Book Overview
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.

Change Your Child's Behavior by Changing Yours: 13 New Tricks to Get Kids to Cooperate
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I borrowed this book from the library, along with a few other 'parenting' books. I liked this one so much that I wanted to add it to my collection for future reference.
GOD, SANTA, THE EASTER BUNNY, AND NOW THIS!

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I had run out of ways to deceive my children. For years I have nervously lied to them about Santa, The Tooth Fairy, The Easter Bunny, Pat Sajak, Hope, God, their father, and other mythical creatures. This tome opened my eyes to other fun little tricks I can play on my kids. I am thankful that this book came out; otherwise, I would have to begin educating them to the harsh truths of the New Millenium. Through the book's Scientological slant, I learned ways to kill their curiosity outright (!). This will make a great Christmas present for you and your children. Tell them SANTA gave it to you...
