Publisher Description

Acclaimed as the essential guide for parents of children between the ages of three and six, this work is based on Dr. Severe's philosophy that children's behavior is often a reflection of their parents'. Each chapter teaches parents to adjust their own behavior to better handle a host of critical issues such as fussing at bedtime, tantrums, sibling rivalry, toilet training, setting limits, and more. The focus is not on what is wrong, but on what parents can do right.

"Made me more aware of how my own behavior affects that of my kids. I think I knew this but it helps to be reminded. Helped me focus on phrasing things positively ("use your words" instead of "stop whining" or "no hitting.")I also like the examples of exactly what to say in certain situations. I think the biggest take-home message for me was to use positive reinforcement more often and be consistent in noticing when the kids are playing well, sharing, listening, etc. and frequently praising them for that. How often have I heard it - "catch them being good" - but it takes practice to do it well and consistently."

Quotes

  • “The book is particularly helpful for first-time parents, who will find Severe’s step-by-step prescriptions—what to do when a toddler has a tantrum or how to handle time-outs—invaluable.”
