Reviews
Designed for the parent who wants to avoid wading through theories and paradigms of parenting, Common Sense Parenting offers just that?solid, easy-to-read common sense. Burke, who developed the Common Sense Parenting Training Program at Boys Town, and Herron, a former community director of Boys Town, are big on recognizing consequences, both positive and negative, and staying calm. Several aspects of the Boys Town training programs are here, most very simple and easy to follow. The authors support the use of contracts and charts and give samples of what these should look like. A very good book that promotes bare-bones skills for all parents; recommended for public libraries.?Linda Beck, Indian Valley P.L., Telford, Pa.
