Description
Parenting is the toughest job on the planet. Fortunately, Canadian parents have Ann Douglas to turn to as their guide. Using her trademark non-bossy approach to all of the perennial parenting hot topics, Douglas has pulled together the latest research on everything from teaching kids self-discipline to preventing power struggles within the family to encouraging kids to feel great about themselves. The result is an all-Canadian guide to raising healthy, happy kids a book no Canadian parent should be without.

- practical tips on teaching kids morals and values
- strategies for promoting healthy child-parent communication
- advice on avoiding parent burnout the lowdown on what it takes to keep kids safe today without smothering them

- research updates on bullying, eating disorders, childhood depression, and other important health and safety issues
- tips for riding out the sometimes rocky preteen years
- a listing of Canadian resources, including an Internet directory
