Act Don't Yak and Cut out Half the Yelling in Your Family
Susan Tordella
With four children born in seven years, Susan Tordella was not the best mother until she took a positive parenting workshop that changed how she spoke to her children and their responses. Act Don't Yak is an introduction to how you can follow Susan's journey from yelling, threatening and punishing to using family meetings, encouragement, mutual respect and natural and logical consequences. These easy-to-learn strategies to act more and yak less for tots-to-tweens will lower your blood pressure and guilt, and raise the confidence and self-esteem of every member of your family. Laughing and participation are expected during the workshop. The author of "Raising Able: How Chores Empower Families," Susan Tordella, M.A., has led parenting workshops based on Adlerian psychology for more than a decade, saying, "You teach what you most need to learn." Her four children now ages 23-30 call home, but not for money. Visit her blog at www.raisingable.com, and hear Susan every Monday morning on radio WCAP 980 as The Parenting Expert and regularly on WBZ 1030 "The Parent Report" with Doug Cope.
