Parenting

Is there one best way to parent a child?

Your three-year-old begins to throw a tantrum when you stop her from pouring milk on the kitchen floor. Your teenager responds to you disrespectfully. Your eight-year-old is disruptive in his Primary class and the teacher comes to you for help. Your nine-year-old refuses to eat her broccoli because she doesn't like it. Your fourteen-year-old has been bullying and intimidating a nine-year-old brother when you are not at home and the frightened sibling comes to you in tears. Are there solutions to these dilemmas and answers for frustrated parents? What parent hasn't wished to find an owner's manual tucked into the crib of their newborn child?

Marsha Snow has created the owner's manual every parent has hoped for, combining professional techniques and research with gospel doctrines and principles to assist parents in effectively addressing puzzling parenting situations. Parenting: An Owner's Manual will help you:

• Know three ways to fill a child's emotional tank
• Know the difference between punishment and discipline
• Understand why punishment is detrimental to children
• Understand that there is no such thing as a family without rules
• Understand why relationships must come before teaching
• Realize that anger is a parent's worst enemy in raising children

Parenting: An Owner's Manual is the perfect guide for those who feel they lack parenting skills, but it is also perfect for those who feel they are doing pretty well but want to confirm that they are using the best parenting skills possible. Every parent needs to know how to practice the correct principles presented within its pages. More importantly, every child deserves to have parents who know how to practice these principles.
