What's a Parent to Do?: Solving Family Problems in a Christlike Way

Book by Latham, Glenn

Dr. Glenn Latham is a behavior analyst who merges the principles of the gospel and the best of what has been learned in this century from research in the study of human behavior in creating an invaluable reference book for any parent or care-giving charged with the responsibility of raising a child. What's A Parent To Do? helps parents better understand not only what their responsibilities are, but also teaches them how to parent in nonpunitive, noncoercive, positive ways. Through practical applications, What's A Parent To Do? shows parents exactly how to resolve conflicts, deal with disobedience, and cultivate love. In many respects, What's A Parent To Do? is a how-to manual for parents that demonstrates what parents can and should do and say in specific (often difficult) situations. Some of the strategies offered fly in the face of what instinct might prompt a parent to do, but Dr. Latham has proven them in his own family, in his LDS ministry, and in his counseling practice. What's A Parent To Do? is recommended for all new parents, and will prove invaluable and innovative for even experienced parents. -- Midwest Book Review
