Book Description
A practical, hands-on book that will give parents immediate ideas for responding effectively to 41 challenging situations, such as bedtime, fears, homework, lying, and temper tantrums.
From the Back Cover
Busy parents of young children don’t always have time to sit back and read a whole book on parenting. But that doesn’t mean they don’t need immediate help when Julie refuses to stay in bed and Dad’s nerves are about to frazzle. The Parent Survival Guide is a handy, easy-to-use resource with quick, time-tested advice on the 41 most common problems in children ages 3 to 12. The problems, arranged into three categories--home, classroom, and peers--include:
*Getting kids to bed on time
*Handling misbehavior in the grocery store
*Getting kids to do their homework
*Dealing with lying and temper tantrums
*Handling disruptive classroom behavior
*Teaching your child to deal with peer pressure
*Getting kids to bed on time
*Handling misbehavior in the grocery store
*Getting kids to do their homework
*Dealing with lying and temper tantrums
*Handling disruptive classroom behavior
*Teaching your child to deal with peer pressure
Each problem begins with a short case study, helping parents relate to the scenario and understand the factors that contribute to the problem behavior. Then the author presents a variety of helpful ideas that can be used to prevent the problem and/or respond to the situation quickly and effectively. Finally, as a way of enabling parents to visualize how the ideas can be put to work, the original scenario is revisited with several ideas put into practice.
Experienced child psychologist Cartmell helps parents arrive at reasonable expectations for children’s behavior, allows them to move beyond the confusion and frustration caused by their kids, and gives them simple "hands-on" solutions to help them effectively respond to common childhood problems.
