So What Is The Happy Child Guide About?

The Happy Child Guide is about 3 experts combining 50 years of real life experience, focusing on the positive techniques of disciplining toddlers and children. Natural health doctor Blaise Ryan ,PHD in child development Isaac Romano and parenting coach Ashley Ryan combine their practises in this simple parenting guide.

This e-book goes into great detail discussing the psychology and science of a child’s behaviour and describes which essential practices are required when disciplining toddlers. It explains why the most common discipline methods don’t work at all. For instance, punishment and rewards are regarded as simple time wasters that don’t prove effective at all. Why? When the child becomes stressed, his/her adrenal glands release a steroid hormone known as Cortisol. Cortisol causes the child to whine, throw tantrums, become aggressive or even violent. The more Cortisol a child releases, the more uncontrollable he/she will become, and the less a child releases Cortisol, the more he/she will calmly listen and respect you. Fear triggers Cortisol, and rewards and punishments only create fear in the child, which clearly proves it’s not a positive discipline technique. Most parents cause Cortisol levels to go up in children without knowing it, making innocent mistakes but this e-book provides interesting set of solutions such as diets, resting timetables and simple steps that decrease the Cortisol in a toddler resulting in a better, behaved, disciplined toddler.

What Makes The Happy Child Guide Work So Well?

The explanations, of the 3 highly trained and experienced specialists provided, are mind blowing. Everything you know or believed you know about parenting and disciplining toddlers will appear backwards once you read this guide. The information I have gathered before reading this guide is nothing out of any magazine or article I’ve read, things such as time-outs, rewards, voice alterations and most positive discipline techniques, are actually NOT recommended.  Most parents use the wrong solution when disciplining their children, The Happy Child Guide teaches you to handle bad behaviour by the root of the problem and not just some quick fix program.

The Happy Child Guide is not at all expensive and with the purchase of this e-book, you will be invited to video webinars, have the opportunity to contact the 3 experts mentioned above and be offered many bonuses. There has been great feedback from customers that have used the product and you will also be offered a 30 day money back guarantee which ensures you that this product is completely risk free.

The Negative Aspects Of This Guide

This e-book may not be for everybody, depending on the type of character you are, will make all the difference. If you have your own issues or you are emotionally unstable, it will be more difficult for you to provide the necessary steps and disciplining techniques. Great deal of patience and an open mind are essential in achieving success. Short tempered people will find it harder to implement these disciplinary methods.

Conclusion

I would rate The Happy Child Guide 5 star e-book, the content is of great quality. They have a simple easy- to- follow guides with solutions to every problem possible. I would recommend this complete package to all parents who are having severe or slight problems with disciplining their kids. Finding problems at an early stage and dealing with them accordingly, can make all the difference in your child’s future.

Never Negotiate With Toddler Tantrums

Disciplining Toddlers requires you to never give into your toddlers tantrums if you have disallowed them to do or have something. The situation can be embarrassing, having your toddlers make noise and draw attention to you, but you must be firm with your decision. Never make a compromise. Giving into the toddlers demands will encourage them to have more tantrums, the toddlers will learn when they cannot have something, throwing another tantrum will get them what they want. You are the adult and you must show the toddlers that you are in charge. If the toddlers continue to have tantrums, simply ignore them and just remember tantrums don’t last very long and that applying this positive technique is the correct method of disciplining your toddlers.

Never Let Your Emotions Effect Your Method Of Discipline

Always keep your emotions in control. When the toddler does behave badly, make sure you stay calm and don’t scream or shout at the toddler. Don’t even speak to the toddler at that time because this might encourage the toddler to get into more trouble, in the future, just so he/she can receive more attention from you. At the stage where the toddler is caught, keep eye contact and communication to a minimum, pick them up and place them in a room alone. Remember not to give the toddler any attention, and only when the situation calms down must you approach, discuss and discipline the toddler accordingly.

Never Discipline Your Toddler With A Spanking

Spanking was the only solution for disciplining toddlers in the old days. Studies have shown that kids that received continuous spankings grew up to be more aggressive and violent. When parents do spank their kids, it’s mostly out of anger, this teaches the child that their anger can be transferred onto someone else in the form of physical abuse. Till this day, people still believe that spanking is effective because the child will not attempt the naughty deed again. This may be true, but the child might’ve not learned a valuable lesson, which is the most important part, but rather learnt to fear the spanker.

What Discipline Techniques NOT To Implement On Toddlers

Here are several highly creative discipline tips that have proven to be quite useful.

Toddler Disciplinary Method 1- Gentle Persuasion

This is to manually guide your toddler rather than to rough handle him/her. What not to do when disciplining toddlers is rough handling. This can promote aggressive behavior, while gently guiding the toddler with positive words can help change the toddler’s bad behaviour. For example, if the toddler attempts to grab something that he/she is not supposed to, gently move the toddler’s hands back and say “good, I like to see your hands where they should be”.

Toddler Discipline Method 2- Teach The Toddler Self Management

Teach the toddler self management skills. Sit down with the toddler and explain the results of hard work and the end reward. Make them set goals, starting with small goals, before setting big goals and remind them to stick to their goals rather then nag them what has to be done. This will increase productivity and improve organization.

Toddler Discipline Method 3- Battle Dishonesty

If the toddler is caught being dishonest, make the toddler wear an ugly dishonesty hat or a plastic ‘Pinocchio’ nose. Obviously the toddler mustn’t be thrilled about wearing these dishonesty items, but should feel the actual opposite. Base the length of time he/she wears it on the severity of the lie told.

Toddler Discipline Method 4- Disable Name Calling

Whenever you catch the child name calling (for example calling his/her sister a fat pig), take this opportunity to make the child write down or say 10 positive affirmations about that person they have insulted. Once they have come up with 10 positive affirmations they must apologise and state the 10 positive affirmations to the person they had insulted.

Toddler Discipline Method 5- Breathing exercises

Children who throw tantrums can be taught to calm down simply by taking a few deep breaths. Siblings normally always fight, and sometimes it’s hard to figure out who’s to blame. Instead of trying to figure out who started the problem first, have the children try out some simple breathing exercises which should considerably calm them down.

Toddler Discipline Method 6- Rehearse The Problem

This is highly effective as it makes the child understand the situation from another point of view.  When a problem occurs, make the child role play the adult while you play the role of the child, saying and doing exactly what he/she did. Whilst doing this, make some suggestions the child could have said, so you are basically doing the dialogue of the child and correcting him/her as you go along.

Conclusion

There are certain ways disciplining children and dealing with toddlers, it is turning the negative action into a resolved lesson, and applying several simple methods that can achieve great results.

As everyone knows, disciplining toddlers can be a challenging task. It comes down to a lot of factors such as approach, understanding, communication and care. One needs to understand the daily routine of the toddler in order to understand the actions of the toddler, whilst implementing discipline. Toddlers always follow by example or influence, and because of this, there are many elements to consider such TV, games, sibling(s), friends and family influences. Depending on your situation and the amount of time you can spend with the child, it is always important to ask the child about their day.  For example, what new words they learnt, did they make new friends or meet any new grown ups. This is beneficial as it not only shows the child care and consideration, but also helps understand and break down any unwanted habits the child may have picked up in the course of the day.

There are several ways in dealing with toddlers and positive disciplinary techniques that should be carefully applied. Firstly, one needs to understand that discipline does not necessarily mean punish but rather educate. A familiar method of disciplining your child is to make 10 simple house rules that must be clearly said and understood. A written paper, if the toddler can read, may be necessary and placed on a visible area around the house, like the kitchen fridge. Always welcome questions so the rules are clearly understood and provide the consequences to their misconduct, if any of the rules are broken. You must also provide another disciplinary method known as a reward chart which encourages the rules to be obeyed and respected more. This is a positive disciplinary technique and every week when the toddler behaves respectfully he/she will be awarded a star. When the toddler reaches 4 stars he/she must be rewarded, this in turn will create trust. These rewards can be a number of things such as buying the child a new toy or book, taking them to watch a movie, visiting a friend, allowing a sleepover, television or computer time. If you wish, you can discuss the reward with the child and provide that reward only once they have earned it.

When or rather if a rule is broken, it is highly suggested to use what is known as the time-out disciplinary method. The time-out disciplinary method is when the child broke one or many of the rules, the adult in charge, must lean down to the child’s level and explain to the child which rule was broken and why. Then the adult must create a time-out with the child, depending on the child’s age. For instance if the child is 3 years old, a 3 minute time-out is required. Disciplining toddlers is all about implementing certain positive disciplinary techniques in order to receive transforming results and success.
