Was introduced to this book a couple of weeks ago, and after thumbing through it briefly, I could clearly say this is a very good book on parenting to consider for your library collection.
My husband was all praises of this book after he's started reading it...almost after every page, he'll exclaim that it's an excellent book... *grin*
Here's some info on the book and the author of the book...take a look...
These books were written by Dr. Sal Severe for parents or anyone who works with children and families. The entertaining stories and practical ideas were gathered from the author's 26 years experience working as a school psychologist and teaching parenting classes to 40,000+ parents.
The examples put parents at ease and empower them with specific, positive strategies to replace their own behavior with patterns that produce more cooperative behavior in their children. It explains how to be consistent, manage anger, prevent arguments and power struggles and how to teach children to listen -- the first time! It is rich with sensible and useful activities for parent and teacher training, counseling and consultation.
