Summary of sarah ockwell-smith's gentle discipline

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 It is impossible to discipline your child gently and effectively without first understanding the triggers of their misbehavior. Everyone has to deal with overwhelming emotions from time to time, and some cope with them better than others. #2 Parents should be aware of their children's behavior triggers, which are typically of a physiological nature. These allow them to prepare for, preempt, and sometimes avoid any related bad behavior. #3 It is important to note that food additives, such as those found in breakfast cereals, chips, candy, and even children's medicines, have been linked to hyperactivity. If you suspect your child may be affected, check the ingredients lists on the product packaging and speak to your pediatrician. #4 The amount of sleep your child needs varies from child to child. Some kids need eight hours of sleep in a twenty-four-hour period, while others may need closer to twelve.
