Your behaviour is the only behaviour over which you have absolute control. To change your children's behaviour, you first need to change your own.

The culture of any home is determined by the parents. If you can remain unflappably calm in the face of every supermarket tantrum and sarcastic eye-roll, order will soon follow.

Here, Paul Dix - Britain's leading children's behaviour expert - reveals how to build a culture of calm consistency into your home, starting today. He explains how you really can maintain a sense of Zen-like serenity in the face of even the most chaotic behaviour, from school-gate screaming matches to mealtime childmageddon. And he offers a set of simple strategies for coolly getting the behaviour you want - without a barked instruction, deranged punishment or cold, hard cash-bribe in sight.

His tried-and-tested method will change what your child does by first changing what you do. You will never need to raise your voice again.

Author Biography

After countless attempts to sabotage his own education, Paul Dix miraculously trained at Homerton College, Cambridge, before going on to work as a teacher at some of the most challenging urban schools. Over the next three decades, Paul would develop a unique approach to behavior change - one rooted in the positive, loving behavior of the adults. His book introducing his method, When the Adults Change, Everything Changes, has become a word-of-mouth phenomenon among teachers and is the biggest-selling children's behavior book of the twenty-first century. Since then, Paul has delivered training and spoken on large stages all over the world, been featured in The Times, Guardian and on BBC News, and seen his framework applied in over 100,000 classrooms worldwide. When, in 2002, Paul became a dad, he began to wonder whether his behavior change method might just work for parents too. Over the next two decades, he would learn how the positive, calm, relational strategies he developed for the classroom can also transform the culture of any home. Now, for the first time, Paul introduces his findings to the most important audience of all: parents.
