Raising Stress-Proof Kids

Drawing on cutting edge research from the Institute of HeartMath, California, as well as Shelley Davidow s extensive experience in working with children and teens, "Raising Stress-Proof Kids" explores the powerful and potentially long-term effects of stress on our children. Most importantly, it offers simple but effective steps that parents can take to minimize the impact of stress at home and at school. These include tools from the author s "Restorative Parenting Toolbox," empowering parents with the necessary skills to:

resolve behavior issues

deal with temper tantrums

resolve sibling rivalries

handle bullying

cope with teenagers testing their independence

navigate the challenges posed by the virtual world, and

provide firm, effective guidance when problems arise."
