Publisher's Synopsis
When I was growing up and learning how to behave, it was completely acceptable for corporal punishment when I did something 'bad.' A good spanking, restriction to the house, banishment to my bedroom or being grounded from sports and social activities. Nowadays, there's a fine line between physical punishment and abuse. We have to use more creative discipline. Timeouts, no cell phone or computer use, and still some amount of restriction. Or a just good 'talking-to.' So what's a parent to do? How do you correct your child's negative behavior or just teach them about rules to live by in today's world? It's Not Alright - for Children will help with some of those discipline issues. It gives you a tool to sit and talk to your child about what's appropriate and what's not appropriate. It is a basic training manual for life, if you will. Not every anecdote will fit your child's behavior or your sense of what's right and wrong. But there are 54 little behavioral snippets that most children will experience at some time. So come on in and have fun. Use the book as one creative source of raising your child and opening conversation. If it works for you and you have teens, the second in a series is called It's Not Alright - For Teens - an Intermediate Guide To Acceptable Behavior. And if you have a significant other, It's Not Alright For Adults - An Advanced Guide To Acceptable Behavior.
