Phillip Mountrose (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 1997

This easy-to-read book gives you a 5-step process to resolve problems with children. It takes you step-by-step through the process on how to shift negative emotions to positive ones, and how to transform limiting beliefs to empowering ones. It works well to promote trust, honesty, school attitude, friendship and self-esteem.

In the process, adults will also build their own confidence as well as learning these highly-effective coping techniques. The "Gettting Thru to Kids" techniques work well for children and teenagers, and promote listening skills in them as well as the adults using this approach.

Charts, diagrams and tips give you the resources you need to get "thru" to the kids in your life, whether you're a parent, educator or counselor.

This review is from: Getting Thru to Kids: Problem Solving With Children Ages 6 to 18 (Paperback)

After reading Phillips book I saw my fourteen year old daughter differently. I saw her as she really is and now she is free to show me her best self. I no longer contribute to her need to hide from me. Our trust has skyrocketed and we are having fun again. Don't let anyone convince you that the teens have to be terrible. Just ask Phillip and read his books.
