Publisher's Synopsis
Parents want to raise competent, functional human beings. They want to guide their children in their decision making so that they can eventually make great choices on their own. The challenge is that parents are not taught practical ways to do that and it's common to end up with an assortment of parenting questions and concerns such as: How do I get my child to go to bed on time? Why won't they eat what I provide to them? How can I get them to behave in public? Why won't they listen to me? What's with all the back-talk? Why don't they respect us as parents? Am I the only one who doesn't have this figured out? I want a meaningful relationship with my kids. Why isn't it happening the way I thought it would?
