Completely updated with the latest research in child development and
learning, Positive Discipline for Preschoolers will help parents
understand their preschooler and provide early methods to raise a child
who is responsible, respectful, and resourceful.
Caring for young children is one of the most challenging tasks an adult
will ever face. No matter how much you love your child, there will be
moments filled with frustration, anger, and even desperation. There will
also be questions: Why does my four-year-old deliberately lie to me? Why
is everything a struggle with my three-year-old? Should I ever spank my
preschooler when she is disobedient? Over the years, millions of parents
have come to trust the Positive Discipline series and its common-sense
approach to child-rearing.
This revised and updated fourth edition includes a new chapter on the
importance of play and outdoor experiences on child development, along
with new information on school readiness, childhood brain growth, and
social/emotional learning. You'll also find practical solutions for how
to:
- Teach appropriate social skills at an early age
- Avoid the power struggles that often come with mastering sleeping,
eating, and potty training
- See misbehavior as an opportunity to teach nonpunitive
discipline--not punishment
