Confident Parents, Remarkable Kids by Bonnie Harris

Confident Parents, Remarkable Kids:

8 Principles for Raising Kids You’ll Love to Live With

Do you think you’ve tried everything, but nothing works? This book shows you another way. Want to know why your kids behave the way they do and what to do to get them to change? It’s all here, but it’s not what you think.

 Understanding your child’s unwanted behaviors means looking deeper into the emotions that cause them and connecting at that deep level—not on the behavior level. It all becomes clear when you understand your child is having a problem, not being a problem.

 

Confident Parents teaches:

  • Why your kids don’t listen and how to change that.
  • How your consequences create the opposite response than you intend.
  • How to develop a mutually respectful relationship.

 

Through story after story, Confident Parents is full of helpful parenting suggestions, including the steps of connective communication. It distills the eight important principles of Connective Parenting and then shows you how to practically apply each of them in the everyday moments that matter most.

When Your Kids Push Your Buttons by Bonnie Harris

When Your Kids Push Your Buttons
And What You Can Do About It

A life-changing resource for every parent! 

We all know what it’s like. Your child says or does that thing, and you see red! You hear your mother or father come out of your mouth, saying the words you swore you’d never say. Instantly, you are caught in the “road rage of parenting.”

Grounded, practical, and deeply human, Buttons shows you how it’s your own thoughts, fears, and limiting beliefs that fuel your reactions, not your kids. It examines how your past experiences affect and drive your reactions—and what to do about it.

 

Buttons answers the questions:

  • Why do my kids intentionally push my buttons?
  • Why do I react the way I do in the heat of the moment?
  • How can I have a calmer approach?

 

Through real-life stories and exercises, this book sheds light on how your subconscious beliefs undermine your intentions and provoke your reactions—without therapy. You’ll learn how to identify those beliefs so they stop controlling you. Buttons offers a fundamental shift in how you see yourself, your child, and your relationship when you let your child teach you.

“I read your Buttons book maybe a year and a half ago and thought it was both very helpful and beautiful. To me, its beauty lies in its trust that the parent doesn’t need a script to parent well. It’s like helping parents to parent by heart. Then I decided to re-read it, and love it even more!”

“Bonnie Harris is a powerful voice of reason, rhyme and guts. We need to stop seeing parenting as something that parents endure and start taking into account that parenting implies relationship, not a set of rules that little people better follow or else. In her book, she makes it clear, without judgment or preachy advice, that our confidence as parents relies on looking bravely in the mirror and seeing our reflection in our child’s eyes–and vice versa. A wonderful book.”

“I’ve read a lot of positive-parenting books, but this one stands out, and I bought it so I can keep referring to it. There is also great emphasis on achieving the bit of detachment necessary — and most importantly, how to do it. I have felt myself reacting more calmly, sympathetically, and effectively since I read the book and have already had several success stories. A definite keeper.”

“Bonnie’s earlier book, When Your Kids Push Your Buttons, was terrific! This one is even better. Lots of practical examples and lots of insight into how it all works.”

“This book fills a void in parenting support books. Most books I have read (many wonderful) focus on the child/behavior and what to do about it….This book recognizes that we all deal with our own baggage, issues, habits, pains that we bring to our relationship with our children….One of my favorite phrases in the book has become my mantra. ‘It never works to expect the child to be the adult first!’ This is a permanent addition to my bookshelf. This book is well worth the time to read, I highly recommend it!!!”

“…all these 5000 books on amazon forget the vital part in raising amazing children: the parent! Bonnie Harris is an exception. She shows us that it takes confident parents. This book beautifully presents how to change your children by changing your perspective of your role as a parent. Thank you, Bonnie, for giving parents real tools that make a real difference!”

“Parents, do you want more joy, harmony, and fun with your children and less drama and tears? I highly recommend this book. Old parenting techniques don’t seem to work. Connective Parenting helps parents gain insight into what is really going on in the mind of a child and in the mind of the parent. Bonnie provides logical explanations and tangible, useful strategies, which can help reduce daily battles, tears, and drama.” Christy Flo
