Have you become one of 'those' parents who just can't seem to keep your cool? You know - that parent you swore you'd never be. Completely over backchat, sibling rivalry, kids not listening and an endless list of frustrating childhood moments, thousands of parents shamefully resort to the habit of yelling at their children to get results. Soon after, comes parental guilt, the fear of 'messing up your child's life' and the feeling of being a lousy parent. However all of that need not happen anymore. Jackie Hall, Author of The Happy Mum Handbook and parenting life coach who specialises in teaching parents how to raise children stress-free, brings to you: The 28day scream-free parenting challenge. Based on the premise that it takes 21 days to break a habit and an extra seven days to reinforce the new habit (to be scream-free) this book will progressively teach you to understand the thinking behind your anger and frustrations, and learn how to adopt a different mindset when approaching the challenges of being a parent. "The 28 day scream-free challenge is definitely a challenge but it's been totally worth it for me. There are no failures or ridicule, only Jackie's awesome information and suggestions. A great tool for anyone whose goal is to become scream- free!" Katie - mum of 2, Penrith, NSW, Aus. www.parentalstress.com

"I don't know who I am anymore" is the catchcry of many parents struggling to adjust to life with children. What part of yourself do you feel you've lost? Why is it so important for you to be that person? And what do you think it means about you that you can't play that role anymore? Finding your lost identity and discovering your personal peace will answer all these questions and more because this is not 'just another book' promoting time out as the answer to lost identity. Your brain loves to identify with the past. Past life experiences have taught you to attach your identity to a picture of how life is supposed to look in order for your life to be valuable. Feeling lost is just your mind's way of saying it has lost its ability to play out roles you have come to believe define your worth. Finding your lost identity and discovering your personal peace will take you on a journey into the inner workings of your mind to discover the root cause of why you are feeling so lost. You will learn how to readjust your mind to the present reality of this new phase of life, let go of the past and adopt an accurate understanding of self-worth, self-esteem, self-confidence, self-respect and a whole new personal identity to live from. If you feel lost and don't know who you are anymore, that's fantastic! Because this book is not going to help you to find your identity again. It's going to help you to completely redesign it and discover your personal peace.

The processes are very easy to follow too. I have done other 'self-help' stuff which has been great but is more time consuming so it is nice just to have something to refer to quickly and to have a greater awareness of why I get frustrated with some situations. My husband also found the book useful - he really is a super husband and very helpful at home and with the babies so he could relate to it too!"e; The Happy Mum Handbook is easy to understand (no psychological babble), is supported by scientifically proven methods for change, is time friendly (you don't even have to read the whole book to get help) and is written from the perspective of a mum who knows exactly what it feels like to have depression and anxiety during motherhood, but more importantly, how to overcome them. You will not find another parenting book quite like this that will inspire you and give you the knowledge you need to be the happy woman you want to be as well as the role model you intended on being for your children.
