    About this ebook

    Because I love children, believe in children, and respect children, it is my hope that this parent guide will help you affect your childs life to allow him or her to grow and develop in a healthy, happy environment and to help you enjoy the journey.

    Children are gifts and need the unconditional love and support from parents prepared to face the challenges of parenthood.

    Parenthood is a club youve joined without knowing the dues or bylaws.

      ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

      I would be remiss if I did not mention the late Dr. Haim Ginott, child psychologist, whose teachings influenced me the most while raising my own three children.

      FOREWORD

      A TTITUDE IS EVERYTHING to quote my late father. None of us rise in the morning with the attitude: Today I will try to make my child feel guilty, stupid, incapable, worthless, unimportant, weak or unloved. HOWEVER, despite our best efforts, sometimes even before breakfast and before the children are on the school bus, we have succeeded in accomplishing at least one or perhaps all of the above. In the book, The Help by Kathryn Stockett, the nanny, Mae’s mantra was clear: You is kind. You is smart. You is important. Indeed she had the right idea of what message to convey to a child everyday.

      Misbehavior and punishment are not opposites that cancel each other - on the contrary- they breed and reinforce each other.

      Haim G. Ginott

      If you are asking yourself questions about your parenting techniques, and if you want to become the best parent you can be, then this guide is for you.

      No matter what the age of your child, from toddler to adolescent, a change in parenting style can make a difference in your child’s attitude, self esteem, behavior, and especially in his or her relationship with you. Changing your parenting style can also change how you feel as a parent.
