There Are Over 100 Strategies!
The Tantrum Tamer helps parents stay calm during a child’s explosion. You can’t put a lid on lava, so while a child is having a tantrum, to avoid being drawn into the upset and inciting your own negative reaction, several effective strategies are offered to help parents stay calm and centered. Parents will also learn ideas like including your kids in storytelling when you’re at the milk cooler to help keep them positively engaged and less likely to tantrum!
Keeping kids sweet(er) in the teenage years! If kids go off the rails, the strategies will help parents more calmly keep on the rails!
Dissolving Anger is essential for a happy life—anger is addictive, poisons our bodies, and fractures relationships. Those are good reasons to give it up.
Blessing Mistakes teaches parents how to give themselves and others grace, not grief when a mistake is made. Use it when you make a parenting mistake—say and feel the truth of this statement: “I matter more than the mistake.” And then make the mistake right by apologizing or whatever is appropriate. When someone else in the house makes a mistake parents can use this strategy to dissolve the stress around mistake-making. Say and feel the truth of this statement as you say it to the person who made the mistake, “You matter more than your mistake.” Then teach them to make it right. Read the book Blessing Mistakes to become an expert at reducing stress that involves mistakes or negative states!
To stop kids when they are fighting, use I am That, The Blessing Boomerang and/or The Turnaround. The negativity and stress dissolves quickly and return them to their peaceful nature!
Attitude or Gratitude teaches us that we want to feel as good when we’re done something fun as we did when we started the activity, and is useful for ending screen time, leaving a birthday party or the playground, etc.
Won’t Do Must-Do’s is helpful when kids won’t co-operate, help with chores, get their boots on so you can all get out the door on time, do homework, and more.
Once you experience relief from using the positive parenting strategies, you can teach them to your kids (7 years & older). If your children are younger than 7, you can use the strategies on yourself to keep calm when the little ones aren’t! Parents give their kids a rare gift when they teach them these strategies because they’ll be able to stay in—or come back to their naturally inclusive, non-judgmental, insightful nature when challenges arise.
The Kid Code Teachers offer further support through live and recorded online classes.
It’s a peaceful parenting movement that you can experience in your own home.

The Wisdom in the Book
Praise for Brenda Miller
"She effectively communicates this in a series of “30 Second Parenting Strategies,” which apply compassion-based techniques to real-world scenarios, such as coping with tantrums, picky eaters, teenage rebelliousness, and excessive screen time. Although Miller tackles a variety of topics, readers may find that the most crucial aspect of the book is her focus on challenging and reversing negative beliefs, which, she says, limit adults’ and children’s potential. To that end, she aptly and logically points out that such beliefs are often internalized perspectives of others and don’t necessarily convey the truth of a given situation. This knowledge may well empower readers to break free from detrimental cycles, such as harmful perfectionism, while building constructive communication habits. A helpful and practical book about nurturing helpful beliefs in one’s children and oneself."
RECOMMENDED by KIRKUS
"My kid turned out just like me. Well played karma. Well played.'
Miller selects principles from renowned classic and contemporary masters. She then packages them as short, digestible parenting contemplations. Masters from a wide variety of disciplines, including philosophy, biology, and psychology, are represented. These include writers such as Eckhart Tolle, Sadhguru, Wayne Dryer, and Dr. Shefali Tsabary. The exercises are formatted with a title and a quote or key point. The author then elaborates with humor and grace."
Gretchen Hansen
"I love your book. Your book is phenomenal. Your work is phenomenal. This is a book that has so many useful techniques, strategies, understandings, principles, it should be given to every mother before they walk out of a hospital. People need what you have. Kids are suffering. Parents are suffering. There is no owner’s manual. This is kind of an owners-manual from God. It’s beautiful. This is one of the best parenting books I’ve ever read. Get this out there."
Jack Canfield, Bestselling Author
Chicken Soup for the Soul Series
"The super-simple and quick strategies in The Kid Code took the anger out of parenting for me. My whole parenting life changed. When I brought out the 'undertaker voice', sent them to their room, or just hollered at them, I wondered if I was ruining them. This back-up support gives me time to think "Can I do this another way?".
Chris Veltheim, BBus (I)
"Over the years Brenda’s compassion and wisdom have guided me through tough emotions and confusion - to calmness and clarity. This work has helped me feel less pain and more relief in my body. My daughter is grateful that I use these parenting strategies. They have provided a foundation that brings an ease to our communication and our relationship."
Louise Sevigny
"These techniques have already helped me to parent in a way that feels like I'm helping my children grow, and not dictating to them or endlessly arguing. The Kid Code offered me almost exactly what I was searching for. It provided me with a different outlook; ways that felt so much more effective & natural to me."
Janna Glasman, CBP, BAT, PCP
"Kid Code was a very eye-opening parenting experience. The tools are very useful and bring all kinds of awareness. This course will leave you feeling much more connected to your children, as well as forgiving, understanding, and easier on yourself as a parent."
Kristen Pierce, MindScape Instructor, AdvCBP.
"Brenda's KID CODE is an incredible book, for assisting parents and children alike to experience challenges in an awakened, conscious state. Her compassion and non-judgmental personality and coaching style makes KID CODE a nurturing, rewarding, and impactful course!"

About Brenda Miller
Brenda taught conscious conflict resolution in six countries and is now immersed, every day, in helping others find relief from upsets so they can feel less stress and more joy. Her observation that children teach us what they want us to teach them made kids into her teachers. Because of that, she set out to reclaim her playfulness, belly-laugh and all the other attributes a child shows us that come naturally to a human being.
She's passionately studied the work of Byron Katie, Eckhart Tolle, Guy Finley, Mooji, Sadhguru, and many others. She says that their wisdom, when used on a daily basis becomes our own proof that joy is our natural state.
She's married with three kids who gave them six granddaughters, which means that family get-togethers are loud and entertaining! While she has an Associate Degree in Holistic Nutrition and Diplomas in Business and Writing, her heart is set on helping others (very quickly) find their own inner wisdom, beautiful nature, and....belly-laugh!

The strategies in The Kid Code took the anger out of parenting for me. They’re super simple, and quick. I’m not saying this lightly - my whole parenting life changed. I now have this back-up support (The Kid Code) which gives me time in the moment to think – “Can I do this another way?” I find I catch myself just as I’m ready to bring out the ‘undertaker voice’, count to 3, order them to get to their room, or just yell at them because that seemed to work – but I had to ask myself, “Am I ruining my kids?” I knew I needed another way to parent and I found it in what I call the ‘modern’ techniques Brenda shared with me.
