I was then able to actually teach the math, reading, science, and social studies that I needed to because the kids had the training they needed to be more effective in class. Carolyn Webster-Stratton is a licensed clinical psychologist, nurse practitioner , and Professor Emeritus at the University of Washington. For example, lots of parenting advice suggests sticker charts, but this book goes into a lot more depth than other sources, listing common mistakes parents make using them and how to avoid those mistakes.

At first read, alot of the content seems like common sense parenting, but it is also very specific and scripted. This invaluable handbook uses the Incredible Years Parenting Pyramid as the architectural or construction plan for specific parenting tools that help prevent behaviour problems from occurring and promote childrens social, emotional, and academic competence, and healthy lifestyles.These evidence-based programs aim to improve children's academic, social, and emotional abilities while decreasing behavioral issues. It was focused on how to get better behavior from children, but within that focus it covered a side variety of techniques - time outs, ignoring unwanted behavior, positively reinforcing wanted behavior, teaching problem solving skills, etc. It is formatted for easier reading, with pull-out sections highlighting key principles and parenting tools. I know I'm asking too much; if Webster-Stratton came up with techniques that involved very little thought or effort she would be a Goddess and the world would be overrun by kids because those parents who go 'another kid? This is a parenting guide for parents of children ages two- to eight years old, written by the Incredible Years series developer Dr.

I think if your children are over 5 it's too late to apply these concepts without alienating your children or deeply embarrassing them.Other children are more difficult to parent than others because they are impulsive, hyperactive, inattentive, or delayed in some aspect of their development. All of these approaches will enhance parent-child positive relationships and attachment, build language development and promote positive peer interactions. I picked it up because Emily Oster mentioned in Cribsheet that RCTs have shown children's behavior improves after parents take The Incredible Years course. The book also focuses on tools for building family relationships and support networks as well as problem solving methods and self-regulation skills to manage stress.

Instead of having 1 silver bullet to solve all problems, they teach a number of tools that can work in different settings.

Having learnt about the Montessori approach I find that some of the approaches are at odds with Webster-Stratton's suggestions.

Algumas técnicas são demasiado americanas mas a intenção é clara e podemos adoptar soluções mais "europeias". This course is for parents who want to learn how to get the best behaviour out of their child and strengthen their relationship with their child. We also offer consultation services for ongoing assistance to ensure your agency or school has the necessary support to deliver the Incredible Years programs.

Foi me recomendado numa conferência em que participei sobre a importância do brincar e confirmo que é uma excelente ferramenta de ajuda aos pais que lutam todos os dias para ajudar os filhos nesta aventura do crescer. The majority of pages are undamaged with some creasing or tearing, and pencil underlining of text, but this is minimal. It includes pictures from the video program chosen to remind parents of the vignette discussions they had in their groups. I would recommend this book to a new parent with no experience as a place to start and then would have them move onto The Whole Brain Child, No-Drama Discipline, and Boundaries with Kids as much better texts. This is a used book - there is no escaping the fact it has been read by someone else and it will show signs of wear and previous use.
