Current childrearing techniques seek to develop children who are confident, self-assured and unafraid to speak their minds—lions instead of lambs. Although largely positive, this shift has brought with it some very serious problems in the area of behavior disorders. Without going back to an authoritarian model, Joe Newman has developed new ways of helping children develop the ability to self-regulate without undermining their confidence and individuality.
Raising Lions challenges us to re-examine our interactions and relationships with children, re-think the root causes of behavior problems and find new ways to support healthy, happy development.
Over the past 20 years Joe Newman has worked with children, parents, teachers and therapists to help children overcome behavior problems. Based on Joe’s experience and the behavior protocols he developed, Raising Lions is an invaluable resource for any parent.
For people considering, or already using, medication to correct their child’s behavior problems, for parents with young children who want to avoid future problems, and for teachers who deal with growing numbers of willful and disruptive students, Raising Lions will prove to be indispensible.
About the author:
Forty years ago Joe Newman, M.A.O.M., was the “behavior problem” child. When his mother would bring him to the playground the other mothers would gather their children and leave. Defiant, difficult to control, physically aggressive and unable to sit still, in 1970 he was diagnosed as A.D.H.D. and put on Ritalin.
Today he trains parents, teachers and behavior specialists in the powerful methods he’s developed to heal behavior problem children. He lives in Santa Monica, California with his wife Julie and his stepdaughter Joan.

“I sincerely believe that crossing paths with Joe Newman saved my daughter and my family as a whole.” - Stacy Lewis, mother
“I’ve found Joe Newman’s methods to be an ideal solution to behavior management in the classroom.” - Ryan Turner, teacher
