How to Tame the Tumbles

Résumé du livre

"How to Tame the Tumbles pushes the literature and practice of mindfulness to a new frontier where parents and children, together, can find an avenue to self-compassion. This concise and engaging book of fourteen chapters will guide parents and children towards a new appreciation as to how they can deal with the 'tumbles' that inevitably arise from time to time. The book also includes helpful exercises and resource materials to 'tame the tumbles.'"Emotion regulation is a hot topic these days. One of the under-lying factors in emotion regulation is self-compassion, or inner compassion. Just reflect for a moment, as Eileen Beltzner invites us to do in this book, how we feel when a loving person listens to us and comforts us when things go wrong in our lives. Self-compassion is the skill of doing that for ourselves, when we need it the most, and it can have a profound effect on our lives ... Eileen Beltzner's charming book ... forms a narrative and deftly engages parents in the teaching aspect (of self-compassion) for children ... She has worked with kids and adults for the past 40 years as a social worker and a clinician, has her finger on the pulse and has found a delightful way to make her insights come alive for children and their parents. I hope this book tumbles into the hands of many people for years to come." From the Foreword by Christopher K. Germer, Ph. D."--
