THE SOUL OF DISCIPLINE The Simplicity Parenting Approach to Warm, Firm, and Calm Guidance-- From Toddlers to Teens

Narrating this solid parenting resource, Mel Foster captures both the helpful attitude and pleasing clarity of the author's advice on parenting unruly children. His reasonable, optimistic tone and unfaltering diction will help neutralize the panic a lot of parents feel when their kids act out. The author provides a thoughtful framework for understanding children. He says kids of all ages often behave negatively because they're disoriented--unsure of their family's expectations and begging for structure. Using three basic parenting roles (governor, gardener, guide) for various stages of a child's development, parents can stay connected with their offspring emotionally and implement the level of oversight most useful for each child. Foster delivers this satisfying package of insights and guidance with comforting equanimity. T.W. © AudioFile 2016, Portland, Maine [Published: FEBRUARY 2016]
