Reviews

“This book is divided into three sections.The first part gives 40 scenarios of challenges parents frequently face with their children…The book’s second section is a nine-month rites of passage curriculum for both boys and girls….The third section gives parents ideas for activities that are appropriate for preschoolers to 18-year-olds…Parents tell what methods they used to solve the problems…Each scenario is followed by a brief section written by Dr. Nora Martin, who explains why the methods were successful.”
