Synopsis

The authors ease the self-doubts and confusion of parenthood, while answering the tough questions parents grapple with every day, including:

· Is social media safe for my son?

· How can I discipline my daughter so it actually makes a difference?

· Can I change my child's attitude about school? (He hates it!)

· Why should I praise my daughter for doing what she's expected to do?

This award-winning book, in an updated fourth edition, offers expanded chapters on a range of parenting strategies, including setting reasonable expectations, creating predictable family routines, teaching social skills and helping children develop healthy relationships. Parents, also, learn how to create and use a parenting plan that combines all of the parenting skills explained in the book.
