Binding: PaperbackEAN: 9780977704002 ISBN: 0977704009 Label: Beyond Consequences Institute, LLC Manufacturer: Beyond Consequences Institute, LLC Number Of Items: 1 Number Of Pages: 127 Publication Date: February 10, 2006 Publisher: Beyond Consequences Institute, LLC Studio: Beyond Consequences Institute, LLC Editorial Review: Product Description: Beyond Consequences, Logic, and Control covers in detail the effects of trauma on the body-mind and how trauma alters childrens behavioral responses. The first four chapters help parents and professionals clearly understand the neurological research behind the basic model given in this book, deemed, The Stress Model. While scientifically based in research, it is written in an easy to understand and easy to grasp format for anyone working with or parenting children with severe behaviors. The next seven chapters are individually devoted to seven behaviors typically seen with attachment-challenged children. These include lying, stealing, hoarding and gorging, aggression, defiance, lack of eye contact, and yes, even a chapter that talks candidly about how parents appear hostile and angry when they work to simply maintain their families from reaching complete states of chaos. Each of these chapters talks in depth on these specific behaviors and gives vivid and contrasting examples of how this love-based approach works to foster healing and works to develop relationships, as opposed to the fear-based traditional attachment parenting approaches that are being advocated in todays attachment field. The authors end with a Parenting Bonus Section. True testimonials from parents who have been able to make significant changes in their homes with this model of parenting, giving real-life examples of how they have been able to find the healing, peace, and love that they had been seeking prior to working through the techniques outlined in this book. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Beyond COnsequences, Logic and Control: A Love Based Approach Helping Attachemnt Challenged Chidlren with Severe BehaviorsI enjoyed reading this book because the language is simple. It is not techinical but straight to basics. It demonstrates perceptions we have that chilren owe us as parents. Traumatized children have a different thought process. It validates the behavior and demonstatrates clear ways of thinking and processing so that the child as well as parent feel safe to rebuild a relationship/trust that was lost. The reader must be open to the process of thinking in a different manner. The techniques take time ... Read More Rating: - No to tough loveWe have been so indoctrinated with the "Tough Love" approach when our children get tough that it is hard for us to believe a different way can work. Heather makes us look at the risks of tough love and gives us good reason to look to the fear beneath the child's behavior and see that tough love only increases that fear. The child needs connection not disconnection in order to feel safe and once again regulated. Rating:  - Another Get Rich Scheme by Bryan PostNONE OF THIS ILL-DEFINING PARENTING METHOD HAS BEEN VALIDLY RESEARCHED. This is a rehash of Bryan Post's parenting programs, essentially based on the simplistic notion that if a parent merely acknowledges (or presumes) a child's emotions which are supposedly connected with a particular bad behavior, then the child will never repeat that bad behavior ever again; nothing more is really necessary. Thus the title "Beyond Consequences, Logic..." Others might suggest that children are more ... Read More Rating: - Good for all Parents & Teachers to readI bought this book after hearing others speak about it. I think every person who works with children in some capacity or is a parent should read this book. Yes it is primarily geared to those kids with more severe behavior challenges, but every kid at some point "acts out". This book (and her website) give great insight on why kids act out and how to handle it instead of yelling or punishing in traditionals ways. No more time outs! Try a time in :o) The reason I don't give it the 5th star is ... Read More Rating: - "Dr." PostSince I purchased and read this book, I have found out that Bryan Post's credentials are suspect. His PhD is from a college (Columbus University School of Public Administration) that is basically a diploma "mill" where anyone can get a "PhD" for a price. He has been reprimanded by the Oklahoma State Board of Licensing and forced to use a disclaimer in all his advertising. (All these facts can be found by searching online) In my opinion while Bryan Post has some very good ideas and is a dynamic public ... Read More |
