What if parenting is largely a form of hypnosis?
In this book, hypnosis expert and father of four Edwin Selij shows that parenting is, to a large extent, hypnosis.
It’s 7:30 in the morning. Four boys, one hallway, none of them wearing their coats. I yell. They don’t budge. And I was the one who knew everything about influence. You say, “Don’t run in the hallway!” And what do they do? They sprint away. You politely ask them to brush their teeth. Five minutes later, you’re facing a determined little negotiator. What if the struggle isn’t your fault? What if your child isn’t being defiant, but simply hears something completely different from what you mean? Young children often exist in an extremely impressionable state of learning.
They take everything in, but process language more literally than adults do. When you say what you don’t want, their brain often hears exactly what you do mention. In this book, hypnosis expert Edwin Selij shows you how to break that pattern. No endless discussions. No power games. No guilt.
Among other things, you’ll discover the Pink Elephant Button, the Choice Button, and the Command Button. Not to manipulate your child, but because you’ll finally understand how their brain works—and how yours works.
