Parenting from Hostility to Harmony: 10 Steps to Changing Your Child’s Challenging Behaviour

Living with the fear, stress and exhaustion from your child’s challenging behaviour is one of the hardest and loneliest experiences a parent can face.
Aggressive, defiant, manipulative and violent behaviour doesn’t just impact the parent-child relationship. It isolates families, strains marriages, severs friendships, disrupts work, stops normal life and can lead to long-term damage for everyone involved – including siblings, partners and wider family.
Having been through this herself, Gill Tree trained to become a Practitioner in the well researched parenting method called Non-Violent Resistance (NVR). This book provides 10 Steps to Changing the Challenging Behaviour, with focus on what you can do when outbursts occur. You’ll learn proactive strategies that de-escalate conflict, rebuild trust, strengthen bonds, and create healthy boundaries – even if your child continues to resist. This is suitable for all parents/carers/adopters and special guardians with children with or without the diagnosis of ADHD, FASD or ASD.
