Sample Book Insights:
#1 Parents must discipline their children, but they must do so in a way that does not involve punishment. Punishment sends the message that your love is equal to your approval, but discipline gives your child the message that you are willing to let him suffer for his actions.
#2 Parents often have unrealistic expectations for their children’s behavior. To help you put things into perspective, each chapter of this book contains developmental information with suggestions for realistic behavioral expectations for each age and stage.
#3 Your child’s personality is formed by the constant interplay of temperament and environment. Your child’s activity level, rhythmicity, distractibility, and temperament will all affect how he behaves.
#4 Your child’s temperament is made up of his response to new situations, his adaptability to new experiences, his attention span and persistence, and his intensity of reaction. If your child is adaptable in temperament, transitioning from one activity to another will not be a big deal.
