BECOMING THE PARENT YOU WANT TO BE: A SOURCEBOOK OF STRATEGIES FOR THE FIRST FIVE YEARS
Author: Laura Davis and Janis Keyser (Contributor)
Publisher/Manufacturer: Broadway Books
As any new mom or dad soon learns, becoming the parent you want to be doesn't happen in a matter of weeks or months. Rather, it's more of an ever-evolving goal that requires putting in many hours of on-the-job training. The authors of this book -- who have backgrounds in child development and education -- say that you can work toward being your best by basing your parenting philosophy on nine principles. These include: learning how to balance your needs with your child's; why enthusiasm for parenting is so critical; and why you must learn to deal with anger. The book also offers practical tips for dealing with issues like sleep problems, behavior, and discipline. Their first-person stories -- which are both humorous and thought-provoking -- help to round out the content and make for an enjoyable read.
