Positive Parenting by Rebecca Eanes is a book that parents should read if they’re frustrated by yelling and nagging at their kids with no results. I’ll admit, I did a fair amount of that when the kids were younger. Sometimes it’s hard not to lose patience and resort to yelling and nagging when you’re dealing with your children. If I could do it all over again, this is definitely a book I wish that I would have read.

Positive Parenting by Rebecca Eanes
As any parent of small children can attest, it’s easy to fall into the common, joyless parenting trap of simply trying to manage kids’ behavior. And this default, if sustained as the primary modus operandi, makes forging that strong familial bond seem impossible.
Popular parenting blogger Rebecca Eanes knows first-hand what it’s like to operate on this default, and after sharing her insights online and receiving a massive response from other parents struggling with the same issue, she has compiled her hard-won wisdom in POSITIVE PARENTING: An Essential Guide.
In this empowering guide, Eanes offers advice on how to:
- · Change negative thought patterns
- · Use both proven and novel calming techniques to help parents manage their own emotions
- · Create a positive family culture
- · Cope with the most common parenting challenges
- · Lovingly communicate to children at different ages and stages
Written with compassion and insight, this invaluable handbook will help parents end power struggles and create loving, lasting bonds with their children. I love that the author included practical solutions for busy parents and that they addressed problems with solutions for toddlers and teenagers. Positive Parenting by Rebecca Eanes includes a number of activities and thought starters that will really make you think and encourage you to try parenting in a different way.
Ellen is a mom of a 25-year-old son and 30-year-old daughter. She is Grandma to one adorable toddler. In what little spare time she has, she loves to read, watch movies, and check out the latest toys and games.
This book would have been good when my 21 year old was a kid. He was a tough one to raise.
My 18yo was like that too!
I need this book! Every time I think I have parenting figured out we get to a different stage and I realize I still have no clue what I’m doing lol. I could really use some more tips for improving communication with my oldest.
It’s definitely a challenge some days!
