Politically Incorrect Parenting

Do your kids sometimes make you feel as if your head is going to explode? Ever yelled at them until you were hoarse? Do you have days when you feel like making a run for the airport?

For harassed parents struggling to understand why they end up screaming at their kids and tearing their hair out trying to make them understand that bad behaviour has inevitable consequences, Politically Incorrect Parenting is the perfect book to help your family make it through the crucial first decade or so and still enjoy each other's company.

This guide offers practical, commonsense answers and real-life examples, along with logical and realistic strategies. It provides innovative behaviour modification tools that work in the real world—all from a parent and family therapist who's seen almost everything there is to see and offers some hard-won battlefield wisdom.

Written in down-to-earth language, this book needs to be handed out at birth—an essential guide for the struggling parent who knows family life can and should be better.
