Or when brother and sister discover that they can't stand each other. Or when your son can't say no to video games.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Pocket Parent\u003c\/i\u003e is, literally, a pocket-size book of tried-and-true advice, common sense, parental wisdom, and sanity. Written by two professionals who've reared six children between them and made a career out of helping others with parenting issues, this handy book will be a lifesaver for every parent of a 2-to-5-year-old. It begins with an overall view of the Pocket Parent approach to discipline. Based on unconditional love but firm limits, and aimed at keeping the child's dignity and self-esteem intact, here are strategies that include \"I\" statements, modeling, family meetings, and \"one word\" requests. Once the ground rules are set, the guide moves to an A-to-Z compendium of common problems. Just look it up-Anger, Bad Words, Biting, Chores, Doctor Visits, Fears at Night, Lying, Separation Anxiety-and find the \"Sanity Savers\" list of suggestions, easy-to-follow bullets, anecdotes, and more.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor the bag, glove compartment, backpack, or shelf in the kitchen, it's there for you whenever you need it.","brand":"Workman Publishing Company, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47077358731504,"sku":"9780761167778","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780761167778_p0.jpg?v=1763655452","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780761167778","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
