This book is a collection of ideas that I have learned from parents-parents who were fatigued and confused, parents drained by yelling, parents who felt imprisoned by their children, parents who walked through life on a treadmill, parents whose hearts were empty, parents who sometimes felt like giving up. Parents who discovered a better way. All the examples in this book are true stories from actual parents with real problems. The ideas in this book are simple and practical. There are a number of theories about parent and child behavior.
Most authors accept one theory.
They try to convince you that their ideas work for every parent and every child. After trying this approach, I decided it was insufficient. Use the best from every theory. This book provides hundreds of ideas. Not all of them will work all the time.
