Raising Kids with Adab, Not Fear

Raising Kids with Adab, Not Fear is a gentle guide to raising respectful, emotionally secure children, without shame, threats or fear. Drawing on more than twenty years of motherhood and years of working with children, youths and parents, educator and parenting coach Haryani Bakri shares real stories from the classroom, the coaching room and her own home. At the heart of the book is her M.A.M.A. framework (Mindfulness, Affection, Monitoring and Autonomy), a simple pathway to see our children clearly, connect with them deeply, guide them without controlling them, and gradually release them to become who they are meant to be. Each of the thirteen chapters closes with a Takeaway, a Pause & Reflect exercise and, where it helps, a practical Try This to put into action this week. Written for parents of tweens and teens who have ever wondered whether they are doing enough, it is a warm reminder that our children are not behind. They are becoming. Foreword by Dr Hanisnah Kasmuri.
