The Parent's Guide is a collection of the 102 most common behaviour problems encountered in and around the home, with specific strategies for each. This is one of the most comprehensive guides available for parents to improve parenting skills by providing positive interventions to remediate the behaviour problems of children and youth. The Parent's Guide is the perfect resource for parents of special needs children, foster parents, adoptive parents, or any parent who wishes to improve his or her skills in dealing with the demands of raising children today. As parents and parent surrogates use the Parent's Guide, their skills will improve as they apply the specific intervention strategies to behaviour problems they encounter. Behaviours are grouped into the following areas: Difficulty Following Directions and Rules, Irresponsible/Careless, Disrespectful, Social Difficulties, Dishonest, Selfish, Limited Self-Control, Defiant, Careless with Appearance and Possessions.
The format of the Parent's Guide is much more useful and convenient than other texts on the subject since the guide was developed to respond to the need to know what to do - NOW.
