The educated parent

the long version

"With so much conflicting advice aimed at parents, it's difficult to determine which sources of child development literature are the best to follow. Sclafani - a 13-year veteran of teaching, child psychology, and family therapy - helps readers access the appropriate research-based findings. He highlights the different approaches to childrearing and provides practical advice about which approaches work best and why. This volume gives parents understandable, straightforward information to help them become more effective and positive in their interactions with their children."--Jacket.
