Mommy, Don't Yell! Parenting Without Screaming and Mom's Tantrums

From every iron, moms hear: “Crying traumatizes a child’s psyche!” “It’s normal that the child doesn’t obey.” “A tired mother is trouble for everyone.” Sensible words, correct. But what do you do with them—how do you stop yelling at the child, perceive their disobedience adequately, and find time for yourself? What do you do when everything overwhelms you so much that you lose control?

The book by Nadezhda Makhmutova, a practicing child psychologist and mother of two children, will help you determine the true cause of crying and teach you how to work specifically with it. You’ll learn what to replace crying with. You’ll learn to express your emotions safely—for yourself and for others.

You’ll find answers to important questions:

• What happens to a child when the mother yells?

• How can you restore a sense of safety in the child?

• What to do when a mother is tired of children? Is that normal?

• What is emotional burnout and how to work through it?

• How do beliefs and attitudes affect our life and our relationships with children?

• What to do if the emotional connection with your child is broken?

• Which exercises are effective for preventing breakdowns?

• What should you do if it still overwhelms you?

Simply reading theory isn’t effective. Nadezhda provides a clear action plan and a program with practical exercises.
