motherofthree asked:
My daughter is turning 6 and I was wondering if there was a good book to help me with the attitudes and her changing behavior and how to handle her moods already!! Thanks.
good book
The STEP program (systematic training for effective parenting) was great for me. Yes, there’s a book. Worked very well. I know of another site called scream free living. But don’t have experience with that one.
The Five Love Languages of Children
by Gary D. Chapman, Ross Campbell
Try ScreamFREE parenting by Hal Edward Runkel… no it isn’t just about yelling at your kids. It is more about how to focus on yourself, so you can focus on what you are doing with your kids. Overall a great book!
I refuse to raise a brat. Mary Lou Henner and her kids doc.
There are a lot of good ones. “How to Talk So Kids Will Listen & Listen So Kids Will Talk” is an excellent one. “The Key to Your Childs Heart” is also very very good. James Dobson has written some good books on raising children too, “The Strong Willed Child” was pretty good.
Parenting is mostly on the job training. Unfortunately children don’t come with an instructional manual. If you have more than one child you will have realized what works with one child may not necessarily work with another.There are lots of books out there but do you have time to look up every issue? Most parenting is commonsense. Trust your gut instincts. The author of a book does not know your child better than you. Think back to your parents, did they check with the “experts” to parent you?Did anyone have a grandparent who would trust a book over their own expertice?Just try your best each day.
Parenting with Love and Logic
Raising Positive Kids in a Negative World

good book
You don’t need a book. What you need is a twelve foot bull whip. That’ll keep the little gaffers in line.
