The parenting skills taught in this book take into consideration variations in parents' experience and attitudes. They assume that all parents will make some mistakes. By learning many parenting skills, your chances of slipping seriously are considerably reduced. The overall philosophy of this book is that there is no single technique to use with your children. Knowing more about all of the available discipline skills will make you a better parent. The 50 skills in this book are divided into categories based on your goals related to a parenting problem or child discipline situation. Choose your goal (for example, reducing the frequency of a misbehavior or increasing your child's self-control) and several options will be described in detail with real-life examples. Although the discipline skills described are not always easy, parents can use any or all them effectively with practice. And the great news is that they are all childproof. That is, your child cannot be harmed by any of them if you use them as recommended.
