Parenting that Works: Building Skills
that Last a Lifetime
(Paperback)
by Edward R. Christophersen, Susan L. Mortweet
Mel Levine, author of A Mind at a Time
"Parenting That Works is a book that works! It is teeming with workable
advice that will help parents everywhere."
Book Description
Being a parent is probably the most important and the most difficult job
many of us will ever have. Of course, there’s a lot more to it than
simply raising a child who obeys and gets good grades. In this
comprehensive guidebook, clinical psychologist Dr. Edward Christophersen
and child psychologist Dr. Susan Mortweet provide parents with effective
ways to raise a child to become a happy, compassionate, and confident
adult.
Drawing on nearly forty years of combined professional experience, the authors explain that from babyhood through the school years, children learn by observing and interacting with their parents. In these clearly written, easy-to-follow chapters, Dr. Christophersen and Dr. Mortweet offer practical advice, explain proven strategies, and identify the fundamental skills parents need to encourage positive behavior without the need for punishment.

Key Phrases: orderly home routines, independent play skills, job grounding, Kansas City, Commonsense Guide, Westport Publishers (more...)
Book
Description
Little People is a positive book meant to help parents get the
most out of the years they spend with the little people they bring into
the world and help them to grow up happy and healthy. The entire book is
built around guidelines that will help you encourage your child's
emotional development and self-esteem. Dr. Christophersen emphasizes
"time-in," a procedure which, by it's very nature, is far more important
than any form of discipline.
From the Publisher
Now in it's Fourth Edition (and 10th Printing), Little People has
been a very popular book on parenting. Written by a well known clinical
psychologist, Little People is often recommended by pediatricians
and family physicians. The Written Handouts of Dr. Christophersen's
recommendations, that are printed in the last Section of the book such
that they can be photocopied or removed from the book, have been a very
popular feature of all of his books.
