Help the child be good. 10 principles of calm parenthood. Kennedy B.

We all want to grow children happy. But protecting the child from any experiences, we ultimately create a person of anxious, nervous and - yes - unhappy.

The main goal of parents is not to make children happy, but prepared for life, says Dr. Becky Kennedy, a clinical psychologist and mother of three children.

Many popular approaches to raising children are based on the formation of behavior, and not on education. These methods do not develop the skills necessary for children for life, and do not take into account their emotional needs. Dr. Becky shares his philosophy of education, as well as effective strategies that will help parents move from doubt and anxiety to confident, solid leadership in the family.
