Change Your Child's Behavior by Changing Yours: 13 New Tricks to Get Kids to Cooperate Paperback - 1996 - 1st Edition
by Barbara Chernofsky; Diane Gage
The authors tackle a variety of particularly difficult situations that prompt most tug-of-wills between children and parents. Authoritative and sound, but lighthearted and guilt free, the strategies offered for coping with and changing a bad situation for the better will also help improve a child's self-esteem. Illustrations.
From the rear cover
A new approach for dealing with the most common--and seemingly intractable--battles of will between parents and children. Authoritative and sound, but lighthearted and guilt-free, all of the authors' suggestions work toward building a child's self-esteem.
Two simple but powerful ideas stand behind this book's advice for coping with children's behavior problems: you can change your child's behavior by changing the way you react to theirs; and you must accept that much of what unnerves parents is actually appropriate to the various stages of a child's development. Change Your Child's Behavior by Changing Yours tackles thirteen particularly difficult situations that prompt most tugs-of-wills, including conflicts involving bedtime, dressing, eating, going places, shopping, and sibling rivalry. Each chapter opens with a section called "Sound Familiar?" that describes a scenario parents will quickly recognize. Authors Chernofsky and Gage then identify the development stage that is prompting the distressing behavior, help parents to relate the child's behavior in a somewhat parallel situation, and offer strategies for coping with and changing the situation for the better.
