Raising Lions

De: Joe Newman

Narrado por: Joe Newman

Current child-rearing techniques seek to develop children who are confident, self-assured, and unafraid to speak their minds-lions instead of lambs. Although largely positive, this shift has brought with it some very serious problems in our children's behavior. Without going back to an authoritarian model, Joe Newman has developed new ways of helping children develop the ability to self-regulate without undermining their confidence, and individuality.

“One of the best books on child-rearing. Joe Newman describes a cultural shift that has reinforced anxiety and behavior disorders in children by negating parental authority. Even more important, he provides specific, non-punitive ways for parents to help their kids by taking back their authority. Filled with examples and experiences from the author’s own life as a child with A.D.H.D., the book is a treasure-trove of useful information.” (Barry Michels, psychotherapist and New York Times bestselling author of The Tools)

“This book is packed with useful information. It is an insightful and practical guide for managing children. I would recommend it to any parent.” (L. Alan Sroufe, Professor Emeritus Ph.D. University of Minnesota)

Raising Lions challenges us to re-examine our interactions and relationships with children, re-think the root causes of behavior problems, and find new ways to support healthy, happy development.

For over 20 years Joe Newman has worked with children, parents, teachers, and administrators to help them understand and improve child behavior.

Wish I had listened to this book when my son was younger!

I’ve read so many parenting books and this is by far the most impactful with my son. I’ve been practicing the Whole Brain approach to parenting, which is awesome, but this meet the hand approach that Joe describes is the missing piece in parenting for us. I have recommended this book to all of my friends and family who have kids.

Insightful and Helpful

Does a great job at describing child developmental stages and the correlation between independence and dependence on others. We want our kids to be interdependent. Acknowledging others will, while also having their own will and autonomy. Key take aways are acknowledging child’s feelings (even if irrational) and setting boundaries for behavior while also showing you love and care for them.

Excellent Book!

I highly Recommend this book for anyone who works with or raising their own lion children!

A Life Changing book

If you're a parent who wants to raise a strong willed happy child, read this book.

Perfect timing for our two-year old

Immediately actionable advice. Compassionate, sensible, strong parenting advice. Just started putting it into practice bit it worked immediately.

this book is very exceptional

I have a daughter that just turned a year old. I heard about this book through Bryan Callen on The Joe Rogan Experience. I am so glad that I listen to it, I even got the paper back to follow along and highlight notes! this is provided me with such an in-depth understanding on how to make sure that I have the healthiest relationship with my daughter as she grows. I appreciate all the knowledge shared throughout this book!

the secret to powerful kids mental health

This is such a comprehensive guide of how to discipline a kid compassionately and healthily, so that they can be productive and happy members of society as they grow up. Personally this book has taught me a lot about my own nature and how some of the things that my parents did made me develop false preconceptions about the world. I'm going to recommend this book to everyone who I possibly can.

I love this book!

I love how the author explains his techniques in a point by point basis. I really appreciate the fact that he disagrees with corporal punishment. My dad beat the crap out of me and awls it did was made me more sneaky.

Super helpful

I found the breaks to work exceptionally well with my child. John’s ideas are sound and offered me fantastic approaches.

Important for Every Parent Raising Children Today. A Must Read!

I have been a Montessori School teacher for 45 years where we use actions and natural consequences to help children learn to control their behavior. Over the years I have seen a major decline in parents ability to set limits and use logical, natural consequences for their children. The results? They are that the children are less happy and academic and behavioral education is delayed by at least a year. Three year olds who come to us now are in what we used to call two year old behavior.
This book gives a simple, understandable methods to help parents successfully guide children.
This book is required reading for our staff and parents who wish to enroll their children in our school.
