An excellent and very popular book with parents and family counselors. Sometimes some basic changes in how we speak to our children will bring about huge changes in behavior and create a more peaceful home environment.

Living
Joyfully With Children I highly recommend this book as necessary reading for all teachers and parents. The authors' shared insights into how to nourish our children's self-esteem, to honor their natural rhythms, avoid the pitfalls of power struggles and self-blame, and to practice good self-care for ourselves and our adult relationships all help answer the question: "How can we live more joyfully with our children?" I must add that, as a parent and as a teacher, I am very concerned with the increasing pressure put on children these days. The clear emphasis is on making them do more, do it earlier, and do it as perfectly as possible. All eyes are glued on standardized test scores and admissions to "the best schools". Yet so little attention is placed on the overall wellness of the child. However, as authors Bill and Win Sweet make clear, real success in life (i.e. the ability to flourish and cope successfully with adversity) depends on a healthy emotional core and on humane, sensible approaches to Life's many challenges -- both of which have little to do with pushing children to their breaking point. It is my hope that all who read this book will be inspired to make the choices that will create greater joy in their own lives and those of their children.
52 virtues (assertiveness, responsibility, etc.) to teach at home in this fun and simple program for parents. "Simple ways to bring out the best in our children and ourselves".
Teaches "S.T.E.P. -- Systematic Training For Effective Parenting". Excellent information about understanding children's behavior, your own behavior as a parent, how to develop confidence and personal potential, utilizing natural and logical consequences, and how to build parent/child communication and mutual respect.
P.E.T. -- Parent Effectiveness Training Written by Dr. Thomas Gordon This classic text, has informed, inspired, and rescued parents, teachers, and others for more than 25 years, both in its original written form and in the many workshops offered by instructors certified in its approach. The methods of empowering, respectful communication which it teaches are useful in adult-adult relations as well!
