Attitude Adjustment Needed Now (Workbook)
$15.99Add to cartHaving worked with hundreds of children experiencing problems with anger, Dr. David E. Miller has created a simple two-part workbook designed for these children and their parents. The workbook promotes several activities to help children learn ten coping skills for expressing anger appropriately and reducing impulsive outbursts or inappropriate expressions of anger. The coping skills are presented as “tricks” that can help a child learn to control his or her anger. By working through the children’s portion of the workbook, a child learns coping skills for better handling anger and begins to consider consequences for his or her decisions and behavior. The parent’s section of the workbook contains many suggestions and resource ideas for helping their children learn coping skills, resulting in better anger management. Since these concepts have application to the classroom as well as the home environment, the workbook can serve as a resource to parents, teachers, and other personnel working with children in educational settings.

How Children Raise Parents
$17.00Add to cartParenting with Humility…We often realize that we learn as much from our children as they learn from us. So why don’t parents approach the task of child-rearing as a learning experience, rather than a mandate to make sure their kids succeed in life?

Imagine what would happen if you began to prize what you’re being taught by your children’s quirks, failures, and normal childhood dilemmas, rather than worrying about whether you’re doing everything right as a parent.

Practical ways parents can deal with awkward situations and discouragement are also addressed. The sovereignty of God and the sufficiency of Scripture are the foundation from which all help comes during these difficult times.
