The First One to Scream, Loses - Conflict Management Techniques for Parents
Amazon Book Description
Whether you're a Fortune 500 executive or a stay-at-home parent, you likely feel the same way about your kids - they make you want to scream. Well, not always … just at the worst possible time. The worse part, though, is when you end up screaming, you end up feeling guilty, like a fool and often, like you're the worst parent in the world.
In order to avoid having these feelings, the solution is simple - don't scream.
How? This e-book 'The First One To Scream Loses' by Asaf Shani will teach you all the tips and tricks to keep your cool, stay in control and handle conflicts in your home effectively.
Asaf Shani is the happily married father of three daughters. In addition, he has spent more than 15 years teaching conflict management techniques and negotiation skills to executives, sales people and business owners.
During the Q&A portion of every workshop, he noticed that participants would often begin questions with, “I’ve got this kid at home …” followed by a heartfelt story about a family conflict, suddenly out of control. All these stories have a similar pattern: a conflict leads to hurt feelings, followed by harsh words … followed by more hurt feelings, followed by more harsh words … and so the cycle goes on and on.
This inspired Asaf to come up with ways to adapt conflict management techniques to situations at home so they can be applied even to children.
As parents, you can’t always control the reactions of your kids. But you can control your own reactions through education, preparation and practice. This book gives you easy-to-follow techniques on how to get what you want from your children - whether it is going to bed at eight, eating vegetables or doing homework - the first time you ask without a fuss and without them even knowing it. Based on Asaf’s real-world experience in conflict management and his experiences as a father, it is a practical guide designed to help you create an immediate change for the better in your family life — and long-lasting changes in the lives of your kids.
