Publisher's Synopsis
Dr Ben-Ari has written a wonderful clear, concise and easy-to-read guide to parenting for busy modern parents. It makes a difference to family life in a positive and productive way. It's full of practical tips to dip into (just one a day will do!) and suggestions for games and slight changes in communication, designed to bring calm to family-life and home-life in general. There is simple guidance how to deal with power-struggles with children, to turn conflict into connection, and to achieve playful cooperation between adult and child. It covers issues like setting limits, sibling rivalry, and parental baggage, and it encourages independence. Everything is based on robust theory, but readers are not burdened with masses of theoretical detail to read through. Ben-Ari's approach is down-to-earth and her advice is realistic and applies to everyday situations. She draws from her extensive experience in research and lecturing and years of practice as a parenting "guru". Harville Hendrix PhD and Helen LaKelly Hunt PhD, authors of the best-selling book "Giving the Love That Heals", say Small Steps "will help any parent who takes the first step to ... the status of 'master' parent, and will save another child from suffering from parental 'ignorance'. We recommend this book to all parents - whether new to the task, or experienced, or currently contemplating parenthood".We encourage you to read the positive feedback from customer reviews below.
