Summary

Effective strategies for everyday parenting challenges, based on the latest research, from the director of the world-renowned Yale Parenting Center The Kazdin Method for Parenting the Defiant Childwas called "THE place to look for evidence-based advice about how to become an exemplary parent."* Now, in The Everyday Parenting Toolkit,Dr. Kazdin focuses on highly effective responses to the more routine behaviors of children that are challenges to most parents much of the time. Other parenting booksincluding best-selling onesfrequently depend on idiosyncratic and often dead wrong ideas about effective parenting. Dr. Kazdin delivers the most sound and useful parenting research from recent years, transforming it into easy, everyday strategies. No parenting book does a better job helping parents break down and then fix behaviorsone clear, realistic step at a timefrom getting ready for school on time, to eating more than one or two foods, to limiting computer and video game time. Even to developing interests and qualities like respect for others, honesty, and good friendships. Potentially family-transforming parenting know-how from our "most important living child developmental psychologist." * (Martin Seligman)
