About this title

Synopsis

What Great Parents Do is an everything-you-need-to-know roadmap for parenting that you will consult again and again. Psychologist Erica Reischer draws on research in child development and cognitive science to distil the best information about parenting today into bite-sized pieces with real examples, useful tips, and tools and techniques that parents can apply right away. This book will show you:

- How to avoid common parenting mis-steps.
- How to transform power struggles into cooperation.
- How to change unwanted behaviour such as whining and procrastinating, without having to yell or nag.

The book is based on Dr. Reischer's popular parenting workshops that bring together research with real-life examples to create a toolbox for parents that is relatable, actionable, and easy to follow.
