FIVE STEPS for raising happier kids

If the kids are out of control - and everything you do seems to make matters worse - it’s time to change the dynamic. In many homes across America, children rather than parents control family life: Mornings are fraught with upset and tears, homework is a nightmare, mealtimes are a headache, and bedtime - forget about it. The “time-out” method parents have relied on for decades rarely works. Now Dr. Beth Grosshans’ five-step program teaches how to become a more effective parent and help children feel safer, be happier, and behave more appropriately
