At the time of the birth of a firstborn child, 60% of mothers and 80% of fathers do not feel confident in feeling adequately prepared for their new role of being a parent (according to a UNICEF survey). Are you desperate to stop the never-ending crying of your infant? Do you ever feel guilty that you're the fortunate parent of a beautiful baby who sometimes just drives you completely insane? Are the sleepless nights, poop-filled days, and the lack of support from your significant other leaving you overwhelmed? Well, at some point during the first few weeks almost every mom will find herself completely exhausted, praying for the crying to stop, and realizing that she never thought it would be that hard.... I have written this very short guide to share my tips as a mother of two on how to not just survive but actually ENJOY the first year, learn how to navigate newborn's feeding habits, easily calm the cries, and help baby to sleep better. You can read a lot on parenting an infant, but no matter how much you want to prepare yourself, your baby will always be unique and bring up unexpected challenges. Therefore I believe that it all comes down to learning the basics on how to approach this beautiful adventure the right way: 1. If you can learn to better deal with stress in general, you will be a more energized and relaxed parent. 2. Babies have very basic needs: eat, sleep, comfort, and love. Master this and you will be a hero on the battlefields of parenting. This book does not teach you in detail how to handle every situation with a baby such as how to bathe them, what vaccines are needed when, or how to put on a diaper properly. You should refer to a complete newborn guide for that. This book is written for busy new moms. It only focuses on the essentials: your mindset and the basics for the baby (feeding, sleeping, and comforting). Here you will learn: - how to feel less irritable, more relaxed, and be more patient with your little one - how to stop feeling guilty if you don't love every second or always feel ecstatic as you thought a new mother should - tricks to calm and comfort almost any cries - how to bring new habits into your life that will help your baby fall asleep and stay asleep - understand the basics of infant feedings More important than anything else, you can become more confident about your own mommy instincts and react with more patience. Don't blindly enter into parenthood and don't let the first months ruin your perceptions of yourself as a parent. The mixed feelings you can experience during this time are probably the most difficult part for any new parent. Don't be afraid to acknowledge those different emotions, and hopefully even learn how to share them. Take the first step to inform yourself and feel immediately relieved that you aren't the only one dealing with the ups and downs of life with a newborn. It's time to become a more relaxed parent! Free Gift This book also comes with very useful cards of parenting tips (for example, learn how to swaddle a baby and calm instantly almost any cries).

Forget everything you thought you knew about how to motivate your child-at school and at home, or to simply get them to listen to you. The secret to good behavior and self-confidence, or even high performance, has little to do with attention or talent. It lies mainly with what we repeatedly and regularly do. In today's fast-paced and turbulent world, what makes the biggest difference in terms of thriving and happiness for kids (and for parents) is essentially the craving for learning, creating new things on your own, and making sound decisions for yourself. And this emotional intelligence can be cultivated from an early age through repetitive and positive habits. While the old-fashioned carrot-and-stick approach worked successfully in the past, we now better prepare our children for the tumultuous environment we live in through powerful mental habits. We give them the tools to adjust to continuous change, not feel overwhelmed, respond calmly, and always find the motivation within themselves. You can teach your child to be more patient, more independent, and to take responsibility for their satisfaction, even as a toddler and without being lavish nor extremely severe in your parenting style. Unlock the power of routines for a greater family life, to raise responsible children, and to enjoy hassle-free days! A habit is defined by Wikipedia as a "settled or regular tendency or practice, especially one that is hard to give up." If you are like me and think that regular routines sound boring, but you are still struggling to get your children's needs to fit to your own lifestyle, not even mentioning finding time for what really matters in life, then this book might give you some framework on how to get your kids more self-sufficient and overall improve your family life. As human beings, we are extremely habit driven. Habits are a big deal. Your habits, or routines, become who you are. Psychologists agree this plays a major role in our characters, especially when forming personality traits in early childhood. With positive habits you can help your child develop top qualities to take into their adult life. Positive habits can also help you as a parent to free up time and connect deeper with your child It'll come easier and easier to have a fulfilled and happy day when you master a few spots in your day. Routines set limits with love and firmness and can put many activities on automatic mode. This, in return, will free up great chunks of time for bonding rather than spending on discipline. Choose and practice good habits and things will come easy for you and your family. Habits impact our success in just about everything we do, be it health, relationships, sports, school, or any activities. Say goodbye to constant arguing, raise confident and caring children who thrive, and have more fun in your parenting role Inside the book, you'll discover: How children can amazingly become more cooperative and respectful and grow into extraordinary adults equipped with powerful mental tools for life; What a routine is (for instance, for a smooth, on-time morning) and how to successfully install it in your home within 30 days; How to break a bad habit without drama; Plenty of examples and daily life stories from our family with two young boys (ages two and five) And my favorite, most powerful habits (hint: my secret pause button).

Best for children age 1.5 - 4 Fed up with the constant arguing and feeling like you can't get ahead of your three-year-old's constantly changing wants, needs, and opinions? Always stressed to make the early meeting on time? And by the time you arrive at the daycare you already feel exhausted before your real workday even starts? Do you only get "no" as an answer, or "more, more, more" before they burst into tears and cry? Would you love to have a pause button when your little one is throwing a tantrum at the supermarket? Do you find yourself losing your temper when your kids misbehave and no matter how many times you remind them, they just keep doing the things you want them to stop doing? There is no such thing as stress-free parenting, and by the way-no perfect parent either. We will always mess up, that's part of the game. But, the good news is that it is possible to get small children to cooperate and to have fun together as a family. It just takes a few minor mental adjustments in the way we, as parents, react. You have probably noticed that when you feel more relaxed things go smoother, right? Let me share my tips as a mother of two on how to keep your cool as a parent, have your children listen better, and how to create some wonderful family moments together. By all means, I have not perfected parenting. Not by a long shot. What works with my family may not always work with yours-and never forget that each child is as unique as the next. Each phase of development can play a role in how you manage your parenting skills also. But despite the differences between children and families, I have found that a few principles can make managing toddlers much easier: 1. If you can learn to better deal with stress in general, you will feel more energized and be a more relaxed parent. 2. Small children, like most of us, are very driven by habits. Take advantage of this powerful autopilot to model behaviors while raising responsible small people. 3. Talk to your kids in a way that they actually can process your answers and requests, that is non aggressive and invites them to react adequately. Your parenting tool set to staying calm, eliminating the whining and living a fun family life. Throughout this book you will find ways to: - bring new habits into your life and home that can help children to better understand the rules - feel less irritable; be more relaxed and more creative in your reactions - save your evenings and enjoy adult time without interruption - teach young children how to be more self-sufficient (and responsible!), get ready faster, contribute to household chores, and play independently - stop feelings of guilt and doubt when you must discipline - pick up new ideas to handle typical parent/child conflicts - enjoy your children, laugh more, and connect deeper With children it's difficult to always be on top, especially if the nights are short and you are trying to juggle it all. Having practical tips to stay creative, try something new, and constantly remind yourself of some guidelines on the path towards mindfulness, happiness, and conscious living can only be a good thing. Try what speaks to you and use it at the next conflict. Get ready for radical family life changes and be prepared for more playful times!
