Description

A revolutionary approach to parenting from the 'super-teacher', Britain's biggest-selling expert on children's behaviour Your own behaviour is the only behaviour over which you have absolute control. To change your children's behaviour, you first need to change your own. Your behaviour as a parent is the difference between chaos and calm. It is the gap between strategies falling or succeeding. It is so important that it puts every other factor into a firm second place. In When the Parents Change, Everything Changes, Britain's leading behaviour expert introduces parents to a revolutionary method for changing your behaviour and so changing your children's - tried and tested in over 100,000 schools. Whether using 'positive noticing' as rocket-fuel for better behaviour, or writing rules that don't get instantly binned, or learning what to say to deescalate the wobbliest moments, his tools will turn your home into a behavioural nirvana. It is not just a list of punishments and rewards. It is so much more useful than that.

Author Bio

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 Britain's most challenging urban schools. Over the next thirty years, Paul would develop a simple method for getting better classroom behaviour from students - by first changing the behaviour of the adults. Paul's 2016 book introducing his method, When the Adults Change, Everything Changes, rapidly became a word-of-mouth phenomenon among teachers. The book has now sold over 100,000 copies and remains the biggest-selling children's behaviour book of the twenty-first century. Today, Paul is Britain's best-respected behaviour expert. He has given evidence to Parliament and worked extensively with the Ministry of Justice on behaviour in youth custody. His work has been featured in the Guardian, Daily Mail and BBC News. Now, in When the Parents Change, Everything Changes, Paul's takes his work to a non-specialist audience for the first time.
