Parenting that Works: Building Skills that Last a Lifetime
by Edward R. Christophersen, Susan L.
Mortweet
Editorial Reviews
Mel Levine, author of A Mind at a Time
�Parenting That Works is a book that works! It is teeming with workable
advice that will help parents everywhere.�
Book Description
Being a parent is probably the most important and the most difficult job
many of us will ever have. Of course, there�s a lot more to it than simply
raising a child who obeys and gets good grades. In this comprehensive guidebook,
clinical psychologist Dr. Edward Christophersen and child psychologist Dr. Susan
Mortweet provide parents with effective ways to raise a child to become a happy,
compassionate, and confident adult.
Drawing on nearly forty years of combined professional experience, the authors
explain that from babyhood through the school years, children learn by observing
and interacting with their parents. In these clearly written, easy-to-follow
chapters, Dr. Christophersen and Dr. Mortweet offer practical advice, explain
proven strategies, and identify the fundamental skills parents need to encourage
positive behavior without the need for punishment.
