When She’s Too Angry to Speak
By Noël Janis-Norton

When anger floods in, it drowns out reason. Your child can’t articulate his feelings, and so she yells or slams. Reacting in kind never works; reflective listening does. Here’s how to use it...

With kid gloves
By Helen O'Callaghan

WHETHER it’s your child’s play date persistently snatching the best toys, or a loudmouth kid on the bus shouting swear words, is it ever OK to discipline other people’s children? "It depends on what we mean by ‘discipline’," says Noel Janis-Norton, founder of the London-based Calmer, Easier, Happier Parenting Centre. "Do we mean telling them off? Or do we mean teaching them?...

Unpopular children: Why don't they like me?

By Tanith Carey

A new theory claims that being an unpopular child is a learning difficulty, just like dyslexia – and the good news is that it can be treated
At the age of nine, Victoria is the type of child who the other girls in her class describe as "a bit weird". There's something about her body language – and the way she "hovers" at the edge of their games, but doesn't join in – which makes them uncomfortable. .....

Daily Mirror Spoilt brat?
It's NOT too late to change

By Tanith Carey

WORK OUT WHY YOU'RE SPOILING THEM
As much as we hate to admit it, the reason our children are spoilt is because we give them so much without setting any limits. So first, work out why you feel the need to over-indulge them. Is it because you work long hours and feel guilty? Are you afraid your child won't love you if you say no? Or are you so busy trying to make your children's life perfect, you forgot to set restrictions? Or maybe you want them to have more than you did as a kid? It's only once you've worked out your own reasons that you're ready to change your child's behaviour. .....

School DazeThe real Supernanny
Behavior specialist Noel Janis-Norton offers her nipper know-how on the eve of another school year...

Noel Janis-Norton knows about backto- school days— she’s been guiding kids through them since finishing teacher training at New York University in the early 1970s. Throughout her career in education, and in raising two children of her own, Noel became a close study of some of New York’s more successful school teachers, and came to the conclusion that there wasn’t so much an “intrinsic quality” in a teacher that made kids behave — rather, there were certain techniques that any adult could use that lead to calmer, happier children. And parents.....

Mum's on a learning curve
Yearning for peace and quiet at home?
Ever considered signing up for a parenting course?

"Why would you go on a parenting course?" my friends chorused when I told them I was signing up for a three-month stint. "Aren’t they just for people who are about to have their kids taken into care?" Not any more. Parenting courses are a boom industry. Across the country on any weekday night you will find groups of professional, middle-class parents taking notes in the hope of discovering the keys to everlasting family happiness.

Why parents are flocking back to school
Can you really learn to be a better mother?

Mention Parenting Courses around a dinner table and you'l elicit a fairly dismissive response.

"Why would you go on a parenting course?" asked one friend. "Surely it's all common sense?" "Aren't they just for people who aren't coping?" queries another. Not any more...

Do parenting classes really work? and can you graduate with honours?

Two months ago, I embarked on a weekly parenting course. It's not something I ever imagined I'd do - I hate group things and the thought of spending mye evenings looking at flip charts rather than collapsing on the sofa with a glass of wine seemed incongruous to me. But I was curious...

Nanny helps parents take charge
Two hard-to-control Tustin children give Noël Janis-Norton their best, but she knows sweet talk is irresistible.

TUSTIN - It starts so calmly, as a tornado must start.

Barely a ripple of wind as she enters the house.

"Hello, Zachary," she says to the curly-haired 6-year-old.

Zachary clutches his father.

"Hello, Zachary," she says again. "It would be very nice if you could look at me and say, 'Hello, Noël.'"

Zachary's father, Steve, begins to intervene, but Noël signals for him to stop. A few feet away, Zachary's mother, Susan, stays silent. Across the room, Zachary's twin, Jason, gleefully watches his brother under pressure.

Experts say carrot is better than the stick

Most child experts are anti-smackers but they hold widely differing views on the best way to instil discipline in children. Some advise parents to respond to bad behaviour by reasoning with their children; others suggest parents should pretend to ignore their children while they are playing up or deprive them of things they enjoy. All agree that it must be combined with giving youngsters copious praise and sometimes rewards when they do behave well.

Sibling Squabbles (15th June 2002)
It doesn't surprise me that one of the main reasons why parents flock to parenting classes is to deal with sibling rivalry. Among my own children, there are some deep and upsetting rifts, usually between an elder child and the one immediately below in the birth order.

The Messy Playroom (5th October 2002)

The mess in our playroom is so depressing that most of the time, I shut the door and sigh. Then, suddenly, I snap. Last week's trigger was the arrival of a new piano teacher. He picked his way to the piano over old crisp packets, headless dolls and bits of jigsaw, while I did my aren't-children-awful act, then, with the cheeriest smile, he announced that the room amounted to a "health hazard".
