GENTLE GUIDANCE - MARIE GENTLES TASCHENBUCH

'Such an important book  by someone who really understands the issues that young people face in
today's world.' Dr Zoe Williams Right now  it is undeniably a tough time to be a parent. With
so many pressures on your time  your energy and your resources  it can be difficult to give
your child everything they need emotionally  and even more so when you're faced with defiance 
disruption or challenging behaviour. However  in this new book  Marie Gentles draws on decades
of expertise supporting families to give you the toolkit you need to be the best parent you can
be - and the best bit? The change starts with you. Just as when you're on a plane and are
advised to get your own oxygen mask on in an emergency before helping your child  the same
applies when it comes to behaviour. So first in Marie's toolbox is the need to take time for
yourself: give yourself headspace  allow yourself time to adopt a healthy mindset and be the
change you want to see. From establishing positive relationships that bring out the best in
your child  to applying the tools you learn as a framework for your wider relationships 
whether it be with friends  colleagues  your boss or even your inner child  this book will help
you put Marie's FIVE CS into practise when faced with any challenging moment: Communication:
behaviouris communicating a need for emotional connection. Calm: this moment is a teaching and
learningopportunity. Curious: what feeling is the other person seeking? Connect: how can I meet
their emotional needs? Convey: what does my behaviour look like in this moment from the other
person's perspective? You don't need to fit into a box with your parenting style  but using
Marie's gentle guidance  you'll be equipped to raise a resilient child who in turn has the
tools they need to deal with anything life throws at them - whether they are fifteen months or
fifteen years  it's never too late to start.
