Book Description
More and more parents are dealing with children that are out of control, children that are angry and parents do not know how to handle. What studies have found is that this anger that these children are experiencing can be caused from the type of parenting technique that is being used. Most parents begin by using negative discipline which involves spankings or time out, but when they do not see the results that they expect, they are left confused and not understanding what they should do. The answer is positive parenting. Positive parenting is parenting done right. It is a technique that is based on preparing your child for the future and looking for teachable moments in a child's life. This book is going to teach you everything that you need to know about positive parenting so you can start using it today!

Unfortunately for parents, many of the techniques some experts present only seem to make matters worse. Hal Edward Runkel has discovered why: Parents are spending far too much time orbiting their lives around their children. They need to return the focus to themselves.

Rather than learning new techniques, you’ll discover the liberating principles, based on scriptural truths, that are inspiring parents just like you to revolutionize their family life. Principles that will enable you to remain cool, calm, and connected with your children, no matter what. Learn how to parent less out of your deepest fears and more out of the highest principles in ScreamFree Parenting. Special edition distributed through Christian booksellers.
