"An upbeat, modern guide with classic roots." FOREWORD REVIEWS This extraordinary guidebook offers a satisfying new approach to raising confident, healthy, whole human beings, from toddler to teen. Groundbreaking in both its scope and methodology, ParentShift challenges some of our most popular disciplinary tools including punishments, threats, bribery, and rewards all of which, science has shown, sabotage so many of the long-term goals we have for our kids. Child development experts Linda and Ty Hatfield, along with award-winning journalist and author Wendy Thomas Russell, dismantle the pervasive myths that have given rise to these tactics and introduce a method designed to solve virtually any household challenge while honoring children's emotional needs, preserving the parent-child relationship and strengthening each child's self-esteem. "With easy-to-read text written with empathy and good humor... here are some of the best tools available to help you build the best possible, mutually respectful, and loving, life-long relationships with your kids."
