The Competence Approach to Parenting

599 pages, Paperback

Author's Notes:

The idea of this book is that parents can teach children psychological skills. It’s helpful if the parents know those skills first!  I try to emphasize the methods of influence that are alternatives to punishment and nagging: modeling, differential reinforcement, instruction that takes place at times other than when the child has done something irritating, stimulus control, monitoring of progress, and so forth.  This book goes into some important psychological skills in depth: decision-making, conflict-resolution, organization, ethics and kindness, fortitude, anger control, skills for peer relations, relaxation, and others.
