by Rowan Roffe (Author), Aileen Jarvis (Author)

If You've Ever Allowed a Three-Year-Old's Temper Tantrum to Ruin You, Then Keep Reading

... and learn the no-nonsense approach to positive parenting and raising emotionally intelligent kids

You're in the middle of the supermarket, and your three-year-old is in full meltdown mode over an icicle. There's yelling, there are tears and snot flying everywhere. Do you:

1. Give in and buy the icicle because you're way too embarrassed
2. Engage in a yelling match with your kid, i.e., lose your marbles completely
3. Drag your kid yelling and screaming out of the supermarket
4. Calmly but firmly stand your ground and tell your little one snacks are waiting for them at home?

Now that you look at it, the correct answer is probably obvious. In the heat of the moment, however, most parents will react instinctively and do irrational things due to stress and exhaustion.

Let's face it - even the best and kindest of kids throw temper tantrums. In fact, statistics show that 87% of 18 to 24-month-olds will have a total meltdown every once in a while.

But it doesn't end there. Of all three to four-year-olds, 50% will still continue with temper tantrums.

How long can you stand your ground when these become a regular occurrence?

Even moms who are as cool as a cucumber will want to punch the wall simply because a five-year-old can't be rationalized.

Being a parent is tough.

Learning through trial and error, however, isn't an option when your kid's well-being and future are on the line.

Mastering the right parenting techniques early on in life is important because:

• Intense early childhood parental involvement helps kids develop to the best of their abilities
• Mindful parenting also contributes to better social development for children
• Positive parenting can impact generations - not only your kids but the way they interact with their own children
• You will be establishing a bond with your child that will last a lifetime

You certainly understand the importance of being a hands-on parent. Like many others, however, you may be clueless about how to approach discipline, boundaries, and positive reinforcement.

Of all parents, 57% struggle to find the most effective way to discipline kids.

Parenting with Purpose provides the answer.

Good parenting is based on mutual respect, open communication, and transparency. This is just one of the key lessons included in the latest book by child development experts Aileen Jarvis and Rowan Roffe.

In Parenting with Purpose, you'll discover:

• What exactly is parenting with purpose - actionable tips and no mumbo jumbo
• How your child's mind functions - little ones don't process information as adults!
• And 2 loving, nurturing parenting styles that can help you establish a strong bond with your kids
• How to handle the mighty temper tantrum like a boss (the one thing all parents are probably dying to find out)
• The secret of setting boundaries and outlining clear consequences, whether positive or negative
• The answer to the big question: should a parent ever try to be their child's friend?
• Effective approaches for dealing with a teen rebel
• Actionable insights, real-life examples, and communication exercises to strengthen the skills you've just learned

And much more.

As a bonus, the book will apply the techniques to real-life situations that parents struggle with. If you dread mealtime or getting kids ready for kindergarten in the morning, this is the reading material you should have on your nightstand.
