1. How to Behave So Your Children Will, Too!
Severe, Sal, Ph.D

Greentree Publishing , 1997. 4th printing Near Fine to Fine UNREAD book in Near Fine Dust Jacket Cover negligible wear Pages clean bright tight Dust Jacket bright, very minor shelf wear <br></br> Product Description: <br> How to Behave So Your Children Will, Too! has been honored and recommended by the Parents' Choice Foundation, the Parent Council Ltd., and the National Parenting Center <br></br> Dr. Sal Severe maintains that "children learn what they live -- your children do as you do." Based on Dr. Severe's combined thirty years' experience as a school psychologist and parenting workshop leader, How to Behave So your Children Will, Too! shows why a child's behavior is often a reflection of the, parents' behavior, and how, by making changes themselves, parents can achieve, dramatic results in their children. <br></br> Instead of focusing on what children do wrong, this book teaches You what You can (to right, by emphasizing the positive, by being consistent, and by being more patient, recognizing that children often operate on a different time schedule. It teaches you how to teach your children to behave, to listen -- the first time -- and to be more cooperative. It shows you how to manage your anger and how to prevent arguments and power struggles. <br></br> Dr. Severe provides concrete strategies for dealing with common problems: solving homework hassles, ending tantrums, avoiding the temptation to give in to your child when you're exhausted, creating reasonable rules for every age, and making sure to take time for children even when you and your spouse are working full time. These methods are well tested and are inspired by stories and ideas that Dr. Severe has gleaned from parents in his workshops over many years. . First Edition, Later Printing. Hard Cover. Fine/Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

2. 8 Weeks to a Well-Behaved Child: A Failsafe Program for Toddlers Through Teens
Windell, James

New York: MacMillan Publishing Company, 1994. VG+ to Near Fine 3rd printing Cover bright, very minor wear, blk spot bottom edge Pages appear all clean bright tight, bottom page edge blk remainder mark, side edge sm spot Dust Jacket bright, minor shelfwear, scuffs, bl mark across ISBN, some indents rubs <br></br> From Publishers Weekly: If the title might seem to ask for a skeptical rejoinder, then don't judge too hastily. Windell ( Discipline: A Sourcebook of 50 Failsafe Techniques for Parents ), who has taught "parent-training" classes for a quarter century, here rejects some of the usual means of disciplining children--e.g., inducing fear as a primary motive--while affirming other techniques and making new and rational suggestions. Throughout, he emphasizes the importance of consistency as a tool for ushering change into a child's bad behavioral habits. Scheduling his strategies into a week-by-week series of courses, the author urges sufficient "loving" but insists "love is not enough"; to augment that, he recommends respect, "setting strict and firm limits," enforcing these, and yet also "allowing for dissent and expression" of children's emotions as adults move with them through a developmental process. Windell provides homework assignments at the close of chapters that ask parents to come to grips with the particulars of their situation in an objective fashion. And he certainly does not rule out punishment, but notes that it should be well-considered. His stories of fractious children (and dialogue) are likely to ease a reader's way. But as always, the proof is in the doing. Copyright 1993 Reed Business Information, Inc. . Later Printing. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
