Small Steps to Great Parenting: An Essential Guide for Busy Families

This clear, concise and easy to read book is a wonderful guide for busy parents to enable them to parent in a positive and productive way. It provides many suggestions of games and simple tweaks in communication designed to turn conflict into connection, and stressful triggers into playful cooperation between parent and child. Unlike long theoretical books, it is full of practical tips to dip into and apply every day, to help bring CALM to your family and home-life, eliminate power-struggles with your children, and encourage independence. It includes tips on setting limits, sibling rivalry, and dealing with your own parental baggage. Dr Kalanit Ben-Ari's down-to-earth approach offers realistic, tried and tested advice. The everyday scenarios she provides are drawn from her extensive experience in research, lecturing and years of practice as a parenting "guru". Review from Harville Hendrix PhD and Helen LaKelly Hunt PhD, authors of the best-selling book "Giving the Love That Heals" "Small Steps To Great Parenting will help any parent who takes the first step to follow through to the status of 'master' parent. And will save another child from suffering from parental ignorance. "This small book is full of cutting-edge information about what to do, and instructive examples showing how to do it. "We recommend this book to all parents, whether new to the task or experienced, or currently contemplating parenthood - and to anyone who wants to learn to navigate their family relationships better.”
