The Parent's Problem Solver: Practical Solutions to Over 140 Common Behaviour Problems by Karen Renshaw Joslin
What do you do if your child refuses to wear a seatbelt? How do you handle it if your child is a biter, or refuses to share? "The Parent's Problem Solver" features easy-to-use solutions for over 140 common child-behaviour problems, all in alphabetical order for easy reference. A parent can look up a specific problem, and discover what to say and do to prevent it from happening again. Recognizing that behaviour acceptable in a two-year-old may not be acceptable in a five-year-old, the book also offers age appropriate advice where necessary, and ideas older brothers and sisters, as well as parents, can put into practice. Throughout, Joslin uses her "Positive Parenting" technique of reinforcing good behaviour rather than criticizing negative conduct, thereby building children's self-esteem.
