Parents today continue to struggle with the question of how much discipline is too much or too little. Creating a Functional Family in a Dysfunctional World proposes a new approach: "democratic" parenting -- in which kids have a say in the laws and penalties by which they are raised. Making children a part of the process of their discipline and instruction consistently produces responsible kids. Authors Kimberly and Bruce Money are living proof of the effectiveness of their methods. They provide examples of their approaches by drawing on incidents from their own lives as parents of six. Each chapter offers information about dealing with every kind of behavior problem, giving solid information to keep families functional, including:
-- why children misbehave;
-- behavior and birth order;
-- encouraging positive behavior;
-- effective communication;
-- creating consequences to create responsibility.
