Summary

When it comes to helping children learn to control their impulses, todays parents are pulling their own hair out: time-outs dont work and gimmicky techniques dont instill the values parents want their children to have. DRAWING THE LINE introduces a unique 10-step program that shows parents how to create and engineer conflict, in order to help break inappropriate habits and learn more productive ways of behaving. Dr. Weiss and Dr. Wagners approach shows parents how to establish goals for their family and children identify and isolate problem behaviors develop proactive plans before conflicts arise understand how to engineer conflict in order to create change and find suitable, effective reward and penalty systems that really work. An alternative to overly-permissive and too-strict parenting styles, this book includes quizzes, checklists, worksheets, and information sidebars, as well as stories and anecdotes that illuminate, encourage, and inspire!
