From the moment you learn you're expecting, you're deluged by unsolicited advice. In the heat of the moment, however, all that well-intentioned advice may blur into a cloud of contradictory ideas. Everyone has opinions about what you should do, but those opinions are often based on little more than myth and heresay. What's a young parent to do? How do you keep your head clear and do what is best for your children? Having taught every level from Kindergarten to college, Roberto Lebron knows what it's like to stand before thirty rowdy kindergarteners and peacefully teach them to make messy art projects and take them to happy endings. Now he takes the knowledge and experience of successful teachers and mentors and offers it in plain English in this practical manual for young parents. · How to hold on to your wits in the middle of the craziness. · How to look at change (It's coming! Get ready!). · How to plan ahead effectively. · How to be more focused in parenting -- and in life. · How to make your home work for you, not against you. · How to use your new role as a parent to help you stay healthy. · How to build trust. · How to promote honesty. · How to foster independence, not neediness. · How to make the crucial first few years help you with the difficult teen years to come. · How to keep parenting from chewing up your life. · How to look at discipline from a different point of view. · How to enjoy parenting for the great adventure it is.
