Got the Baby Where's the Manual?!?
Respectful Parenting from Birth Through the Terrific TwosJoanne Baum, PhD
Got the Baby Where's the Manual?!? guides new parents through the ups and downs of Respectful Parenting from becoming a family through the Terrific Twos. Respectful Parenting provides the practical skills needed to parent with wisdom, kindness, and respect. The concepts provided in this book are beneficial to both children and parents. Parents feel satisfied when they are able to assist their young children in establishing positive self esteem and essential life skills, while children are empowered through positive communication and decision making skills, and are encouraged to respectfully negotiate parent-child boundaries.
What makes Got the Baby Where's the Manual?!? unique:
- The book features Respectful Parenting, a revolutionary parenting system that provides a paradigm shift for parents – from the essentially shame-based approach of the last few decades, to a respectful approach using limits and consequences that work for children and parents.
- Parents find themselves healing old wounds left from their childhood when they see their young children’s confidence soar as a result of using the easy to learn concepts in this book.
- The book is full of strategies specifically developed for parents raised in less-than-ideal homes who don’t want to repeat the patterns from their childhood.
- Brain science research recognizes that the ideas and strategies advocated in Respectful Parenting are exactly the kinds of parenting ideas that can help optimize a child's social, emotional, and cognitive development.
