Psychotherapist Ben Furman comes from the principle that children do not have problems, but there are skills that they have not yet acquired. The task of parents is to help them in this. The author offers a simple program of 15 steps that can be used in any family, at school and in kindergarten.
The approach developed by the Finnish psychotherapist Ben Furman allows you to relatively quickly cope even with such difficulties as fears, bad habits, sleep disorders, tantrums, aggression, enuresis. Furman’s main idea is that children do not have problems, they only have skills that they have not yet acquired! To help a child master the missing skill, one must first formulate it positively: instead of “stop wetting the bed” — “learn to wake up and get up to use the toilet or endure until the morning”, instead of “stop fiddling with food” — “eat right”, instead of «don’t play the fool while dressing» — «get dressed quickly.» Furman offers an exceptionally clear and simple 15-step program that can be used in any family, school or kindergarten.
