What do you do with a little kid who...won't brush her teeth...screams
in his car seat...pinches the baby...refuses to eat vegetables...throws
books in the library...runs rampant in the supermarket? Organized by
common challenges and conflicts, this book is an essential manual of
communication strategies, including a chapter that addresses the special
needs of children with sensory processing and autism spectrum disorders.
This user-friendly guide will empower parents and caregivers of young
children to forge rewarding, joyful relationships with terrible
two-year-olds, truculent three-year-olds, ferocious four-year-olds,
foolhardy five-year-olds, self-centered six-year-olds, and the
occasional semi-civilized seven-year-old. And, it will help little kids
grow into self-reliant big kids who are cooperative and connected to
their parents, teachers, siblings, and peers.
