Disciplining your child doesn’t have to make you feel like an army commando! Hey, Mom! Yes, you know who you are: You’re the one juggling the beeper, the defrosted chicken, the carpool schedule, and your kid’s soccer ball at the same time. You know the score when it comes to recognizing when your little angel is up to no good. But when it comes to laying down the law, you’re never sure how to choose a punishment that fits the crime. And with both hands full at home and pressures mounting at work, you don’t know how you’re going to find time to keep tabs on your child every minute of the day. Don’t give up hope yet! The Mom’s Guide to Disciplining Your Child is specially designed to help busy moms of kids age 8?14 take a more active role in shaping their kids’ behavior. Produced by Alpha Books, the team that publishes the highly successful Complete Idiot’s Guide series, Mom’s Guides are easy to use and written in a warm, conversational tone by moms who have been there and back with their own kids. In this Mom’s Guide you get:
- Solid information on being a reasonable (and even fun) authority figure.
- Helpful hints on working as a disciplining duo with your partner.
- Friendly advice on talking and listening to your child.
- No-nonsense guidance on solving tough discipline problems, such as lying and talking back.
- „Mom Knows Best” tips, „Mom Always Said” warnings, „Wise Words” definitions, and „All in the Family” anecdotes to coach you along the way.
