Description
I'll Be the Parent, You Be the Kid offers the insights parents really need to handle today's controversial parenting challenges.
With the many parenting books available today, it's not surprising many parents are confused by the wide range of methods, styles and quick-fix solutions being suggested. In I'll Be the Parent, You Be the Kid Paul Kropp considers the most difficult issues in parenting using real-life scenarios and offers firm opinions based on the latest research. Drawing on his own experience as an educator and parent, his talks with hundreds of Canadian families and 40 years of reliable parenting research, Paul Kropp tackles such tough topics as:
discipline and spanking
sibling rivalry -- what's "normal"?
how much daycare is good daycare?
the impact of television on kids and families
the myth of quality time.
