How to Behave So Your Children Will, Too! has been honored and recommended by the Parents' Choice Foundation, the Parent Council Ltd., and the National Parenting Center
Dr. Sal Severe maintains that "children learn what they live -- your children do as you do." Based on Dr. Severe's combined thirty years' experience as a school psychologist and parenting workshop leader, How to Behave So your Children Will, Too! shows why a child's behavior is often a reflection of the, parents' behavior, and how, by making changes themselves, parents can achieve, dramatic results in their children.
Instead of focusing on what children do wrong, this book teaches You what You can (to right, by emphasizing the positive, by being consistent, and by being more patient, recognizing that children often operate on a different time schedule. It teaches you how to teach your children to behave, to listen -- the first time -- and to be more cooperative. It shows you how to manage your anger and how to prevent arguments and power struggles.
Dr. Severe provides concrete strategies for dealing with common problems: solving homework hassles, ending tantrums, avoiding the temptation to give in to your child when you're exhausted, creating reasonable rules for every age, and making sure to take time for children even when you and your spouse are working full time. These methods are well tested and are inspired by stories and ideas that Dr. Severe has gleaned from parents in his workshops over many years.
