About this audiobook
Your child cannot wait for the snack, tunes out your third request, and goes from fine to furious in a blink. Explaining harder has not worked. Practising has a better chance, and children practise best through play. Self-Control Games for Kids gives you about 40 short games, each one built for a ten-minute window, organised around the four moments that wear parents down: waiting, listening, anger and calming down. Every game lists the materials, the steps, the words to say and an easier and a harder version. It is not a book about managing your own temper, a discipline or reward-chart system, a script collection for strong-willed preschoolers, or a kindergarten checklist. It is a practical set of games for children roughly ages 4 to 10, to play together before the hard moment arrives. Inside, you'll learn: Pick one game tonight, play it for ten minutes, and keep going at your child's pace. Persistent or severe behaviour deserves a conversation with your pediatrician, and the book shows you how to tell.
