parenting mistakes and pitfalls—how to avoid them and become a more effective disciplinarian.
  • Six simple steps to give effective timeouts without tearing your hair out in frustration.
  • How to manage and prevent typical problems like ignoring, defiance, and lying.
  • Four steps for staying calm in high-stress situations, even when you're both upset and irritated.

And much more!

You might be feeling like the challenges you and your child face are too unique to be addressed in a single audiobook, or that there's no real solution to those problems. The truth is, many of the disciplinary struggles parents experience are more common than they think.

Within this guide, you'll find a way to manage even the most frustrating of behaviors in a loving, productive way.

Don't spend another minute arguing with your child. Start building your relationship instead!

Discipline is such an important and sensitive subject that is not touched on enough when it comes to being a parent. Its hard to know how to or if you are doing a good job. Coming from a family who disciplined using physical methods I really wanted to ensure I was taking the right steps to learn a better way so this is exactly what I was looking for. This book is filled with thorough information that I found enlightening and helpful, as well as strategies to use with your child for a better outcome. I liked learning about my parenting style and the common mistakes parents make, I found those helpful to reflect on my parenting and see where change and or improvement was needed. I look forward to using the strategies and guided steps to make a difference in my childs life. Highly recommend to all parents! Thanks

What an informative read. I like the way the author brings in personal stories to bring the information together. Determining your parenting style is key, as discussed, and this will help you determine who you are as a parent. Remember, it starts with you, the parent. The author gives meaningful advice concerning different age ranges as well.
Here are some of the key takeaways that I feel resonated with me:

-The distinction between discipline and punishment and why it's so important to know the difference
-6 simple steps to give effective timeouts without tearing your hair out in frustration
-How to manage and prevent typical problems like ignoring, defiance, and lying
-4 steps for staying calm in high-stress situations, even when you're both upset and irritated
I recommend this book and enjoy as much as I did.

The toddler-five years I am finding are really hard for my daughter and it reminded me so much of what I went through when I was raising my kids, so I got her this book and she has said it has made a big difference, she now has a roadmap of how to apply discipline when the kids play up instead of making it up as she goes along. So this book has been really helpful in my family.
