At first I thought I was reading this one for work, and I saw from the title that it only concerns parents or teachers... but my interest grew bigger soon after I started with it.

It helps us to know more about ourselves now, when we understand what got us here and this book takes us way back to childhood. It shows us the links between some of our insecurities or securities and the parenting techniques or lack of techniques we received as children. We see how some of our characteristics and tendencies began to evolve.

What I would like to share from this book is some chapters' titles.

The Five Messages of Positive Parenting:
- It's okay to be different.
- It's okay to make mistakes.
- It's okay to express negative emotions.
- It's okay to want more.
- It's okay to say no, but remember mom and dad are the bosses.

The Four Temperaments:
-Sensitive children need listening and understanding.
- Active children need preparation and structure.
- Responsive children need distraction and direction.
- Receptive children need ritual and rhythm.

And The Different intelligences:
- Academic intelligence.
- Emotional intelligence.
- Physical intelligence.
- Creative intelligence.
- Artistic intelligence.
- Common sense intelligence.
- Intuitive intelligence.
- Gifted intelligence.

I do recommend it to self-explorers and I think it's a must-read for parents and teachers.

Very good once he gets to the point!! I think this book should be summarized to half of it. Over 350 pages is too much for what he has to say. And the question" HOW do I do that."arises a lot while I'm reading. Maybe everything will come clear at the end. Otherwise there are a lot of important points about parenting I learned from here that I wouldn't have known elsewhere. I'm a Bit skeptical about the part about avoiding fear based methods,I think there should be at least a tiny part of it. The chapter about minimizing resistance is good though,tells you how to deal with every kind of child.

I skimmed a lot, but appreciated the techniques in here. Skip this repetitive read, and give your kids 5 things:

1. Permission to be different, which enables children to discover, appreciate, and develop their unique inner potential and purpose.
2. Permission to make mistakes, which enables children to self-correct, learn from their mistakes, and achieve greater success.
3. Permission to express negative emotions, which teaches children to manage their emotions and develop a feeling awareness that makes them more confident, compassionate, and cooperative.
4. Permission to want more, which helps children develop a healthy sense of what they deserve and the skill of delayed gratification. They are able to want more, and yet be happy with what they have.
5. Permission to say no, which enables children to exercise their will and to define a true and positive sense of self. This freedom strengthens children鈥檚 mind, heart, and will and develops a greater awareness of what they want, feel, and think. This permission to resist authority is at the basis of all the positive-parenting skills.

Then every time you need cooperation, do the following steps:
1. Ask for what you want child to do
2. Listen and validate feelings
3. Offer a related reward if possible ("If you get PJs on now, we'll have time for a story")
4. Give a command ("I want you to..."). Repeat this command several times if necessary.
5. Give a time out (not a punishment, but a chance for child to regain self control)

Thanks to my journal, I discover that I read some parenting books in the year 2008. But why???

I remember this to be a bulky book and I definitely can't remember all the principles that are shared until I read it again. Here are 5 messages to positive parenting.
1. It's okay to be different
2. It's okay to make mistakes
3. It's okay to express negative emotions
4. It's okay to want more. [Though I have an issue with this- if it's okay to want more, then how will I teach them contentment?] Maybe that was explained but I didn't put it down.
5. It's okay to say no, but Mom and Dad are the bosses.

Berikut poin-poin bagus yang mel dapet dari bacaan yang remarkable ini...

penulis kawakan ini bahkan membutuhkan 30 tahun untuk mengembangkan kemahiran mengasuh secara positif yang tertuang dalam buku ini. 16 tahun sebagai penasihat, serta mempelajari situasi terutama dari problema para orangtua. 14 tahun untuk mengembangkan aplikasinya...

* Bagian penting dalam mengasuh anak adalah mencurahkan kasih sayang, waktu dan energi sepenuhnya. Kasih sayang adalah hal utama, tapi ternyata kasih sayang saja tidak cukup.
orangtua perlu memahami apa kebutuhan-kebutuhan unik anak2nya. tanpa pemahaman, orangtua tak akan bisa mendukung mereka dengan efektif. banyak yang sudah melewatkan waktu bersama anak2, tapi tak mampu [belum kali yaa:] untuk memenuhi keinginan/kebutuhan anak. anak malah menolak usaha orantua...
maka diperlukan cara-cara baru dalam mengasuh anak...dan tinggalkan cara-cara lama...

* Banyak orangtua yang tidak terlibat dalam mengasuh anak2 mereka tidak menyadari betapa besarnya kegembiraan bersama anak2 mereka, yang tak mereka rasakan.

* Masalah pada anak2 bermula dari rumah, dan dapat diatasi di rumah.

* Memupuk kemauan anak & bukan menjinakkannya adalah dasar untuk menciptakan rasa percaya diri, sikap kooperatif, dan memahami perasaan orang lain pada diri anak.

* Tujuan membesarkan anak-anak secara positif adalah menciptakan anak2 yang punya kemauan, tapi bersikap kooperatif. Tujuannya bukan menciptakan anak baik2, tapi membuat anak bersikap mengerti terhadap perasaan orang lain. Tujuan menciptakan anak2 menjadi kooperatif tidak sama dengan menciptakan anak2 'penurut'. Anak-anak kooperatif masih menginginkan apa yang mereka inginkan, tapi mereka lebih ingin menyenangkan orangtua mereka....

* Kehidupan bermoral tidak dipaksakan dari luar pada anak2 tapi timbul dari dalam dan dipelajari melalui kerjasama dengan orangtua.

* Hukuman membuat orangtua/guru menjadi musuh yang harus ditinggal bersembunyi, bukan menjadi orangtua yang harus didatangi untuk dimintai dukungan. Dulu hukuman untuk mempertahankan kendali sebagai orangtua, tapi sekarang malah sebaliknya. Karena anak-anak sekarang lebih sensitif, dalam artian mudah meng-copy tindakan buruk dengan membalas keburukan pula.

* Anak anak mendengarkan bila orangtua juga mendengarkan mereka.

wah..itu baru poin-poin pendahuluan, lom ke halaman 1....
amazing!

* Anak juga membutuhkan waktu 'sendiri' walau dalam hitungan beberapa menit saja, namun anak manja biasanya membutuhkan waktu sendiri lebih banyak, untuk dapat memahami sitasinya.

* Ajari anak untuk meminta, bukan memerintah. dampingi untuk memilih kata yang tepat, seperti kata "tolong.. , ayo.."
bukan dengan kata "jangan.. , sana! ..."

* Kata- ajakan seperti "ayo kita.." efektif untuk anak berumur 9 thn kebawah. untuk setelahnya, lebih efektif dengan bertindak bersama..

* menangani anak remaja ;
bukan dengan memberi kebebasan , tapi menguatkan komunikasi...yang jelas dan terbuka.
karna bila ia merasa tidak diterima di rumah, maka ia akan mencari dukungan dari temannya.

salah satu poin yang bagus :

"Anak-anak tidak pernah jelak, mereka hanya lepas dari kendali"

* kalau orangtua berpinmdah ke bawah garis generasi, maka anak mungkin terpaksa menjadi dewasa terlalu dini.

* kalau orangtua membutuhkan dukungan emosional, sepantasnya mereka mendapatkan dari orang yang berada diatas generasinya, bukan kepada anak.

John Gray. Vaikai kil臋 i拧 dangaus

Kaip stipriai mes mylime savo vaikus?

Dauguma atsakyt懦, kad beproti拧kai, ta膷iau tikrai atsirast懦 diskusij懦 apie tai, kaip reikia vaikus aukl臈ti.

Vieni palieka k奴dikius i拧siverkti ir nepuola j懦 膷i奴膷iuoti, kiti teigia, kad atliepti poreikius reikia nedelsiant. Vieni pasisako u啪 tvirt膮 啪od寞 ir autoriteting膮 aukl臈jim膮 鈥� vaikai turi paklusti t臈vams, kiti ie拧ko b奴d懦, kaip aukl臈ti vaikus 拧velniai ir pozityviai. John Gray 鈥濾aikai kil臋 i拧 dangaus鈥� 鈥� tai pozityvaus aukl臈jimo principais pagr寞sta knyga, kuri suteikia instrument懦 geb臈ti vaikus suvaldyti kitais metodais nei patys papras膷iausi 鈥� 寞sakin臈jimas, balso pak臈limas.

John Gray mano, kad vaikams reikia duoti laisv臈s pasirinkti ir elgtis su jais kaip su ma啪ais 啪mogu膷iais, turin膷iais savo charakter寞 ir nuomon臋. Klaidinga manyti, kad tik vaikai turi derintis prie t臈v懦 gyvenimo 寞pro膷i懦. Priimdami nauj膮 gyvyb臋 寞 拧eim膮, mes prisiimame atsakomyb臋, jog leisime jiems 寞silieti 寞 m奴s懦 kasdienyb臋 ir b奴ti tokiems, kokie jie yra. Visuomet tik臈jau, kad vaikai pasirenka t臈vus, tad pagalvokime, koki膮 laim臋 ir dovan膮 jie mums padaro.

Knygos atpasakoti prasm臈s n臈ra, tad pasidalinsiu vienu mane sudominusiu momentu. Kiekvienas vaikas turi savit膮 charakter寞/temperament膮, tad aukl臈jimas tur臈t懦 b奴ti adaptuotas remiantis juo. Kas turima mintyje?

1. Jautrus vaikas. Nori b奴ti i拧girstas ir suprastas. Turime skirti jam daugiau laiko ir d臈mesio. Padeda atidus klausymas bei jausmas, kad yra ne vieni拧i.

2. Aktyvus vaikas. Link臋s veikti ir yra orientuotas 寞 rezultat膮. Kasdienoje turi veiksmu plan膮. Tokiam vaik懦 tipui John Gray si奴lo nustatyti taisykles, ribas bei kas vadovauja. Jei nori b奴ti nugal臈tojais, s臈km臈 jiems geriausia paskata. Kaip tvarkytis su aktyviu vaiku? Apibr臈啪ti k膮 veiksime, kaip tai atliksime, duoti u啪duoti. Valdyti su procesu arba eikvojant jo energij膮 u啪duotimis.

3. Reaktyv奴s vaikai. M臈gsta prie拧tarauti. Kaip elgtis? Reikia sutiekti galimyb臋 priimti sprendimus, gerbti j懦 nuomon臋. Nem臈gsta tvarkytis, tad geriau 寞 proces膮 寞sitraukti ir tai daryti kartu.

4. Iml奴s vaikai. Reikia ritual懦 ir ritmo. Jiems 寞domu, ko galima tik臈tis, nori 啪inoti gyvenimo t臈km臋. Nem臈gsta neapibr臈啪tumo. Reikia dienotvark臈s ir rimto. Laikas valgyti ir miegoti ir pan. Labiau nurodyti, k膮 daryti, pasakant 鈥瀌abar laikas". Jiems tuomet atrodo, kad viskas pagal plan膮 vyksta. M臈gsta steb臈ti, jis jau膷iasi dalyvaujantis steb臈damas. Nem臈gsta, kai trukdo, nes patinka pabaigti visk膮 iki galo. Jiems reikia meilumo ritual懦. Pvz. laikas kartu ka啪kokio proceso metu.

Man tai i拧 ties懦 atrodo vertinga. Net jei 寞 knygoje pateikiam膮 informacij膮 啪i奴r臈sime kriti拧kai, tikiu, kad atsiras princip懦, kuriuos nor臈sime i拧bandyti kasdienoje. Ar dar kart膮 skir膷iau savo laik膮 鈥濾aikai kil臋 i拧 dangaus鈥� knygai? Tikrai taip. T臈vyst臈s patarim懦 negali b奴ti per daug.

I found some of his advice to be interesting, but he tends to go on and on in his writing and I found myself skipping over paragraphs because it seemed so repetitive. I do really like his steps for encouraging obedience from children...although he doesnt call it obedience really, he calls it childrens natural desire to please their parents. I have been discouraged lately as I hear my son mimic orders to me and I don't like it. So, following Dr. Gray's advice to ask "Would you....please?" brought about immediate changes in how my son talks to me now. There are some more steps that come after the initial request, should the child choose to say No, that I still need to work on in order to see how effective it is, but overall - reading this book was a nice reminder to just be more polite to my son and even my husband. The atmosphere in the house has changed for the better.

This was highly recommended to me. However, so far, it hasn't given me any earth-shattering news. Don't beat your kids. (anyone surprised?) Then it has focused on parents focusing on the positives with their kids rather than the negative.

Okay, so I got through chapter 9 and just couldn't do anymore. This has good ideas, but it's all obvious. Don't beat your kids. Use positive messages instead of threats. Thanks- learned that in 101 of teaching. If I hadn't been a teacher, this would have been much more helpful. But the book was SO repetitive. I felt like I was reading the same chapter over and over again...

Oh well. :)

I'd recommend this to anyone struggling with any children. Just don't expect a FUN read...

I felt quite disappointed and did not even finish reading this book. Some of the advice are interesting but others seem pretty unrealistic to me. I agree with Gray's approach of avoiding punishment, physical or psychological, but his method has not convinced me fully. The practical examples he gives on how to speak to children seem very unlikely to me. Furthermore, the book is quite repetitive and lengthy.

Loved the 鈥減ositive parenting鈥� concept. Some of my personal education towards son was so undescribed, I did not have any pattern or felt bad while telling him things too roughly according to my personal feeling, as my parents did. I am happy that I found information how to tell hard things without negativity, pressure or motiv. That鈥檚 a really great book which I think to use as notes for many years in advance.

Was very helpful!
I don't agree though with some of the ideas but in general I really learned something that has helped me a lot when I first started teaching kg1s!
I highly recommend teachers and parents to go through it once at least!
Thank you Miss Mariam for recommending the book.

This is an excellent book for (new) mamas who are as confused and anxious as I am as my baby approaches toddlerhood! The messages were very clear and came in small chunks. Very easy to absorb and apply. I felt some sort of comfort cloud over me as I read this book. I would definitely recommend it!

I hated this book. I couldn't even finish it. Very opinionated and full of crap.

Den f酶rste boken jeg leste som var skrevet av John Gray var 鈥滿enn er fra Mars, Kvinner er fra Venus鈥�. Den falt ganske godt i smak og gav meg bedre kjennskap til forskjellene i hvordan kvinner og menn tenker. Siden den norske tittelen (Mars og Venus og Barna) gav inntrykk av at denne boken var en videref酶ring av overnevnte bok s氓 fanget den ogs氓 interessen min, men jeg oppdaget fort at den innholdt veldig lite 鈥滿ars og Venus鈥�. N氓r det er sagt s氓 er den positive barneoppdragelsen som Gray fremhever et spennende felt 氓 begi seg ut p氓, og etter 氓 ha testet ut noen av metodene s氓 ser det ut som om det til en viss grad er noe i det. Boken har mye nyttig man kan ta med seg som forelder, men som pedagog klarer jeg allikevel ikke sluke alt forfatteren kommer med, selv om jeg kan si meg enig i en god del, ja, mange av elementene finnes allerede skrevet om i andre nyttige oppdragelsesb酶ker.
Innimellom 酶nsket jeg forskningsmessig belegg rundt det han skriver, men boken innholder verken kildehenvisninger eller henvisning til eventuell forskning rundt metoden han fremmer. Det virker ogs氓 ofte som om det er forfatteren selv som kommer med sine erfaringer og meninger p氓 en reklamerende m氓te. Jeg regner med og vet at en del av det finnes det forskningsmessig belegg p氓, men p氓 andre omr氓der igjen hadde jeg trengt litt mer kj酶tt p氓 beina. Jeg synes ogs氓 boken var litt for lang og gjentakende og kunne godt ha v忙rt kortet ned med n忙rmere 150 sider.

Omr氓der jeg savnet et mer forskningsmessig belegg p氓 er ni氓rsfasen han stadig referer til som en grense hvor man ikke skal gj酶re det og det med barna, eller si det og det, eller oppf酶re seg s氓nn og s氓nn osv. Videre p氓peker han at alle barn alltid gj酶r sitt beste og at de alltid 酶nsker 氓 samarbeide med foreldrene, og n氓r de ikke gj酶r det s氓 kan det virke som det alltid er foreldrenes feil. Her synes jeg forskning hadde v忙rt en god ting. Ja, det trenger ikke v忙re helt feil at barn pr酶ver 氓 gj酶re sitt beste og at de 酶nsker 氓 samarbeide og at det kan v忙re foreldrenes feil n氓r de ikke gj酶r det, men er det slik alltid? Neppe. Da tenker jeg at man frar酶ver man barna noe av sin frie vilje, man overser egoismen som har blitt en del av barnets natur og setter heller all skyld p氓 foreldrene hvis ting g氓r galt. Med dette s氓 mener jeg ikke at sm氓barn skal ta ansvaret for sine feil. Ja, boken har rett i at vi kan gj酶re mye riktig for 氓 f氓 barna v氓re til 氓 samarbeide og yte sitt beste, men det betyr ikke at de alltid gj酶r det selv om vi hadde gjort alt riktig.

En annen ting forfatteren p氓peker er at barn ikke trenger valgmuligheter f酶r de er ni 氓r. N氓 kommer det ikke helt klart fram hva han mener med valgmuligheter, men som pedagog vet jeg at yngre barn har godt av noen valgmuligheter innimellom, bare de ikke f氓r altfor mange ting 氓 velge mellom og ting som kun b酶r v忙re den voksnes ansvar og valg 氓 ta. Jeg er ogs氓 ganske uenig i det boken snakker om rundt det 氓 avlede barn n氓r de begynner 氓 gr氓te eller har skriketokter. Hvor ble det av 氓 ta barnas f酶lelser p氓 alvor? Selv om dette skrives i sammenheng med lettp氓virkelige barn, s氓 b酶r de ogs氓 f氓 anerkjent f酶lelsene sine og bli tatt p氓 alvor. Det kan hende jeg kan ha misforst氓tt noe av det han skriver om akkurat det, siden han ogs氓 skriver mye riktig om det 氓 ta barnas f酶lelser p氓 alvor.

Selv om det er en del 氓 p氓peke i denne boken, s氓 er faktisk mesteparten nyttig 氓 ha med seg i 鈥漮ppdragelseskofferten鈥� sin, og jeg likte spesielt m氓ten man p氓 en god m氓te kan kommandere barn p氓 slik at de gj酶r det du gir dem beskjed om. Det har v忙rt en slags 鈥漨agic bullett鈥� under lesingen. Videre fremhever John Gray viktigheten av 氓 ikke til stadighet kritisere barna sine og p氓peke alle feil de gj酶r, noe som vil kunne g氓 p氓 selvf酶lelsen l酶s, men la barn v忙re barn og v忙r en god samarbeidspartner med dem og ikke glem 氓 vise dem at du virkelig setter pris p氓 dem ved 氓 bl.a. fremme deres positive sider. Jeg velger 氓 gi denne tre sterke stjerner.

The book is repetetive as most of educational books, but the idea and methods inside it are simple and amazing. I started fixing my parenting skills right away and simply was astonished of the fact that they workied imediately !
I do recommend this book to all parents and all teachers.

This book started out great - a new method of parenting with its own principles that I was excited to learn. Then at the halfway mark it started to get very repetitive. It was like Gray didn't know what words he preferred to use so he rewrote the whole book multiple times. Over and over again he focused on WHY positive parenting is great, but I found myself asking HOW a lot - especially with the principle of keeping your authority. In the end, even the basics of positive parenting seemed quite obvious to me without having to read this book - don't hit your child, listen to them and keep it positive. I would love to learn more about this method with the focus on the practical side of it and from a different author.

I am still reading this book. I am not sure whatto say yet. It is new and different than other parenting books I have read and I like the direction it is going in. I want to talk about it more and think about it more but I need to read more!

My husband said when I mentioned one concept,"That is the opposite as the the other book we read!" I said,"I know, just go with it! It cannot hurt to try."

I still am going to get to this book but the one I am reading right now takes priority! (Hold Onto Your Kids)

Some day I will read them all!
