ZEN PARENT
Restoring family harmony by understanding stress
Original Title
Parent Zen Comprendre le stress pour rétablir l'harmonie en famille
Don't let stress take control of your relationships with your children!
Parent-child relationships are often complicated and, in the whirlwind of daily life, family conflicts can unfortunately become high-tension generators. Yet it's not the seriousness of the circumstances that determines the stress level in each situation. Stress is an “old instinct” stemming from the reptilian system and designed to sound the alarm when a human being's survival is in danger. So why then are we so stressed when our youngest fails in school? Why do we react so strongly when we find out our teenager has lied to us? While these situations are upsetting, they don't put anyone's life in danger!
But what if stress were a valuable signal telling us something is wrong? If, instead of being an enemy, it became an ally, causing us to be more open-minded and able to find serenity, creativity and empathy in our relationships with our children?
In this book, the authors use the Neurocognitive and Behavioral Approach (NBA) to shed light on the four systems that control the human brain and influence our reactions and decisions. Through simple and effective exercises, learn to call on the most “intelligent” part of your brain to manage conflicts with a light touch and cultivate harmonious family ties in everyday life.
