One Step Ahead
by Michael Grose.
  One Step Ahead gives solutions to behavior and developmental issues that concern most parents. In particular it gives workable solutions to kids fighting and shows parents how to decrease sibling rivalry.
The A-Z of parenting situations and difficulties is an invaluable guide for parents who want ideas quickly and easily.
Good parenting isn't instinctive. It's something you learn by trial and error. But a little guidance on what to expect from your children goes a long way to helping you be confident and effective.
Michael Grose identifies the behavioural and developmental issues that most often cause concern and shows you how to work through them by:
* Understanding your child's behaviour and individuality.
* Teaching your child social and physical skills.
* Giving your child the freedom to learn from mistakes.
* Encouraging your child's sense of responsibility and self-discipline.
* Involving your child in family decision-making and conflict resolution.
* Communicating positively and acknowledging achievements.
* Establishing routines - and getting your kids to stick to them.
Michael, who is a parenting expert and father of three, also provides helpful and practical advice on all sorts of specific problems, from bed-wetting to fussy eaters, from swearing and tantrums to making friends.
He outlines the various stages and ages at which these problems are likely to occur and shows you how to keep your cool by staying one step ahead.
