Anthony Wolf's groundbreaking book focuses on the most difficult challenges of parenting post-infant to pre-teen children-setting limits and making demands. Dr. Wolf covers all the class parenting problem areas: family disputes, including who's in charge (Mom or Dad), sibling fights, and divorce; day-to-day issues such as bedtime, grumpiness, and public tantrums; and problems that might not be problems after all, like aggression, lying, and spoiling. Positive, loving, and, above all, effective, this guide offers parents what they want most: more time to enjoy their children.
"Dr. Wolf presents a system of discipline and ways of dealing with complex parenting problems (complete with many useful anecdotes) that allow for consistency without demanding unrealistic rigidity of parents and children."
Bruce Raskin
"By far the best advice book for parents of young children that I have ever read."
Louise Bates Ames, associate director, Gesell Institute of Human Development
"Anthony Wolf addresses discipline and behavior problems, from the serious to the ridiculous, with a smart, sophisticated, and refreshing approach. His anecdotes ring so true that you are sure to hear your own voice"
