If you feel trapped between extremes when you're disciplining your children, you'll appreciate the time-tested advice in this classic guide. You don't have to spank your children to get them to behave--and you don't have to worry that you're spoiling them, either. Drawing from four major child guidance philosophies, parent educator Elizabeth Crary provides dozens of examples and exercises to help you find the best way to rear your children. "Without Spanking or Spoiling" will help you understand: - Why scolding and spanking can increase the very behavior you want to avoid;- Why praising children sometimes leads to problems;- How to get kids to substitute an acceptable behavior for something intolerable; and- How to determine effective consequences for unacceptable behavior. First published in 1979, Without Spanking or Spoiling has been described as "a treasure trove of ideas" by critics and parents across North America. With almost 300,000 copies sold, it's one of the best-regarded resources for parents struggling with discipline issues.
Why should parents make the effort to insist that children do chores? Of course there is the immediate value of getting help around the home, but far more important is the research that Elizabeth Crary cites, research that indicates the importance of doing chores in preparing children for responsible adulthood. In fact, this research shows that doing chores from a young age is more important in successful adulthood than IQ. In this easy-to-read guide, Crary explains what kids can realistically be expected to do at what ages, how to introduce chores and increase the level of responsibility as a child grows, and how to deal with children's resistance to helping.
