Barbara ColorosoReseñas

In this companion to her bestselling Kids are Worth It!, parenting educator Barbara Coloroso shows how parents can help children find a way through grief and sorrow during the difficult times of death, illness, divorce, and other upheavals. She offers concrete, compassionate ideas for supporting children as they navigate the emotional ups and downs that accompany loss, assisting them in developing their own constructive ways of responding to what life hands them.

At the heart of her approach is what she calls the T.A.0. of Family -- Time, Affection, and Optimism -- coupled with her deep understanding of how people move through grief. Barbara Coloroso's clear answers to difficult questions are enriched by uplifting humor and insightful anecdotes from her own experiences as a Franciscan nun, mother of three, and her thirty years as a parenting educator. With this Guide in hand, parents can feel assured that they are responding with wisdom and love when children need them most. Selected Reading Questionnaire.

Coloroso helps readers recognize the characteristic triad of bullying: the bully who perpetrates the harm; the bullied who is the target (and who may become a bully); and the bystander peers, siblings, or adults who don't act to defuse the situation. Selected Reading Questionnaire.

Loved this. Coloroso gives a coherent framework in which we treat children as persons, autonomous and worthy of respect.

A must read for any parent in a world focused on a ¨ME¨ culture and punishment / rewards strategy. Coloroso shows how to reinforce your kids values and keeping their dignity, and yours, intact

Hands down, my favourite parenting philosophy I have ever come across. As a social worker and a teacher, I worship this approaching to raising children. I have used the concept of "self-discipline" in my classroom, and BELIEVE me, it works! Coloroso demonstrates how to give children the tools to effectively solve their own problems with strong guidance and love.

This short history of three major genocides in history along with her analysis on bullying, makes for a very tough but deeply moving book that everyone should read

this a good book i could not stop reading this book

Interesting to learn about how bullies are created, the vicious cycle, how to recognize bullying, and suggestions on how to combat bullying.

An easy-to-read parenting guide that focuses on such stressful occasions as: illness; death; divorce; and children-caused mayhem. Each section is subdivided into advice for each age group. Coloroso's watchword is The T.A.O. of Family, standing for Time, Affection and Optimism.

Coloroso is most known for her books on bullying and child development, so it initially took me several pages to understand why she was suddenly writing about genocide. And then the penny dropped - her argument is that genocide is bullying, writ large. I cannot fault her research, which is extensive and includes interviews with survivors and followers. Her argument, however, seems forced. I agree that bullying and genocidal behaviours may share parallels, however I think the conclusion that genocide is bullying is too clean, too superficial. Correlation, after all, is not causation.½

This bestselling guide rejects "quick-fix" solutions and focuses on helping kids develop their own self-discipline by owning up to their mistakes, thinking through solutions, and correcting their misdeeds while leaving their dignity intact. Barbara Coloroso shows these principles in action through dozens of examples -- from sibling rivalry to teenage rebellion; from common misbehaviors to substance abuse and antisocial behavior. She also explains how to parent strong-willed children, effective alternatives to time-outs, bribes, and threats, and how to help kids resolve disputes and serious injustices such as bullying. Filled with practical suggestions for handling the ordinary and extraordinary tribulations of growing up, kids are worth it! helps you help your children grow into responsible, resilient, resourceful adults -- not because you tell them to, but because they want to.

Outstanding!!

Loved it.
