Self-Help Relationships
No. It's not just a one-word answer, it's a parenting
strategy. By saying No when you need to, you help your
children develop skills such as self-reliance,
self-discipline, respect, integrity, the ability to delay
gratification, and a host of other crucial character traits
they need to be successful. Although the importance of using
No should be obvious, many parents have a hard time saying
it -- even when they know they should -- when other parents
and the culture around them are being permissive. Now, successful psychologist, bestselling author, and
nationally known parenting expert Dr. David Walsh provides
you with an arsenal of tactics, explanations, and examples
for using No the right way with your kids. With Dr. Walsh's
straightforward "parent tool kits," you can assess and
improve your relationship with your kids, set and enforce
limits that make sense for different ages (from toddlers to
teens), and otherwise make No a positive influence on kids'
behavior and in your overall family life. Other parenting books broach the topics of tough love and
discipline, but only No offers the lively voice, warm
wisdom, science made simple, and breadth of knowledge that
readers have come to expect from Dr. Walsh. The first look
at the psychological importance of No in a child's
development, No is filled with down-to-earth advice that you
can put into practice immediately. Dr. Walsh's memorable,
affecting, and sometimes humorous anecdotes remind you that
you're not alone in your parenting struggles and help you
regain confidence in your own judgment and ability to say
No. His stories also reinforce his message that establishing
healthy limits is not only essential for kids' well-being,
it's vital for creating disciplined, productive adults who
can compete in a global marketplace and ensure a prosperous
economic future for our country. Most important, No gives
parents real, effective strategies for helping their
children bloom and grow, giving them the psychological
resources to become healthy, happy adults.
