Confident Parents, Remarkable Kids: 8 Principles for Raising Kids You'll Love to Live with (Paperback)
Description
When a child believes he is bad, he behaves badly--and parents react badly, which will only reinforce the child's belief that he is bad. But confident parents can break this cycle and improve their child's misbehavior, says child development specialist Bonnie Harris. Using Harris's eight parenting principles designed to help children succeed, parents will learn the following truths:
- my child wants to be successful
- behavior is the signal to my child's emotional state
- inappropriate behavior means my child is having a problem, not being a problem
- my needs are no more or no less important than my child's
- I accept my child as a competent and unique individual
- the behavior I focus on grows
- I need to say what my child can hear
- good discipline requires connection
- punishment breaks connection
Putting these principles to work allows parents to abandon the typical reward and punishment system of discipline (which alienates child and parent), and replace it with a more compassionate, successful approach that brings parent and child together. With Harris's plan, parents will gain the confidence and skills to raise remarkable kids they will love to live with--and vice versa.

Unexpected credit card charge?
IMPORTANT NOTICE
It was discovered earlier this year that our Credit Card processing company Worldpay, Inc. did not fully process over 200 credit card transactions at our Milford/Nashua location. The transactions appeared to go through at the time of purchase and at the close of business every day. After that, the transactions froze, customers were not billed on their statements and we were not notified.
Several customers brought this to our attention and we initiated an investigation at Worldpay. Worldpay eventually produced a report of all the transactions that were authorized but never finally processed. Those charges were pushed through in mid-June. If you made a credit card purchase at our Milford location or in Nashua in late November of early December of 2019 the transaction may not have been processed. If you are unexpectedly seeing a charge from us on your current statement it may be one of those not previously fully processed. You would not have been billed for it before. Please check your records to confirm and let us know if you have any questions.
Unfortunately, we do not retain customer contact information. We do not require a phone number for charge/debit purchases and the machines purposefully do not retain any contact info for your protection. We would have preferred to contact anyone affected to let them know, but there is no way to do so.
We at The Toadstool Bookshops sincerely regret any headaches or inconvenience this may cause. We have the original transaction information available from Worldpay and will be happy to provide it to anyone disputing a transaction. We also have a statement from them saying that this was an issue on their part and not the fault of The Toadstool Bookshops.(See below).
The credit card processor is confident that they are correct. OF COURSE if anyone has a question please call us at 603-673-1734 or email manager@mtoad.com and we will immediately issue a refund.
Thank you and again our apologies for the inconvenience.
The Toadstool Bookshop,
Worldpay is committed to servicing all of our customers as quickly and effectively as possible. The Nashua location ran into terminal settlement/equipment issues. This was not due to any negligence or delay by Toadstool Bookshop. Since February 2020 the issue has been resolved but certain transactions were not processed. We do apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.
Thank you for your business!
