Parent’s Guide To Calmness

Calm your BIG emotions and strengthen your bond with your kids

The Parent’s Guide To Calmness an e-book, divided into two main parts:

1. An in-depth guide to acquiring Zen-like patience
2. A workbook that will help you become a master of your BIG emotions

In the e-book, I will share my Calmness Formula with you. It will help you stay calm when your child doesn’t listen, misbehaves, or otherwise tests your patience so you can address their behavior without snapping.

By using this formula, you will be able to quickly and calmly turn stressful situations to your advantage.

Most importantly, you will never feel helpless and powerless in these moments again.

This formula will guide you to handle situations peacefully, ensuring that your child’s antics rarely make your blood boil.

Here’s how The Parent’s Guide To Calmness will help you become more in control of your emotions:

Chapter 1: How To Recognize And Avoid Anger Triggers That Are Eating Away At Your Patience

The first step to not losing control is identifying the situations where you feel powerless, unheard, and unable to change your child’s inappropriate behavior.

Therefore, I’ll first guide you through recognizing and “defusing” triggers that usually throw you off balance:

• How to identify the main triggers that instantly make you lose your temper (in three simple steps).
• Ways to avoid triggers that are eating away your patience and tolerance for your child’s misbehavior.
• Key questions to ask yourself to nip anger triggers in the bud.
• How to work with your partner to reduce the frequency of getting upset with your child.
• How checking in with your body can help you calm down before you lose your temper.

Chapter 2: The De-Escalation Formula for Staying Calm Even When Your Child Is On Their Worst Behavior

When you find yourself in a situation where your child is not listening, screaming, or is plain rude, your frustration can build up quickly.

You need strategies you can use in the moment to effectively change your child’s behavior and maintain your calm.

In the second chapter, I will share the following formulas with you:

• The formula for staying patient in stressful situations
• The formula for keeping a clear head when your kids don’t listen
• The formula for staying calm when you are in a hurry
• The formula for maintaining composure when your child is screaming, throwing tantrums, or trying to negotiate with you

Chapter 3: How to Reconnect With Your Child When You Lose Your Cool

Losing your cool here and there does NOT make you a bad parent.

Your child doesn’t need a perfect parent but one who works on regulating their emotions every day.

In the last chapter, you’ll find tips on how to mitigate the consequences after you have lost your temper with your child. You will learn:

• How to approach your child after losing control
• How to reassure your child that you love them, even after getting angry

• How to stop self-blame after losing control

This will help you prevent the negative consequences your unintentional outburst might have on your child and create even deeper bonds with them.

Chapter 4: Practical Exercises for Mastering Anger

Knowledge alone isn’t enough. You can know all the best calming techniques in the world, but if you don’t use them when it matters, they won’t help you.

That’s why, in the final chapter, I’ll walk you through consistent application of what you’ve learned:

• 7 common myths about anger that are keeping you away from mastering your anger (address those and you’ll instantly feel more in control of your BIG emotions)
• The Iceberg of BIG Emotions – identify what lies beneath your anger and how you express it. This exercise will help you notice the warning signs and cool off before your anger takes control
• How to reframe negative thoughts that are causing your knee-jerk reactions to your anger (after reframing, you’ll no longer slide into yelling, scolding, lecturing or spanking your kids when emotions are running high)
• 3 Recipes for Keeping Your Cup Full – Boost your patience and keep your calm throughout the day so you can approach conflict situations with a clear mind (even at the end of the day when you’re most likely to lose your calm)

These simple yet very effective exercises will help you develop automatic calm responses to stressful situations. Calmness will become your default state of being.

From now on, you’ll react patiently and thoughtfully, even in the most challenging moments with your child.
