Description: No one ever said that parenting was easy -- least of all parents! But Ericka Lutz is one parent who knows how to discipline with clarity, firmness and, most of all, love. Here, she shares her no-nonsense strategies for every aspect of child-raising, from the toddler years into adolescence. Needy parents learn how to: handle tough discipline problems like lying and talking back; serve as good role models and authority figures; talk and listen to their children; respond appropriately when things get out of control; work with their spouses to form a disciplining duo; instill values without preaching; and work with teachers, guidance counselors, therapists, and other professionals in their child's development. Complete with parenting do's and don't's and true-life stories from the front lines of child-rearing, the book shows how to spare the rod and teach kids right from wrong in ways that are firm, fair, and loving.
