Here's a great guidebook for parents of children ages 6 to 16 facing a myriad of family challenges: A teen who's defiant; siblings who constantly bicker; a child having trouble in school, or parents and kids who occupy the same house but don't communicate or have fun together anymore. Common Sense Parenting provides parents with a menu of proven techniques that will aid them in building good family relationships, preventing and correcting misbehavior, using consequences to improve behavior, teaching self-control, and staying calm. As each new parenting technique is introduced, the authors explain each step, provide many clear examples, and give parents an action plan for implementing it in their home. The newly revised and updated book answers parents' commonly asked questions, offers new behavior charts and more helpful information and advice than ever.
