Description

"This down-to-earth guide combines accepted child rearing techniques and theory with contemporary approaches in caring for children. Author Jim Harris promotes positive childhood development and offers support for the adult caregiver, whether parent, foster parent, or residential facility staff. He emphasizes messages of primary importance, including: adults must consistently model the behaviors they desire from their children; and adults need to intervene in their children's uncritical acceptance of negative media messages ... covers common areas of concern and conflict with uncommon sense, including such issues as avoiding bedtime battles, curtailing aggression in children, discussing drugs and alcohol with youth, alleviating school-related anxiety, and protecting children on the internet."--Back cover.
