Unpunished

How would you respond? Your child has a meltdown in the grocery store parking lot because you didn't get his favorite cereal. Your fifteen-year-old throws his phone at the wall because you won't let him go to a college party that weekend. Your 7-year-old and 9-year-old fight constantly, and you're afraid someone will get seriously injured. Parenting is hard. It doesn't come with a manual, and sometimes punishments seem like the only way to fix undesirable behavior.
How do you create a peaceful home when the relationship with your child is unpredictable or contentious? How do you manage their volatile emotions from one moment to the next when you don't know how to manage your own? In Unpunished, successful parent coach and mom of two, Michelle Kenney, M. Ed., opens up about her struggle with parenting and how she learned to connect fully with her kids without yelling, punishments, or manipulation.
Whether you're a new or seasoned parent, this thoughtful book will walk you through the process of infusing empathy and compassion into your parenting style to restore connection and improve your relationship with your child. Michelle Kenney, M. Ed., has helped thousands of parents stop using punishments and yelling and learn kind limits to connect more deeply with their children. A former yeller, recovering perfectionist, and reformed control freak, Michelle guides parents in creating a more calm and peaceful home in a modern, demanding, and hectic world.
