The Incredible Years
A Trouble-Shooting Guide for Parents of Children Aged 2-8 Years.
This is what the back of the book says:
FULLY REVISED WITH NEW CHAPTERS
that focus on promoting your child's social and emotional competence and ways to help your child be successful in school.
"If parents are confident for inevitable and pitfalls, there will be room for flexibility, whimsy, and creativity."
"The evidence is now beyond dispute. If parents want their children to be successful socially and academically at school, the most important thing they can do is to collaborate with teachers and strive to maintain regular and effective communication."
All children misbehave for a variety of reasons, sometimes simply to test how far they can go to get the attention they crave. Other children are temperamentally more difficult to parent than others because they are impulsive, hyperactive, inattentive or delayed in some aspect of their development. This invaluable handbook provides parents with guidelines not only to help prevent behavior problems form occurring but also with strategies to promote children's social, emotional and academic competence.
NEW CHAPTERS
- How to help your child learn to regulate emotions, make friends and cope with peer problems;
- How to partner with your child's teacher to promote social and academic success;
- How to promote your child's school readiness through interactive reading and child-directed play coaching;
- How to teach social skills to a child who is fearful and shy as well as a child who is hyperactive, impulsive, and inattentive.
Dr. Webster-Stratton lives in Seattle with her husband John; her two children, Seth age 21 and Anna age 18, are in college.
