Cracking the Kid Code: Discovering the Secret to Having a Happy Young Child, Family, and Home

 Don’t Spend Another Day Confused And Frustrated With Your Child’s Tantrums.

Re: Toddler Tantrums Driving You Crazy

Dear Concerned Parent,

Recently, I actually had a mother “Claire” call in tears, frustrated from dealing with her four year old’s daily tantrums.

“I love my daughter more than anything in the world.” Mary explained.  “I would give my life for her…but right now I can’t take another minute of listening to her crying and screaming whenever she doesn’t get her way

 or picking fights with her older brother.  I’m trying to be the best I can, but I don’t know what to do!”

When you’re constantly dealing with cranky, whiny children who want everything RIGHT NOW, it can suck the life of out you.

Think back to your excitement at being a new parent…where the worst thing you expected were the infamous 3 AM feedings the first few months.

Now two, three or even four years later, it’s actually worse.  You would gladly take the 3 AM shift if all that meant was you fed, burped, changed a diaper and then could have some peace and quiet.

Unfortunately, you’re dealing with a little person who has a mind of his own…one that almost always wants to do the opposite of what you want and at the worst possible times.

AND YOU CAN’T TAKE IT ANYMORE.

While you love your child and would sacrifice anything for him, you realize that you hate this aspect of parenting.  You’re so tired of the endless power struggles with this tiny person who is a giant in his ability to ruin the peace and happiness in your home.

 Despite How You Feel Right Now, You’re Not Alone.

In my many years as a teacher, nanny and now parenting coach, I’ve worked with hundreds of parents – many who feel just as desperate and at their wits’ end on how to deal with their out of control children.

Professionally as a parent coach and personally as a mom, it breaks my heart to see so many good, hardworking and loving parents remain confused on how to handle something that isn’t as complicated as they think.

You can break the “toddler code” to discover how to stop a tantrum before it gets started.

I’ve helped many stressed and frustrated parents realize that it only takes small changes but it can make a big difference.  For example, figuring out your child’s body language better helps you read the “meltdown” signs and take proactive steps to avoid one.

It wasn’t long before these same tired, burned out parents turned into relaxed, fun loving ones who finally “got it”.

My methods have worked so well in my practice with many parents over the years, that I put it all together in a great e-book I recently wrote entitled “Cracking the Kid Code:  Discovering the Secret to Having a Happy Young Child, Family and Home. ”

If you’ve bought into the idea that the “terrible twos” is a natural part of being a child…and a rite of passage into parenthood…I have a major announcement for you:

IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE THIS WAY. 

Tantrums, whining and meltdowns from your child can be the exception to the rule.

How can I make such a bold statement when most people accept the “terrible twos”…which usually turn into the “terrible threes, fours, etc…as normal?

It’s possible to enjoy your amazing toddler and keep the tantrums, whining, meltdowns, throwing toys, kicking, screaming, pinching, biting to a minimum.

And anything else they do to act out their frustrations.

Parents Think I’m Crazy When I Tell Them They Can Stop Their Child’s Meltdown Without Raising Their Voices, Making Threats, Giving “Timeouts” Or Any Other Harsh Punishments.

But After Using My Simple Guidelines On How To Connect With Their Child

 I Get Emails All The Time From Thankful Parents!

I’m Shelly Phillips, a parenting coach who has spent the last 17 years devoted to discovering the best ways to nurture happy, well-adjusted children.  As a former Montessori assistant teacher, nanny and now mother, I’ve spent thousands of hours working with thousands of young children. Frankly, without sounding brash, I understand how and why kids behave in certain ways.

In fact, I have a scientific understanding of kids.

In college, I worked with babies in the University of Illinois’ psychology lab with leading French Canadian child psychologist Dr. Rene Baillargeon. We researched how the brain develops in infancy and early childhood.

I also worked with researcher Dr. Judy Deloache doing experiments with toddlers and symbolic reasoning (their ability to understand one thing being represented with something else).

And my studies with  Dr. Kevin Miller were about cultural differences between American and Chinese 3-5 year olds.

I tell you this to let you know…

I have both the clinical background to go along with my everyday experience of understanding how young people think and feel.

I’ve figured out the secrets to dealing with the most common reasons toddlers throw tantrums and how you can stop them.  My e-book, in just a few minutes, has specific, but straightforward action items for you to follow.

Do You Want To Stop Feeling Stressed, Emotionally Drained Or A “Bad” Parent Every Time You Have To Deal With Your Toddler’s Meltdowns?

Being a parent is one of the most rewarding experiences in life.  But it can also be the most frustrating if you don’t know what to do as your child develops.  Babies aren’t born with “how to manuals” for you to understand their unique personalities and needs.  And well-meaning family and friends have tons of advice that may or may not apply to your child.

This e-book cuts out all the guesswork of what to do next when everything you’ve tried hasn’t worked.

Read Cracking the Kid Code: Discovering the Secret to Having a Happy Child, Family and Home  and discover how to avoid the proverbial “terrible twos” in your child.

I’ve divided the book into three sections that first explains how your child develops, then shows the best way to discipline effectively and finally, gives you new strategies to get along with your child.

Here are some highlights from each section:

 Section 1: – Learn what’s happening inside your little one’s head.

 Why stopping a tantrum can be harmful to both you and your child… In fact, actually causing your child to carry around emotional baggage the rest of his life. Pg. 4

  • Six specific guidelines to create a peaceful life between you and your child. Pg. 5
  • Six steps to help your child discover a new way to express himself so that you understand what he really wants and he doesn’t need to act out. Pg. 6
  • Why teaching a three year old to argue can create more peace in your home. Pg. 7
  • Tired of hearing “NO”?  Playing the “YES” game with your child to get more cooperation from her. Pg. 8
  • Why tickling can be scary…even terrifying to some kids. Pg. 11
  • Words your child should  know before his 7th birthday… if he doesn’t there is a good chance he will have a harder time learning compared to other  kids in school… Pg. 12
  • The best way to respond when your toddler starts lying. Pg. 13

 Section 2: Find out how knowing child development will foster more trust with your child.

 Why you should never threaten your toddler when they forget the rules you’ve set. Pg. 14

  • What your child is really thinking when you’re counting to three to get her attention. Pg. 15
  • The most powerful tool you may not realize that you already possess that will gain your child’s cooperation. Pg. 15
  • Why rewards and punishments don’t work. Pg. 18
  • Why the popular “time out” is harmful and encourages your child to lie. Pg. 18
  • How to avoid a power struggle the next time you think your child is “out to get you” Pg. 19
  • Discover a very quick way to go from feeling ho-hum to ecstatic in a few moments especially after your child has just thrown a big time meltdown.  Pg. 21

Section 3:  – Discover new strategies for bonding with your child.

Quick and easy changes in the home that will help cut toddler tantrums by 50%…Pg. 24

  • Why you should let your four year old use sharp objects. Pg. 27
  • Why allowing your child to make messes can actually lead to them begging to clean up. Pg. 28
  • Five different ways to get your child excited about cleaning up and helping you around the house. Pg. 30
  • Turn your “troublemaker” into a “teacher’s pet” in a matter of days…Pg. 34
  • Learn why telling your child she’s “good” or “smart” can actually hurt her self-esteem. Pg. 35

At the end of the book, I provide a Feelings List.  It’s a great resource for you.

If you’re struggling to communicate what’s going on inside their minds  It’s easy to get using using the same “happy”, “sad”, “mad” when their feelings are so much more complex.  This list has almost 300 words that can be used to describe  feelings.  When you’re able to teach your child what just a few of them mean, it makes it easierto figure out how their true feelings.

And when you’re able to get your child to become more expressive,  this is a big step in helping your child to avoid tantrums.

You Have Absolutely Nothing to Lose and Every Chance to Make Your Next Few Parenting Years So Much Easier.

 Why stumble and fumble around blindly in frustration because your toddler’s out of control…

Or slowly build up resentment with your spouse, child and self because your once peaceful home has turned into a Jerry Springer show for toddlers?

Although they say “experience is the best teacher”, it’s not worth learning firsthand how painful being a parent is to a toddler that thrives on tantrums and meltdowns.

In this case, let my experiences as a teacher and parenting coach help give you the simple, practical advice to sidestep all the landmines and pitfalls that most parents fall into all the time.
