Reviews

Psychologist and parent educator Heath has written a unique parenting book. Rather than tell parents how to handle troubling situations, she asks parents to define their values and then deal with their children in a way that illustrates those values. Worksheets and exercises aid readers in identifying, analyzing, and thoroughly understanding those values. Using invented conflicts between parents and children, Heath also shows how different values could be used to handle specific situations differentlyAand how this will teach children those values. She also covers some aspects of child development and delineates the appropriate parenting strategies for differing age levels. There is a short list of other resources parents may want to use.
