I finished Parenting Without Power Struggles: Raising Joyful, Resilient Kids While Staying Cool, Calm and Connected by Stiffelman, Susan; Mylis, Kimberly A on Kindle

This is a really good book for anyone having power struggles with their children. It helps to remind us why remaining cool while the kids are getting out of hand helps us to remain captain of the ship... She offers helpful advice and conversations so you can see how different situations might play out. At the end of every chapter she answers questions she has received from real parents.

She talks about the six stages of attachment and how lacking in any area can make it more difficult to connect to your kids and that it's easier to get desired behaviors when your connected to your kids... She use concrete examples of how to connect even if you don't have anything in common...

I feel like this book was easy to read. She writes in a style that feels like you are listening to her speak and the examples are easy to follow... She gives good advice...
