How do you turn attitude, strong will, and anger into independence and self-esteem? How to empower your child to manage challenging emotions? Aggression can be a positive driving force: all emotions are great resources if one learns to use them right. This is the Finnish “sisu” that is needed to change the world.
The book offers guidance and tips on how to prevent harm and to reinforce essential life skills and wellbeing. It features a comprehensive step-by-step model of a child’s development based on years of experience and research.
The book provides ideas and tools for encouraging upbringing. Personally, I especially liked the Chain of Anger - that told how events, thoughts, emotions, body reactions, and actions follow each other - and how this chain of anger can be affected. The book contains solid expert knowledge Warm recommendations!
