PARENTING WISELY: Young Children © 2002

"I love the different choices of the scenarios-the one in the grocery store, and the one with the grandmother."
     - Amy Curry, SSTAR Program, Fall River, MA

Seven typical problem situations are presented including: misbehaving at the grocery store, interrupting telephone conversations, problems getting along with friends, how to parent when stepparents or grandparents also live in the household, school and homework problems, sibling fighting, and how to get children off to bed and ready for school on time.
      Based on the success of the original Parenting Wisely program, this new version is specifically designed to address the unique communication and compliance needs of parents of younger children by teaching the following parenting skills:
