Sidestep the 10 Most Common Parenting Traps
"A great read! Unique and practical. A terrific guide for any parent."
â€” Marcus. J. Goldman, M.D., author of The Joy of Fatherhood
Even though parents have the best intentions for their kids, they sometimes fall into parenting traps that can hinder their children's healthy growth. As this wise and practical book explains, the key to avoiding these pitfalls is to realize that being a parent is not something you are, it is something you do.
Author Kevin Steede, a psychologist and father, shows you how to develop effective parenting skills and become actively involved in the lives of your children. You'll learn the hidden power of consistency, constructive discipline, open communication, and a positive attitude.
Anyone can be a great parent. It just takes the desire to make parenting a priority in your life â€” and knowing the strategies and skills outlined in this book.

Summary: There's hope for my little Jimmy, Jr. yet!!!
Comment: Thank you good doctor Kevin Steede!! Thank you!!

Don't be fooled by the title. This isn't like David Leterman's top tens. There's nothin funny about children unless it's Halloween. Before we got this book as a present our fourth preciuos one Jimmy Jr. had driven us to hell and back. Even though he's twelve years shy of driving!! Before this book, Jimmy spent those afternoons hopped up on sugar and the game shows, but no more! No sir! Following the good Doctor Steede's advice, we have him doing what the book called "yes!" activities. Picking up trash and whatnot. (Since we live alongside the interstaqte, you know there's never any shortage of filth.)

Also, my wife and I have found the book to be really good when we're pointing out the things our friends are doing wrong with their kids. And it gave us good reason to tell our Lamaze instructor where she could stick her "advice."

One more last thing though. I was surprised to see that pit bulls diddn't made the doctor's 10 mmost common mistakes list. Maybe next year.

A good good book!

Summary: A delightful quick trip to being a better parent!
Comment: From among the muddle of "Better Parenting" books comes forth this delightful and straight-forward guide. I suspect that no one can read it without improving their parenting style and general outlook on life. I bought several to give to friends. Bill Dingus
