Book Description

February 12, 2009
Using Your Head as Well as Your Heart to Raise School-Aged Children

Learn to approach discipline as positive teaching rather than punishment of your children! Encouraging children by recognizing what they do right and teaching before problems occur are as important as correcting negative behavior.

This audio book helps parents of children ages six to sixteen facing a myriad of family challenges. It provides you with a menu of proven parenting techniques that build good family relationships, prevent and correct misbehavior, use consequences to improve behavior, teach self-control, and help you and your child stay calm in emotionally intense situations.

You ll also learn how to help children solve problems and make good decisions, reach goals by using charts and contracts, and practice new social skills. As each new parenting technique is introduced, the authors explain each step, provide many clear examples, and give you an action plan for implementing it in your home. This new, third edition offers new advice on setting reasonable expectations for children, creating predictable routines and special family traditions that help children feel secure, and putting together a parenting plan using all of the parenting skills described in the book.

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Designed for the parent who wants to avoid wading through theories and paradigms of parenting, Common Sense Parenting offers just that?solid, easy-to-read common sense. Burke, who developed the Common Sense Parenting Training Program at Boys Town, and Herron, a former community director of Boys Town, are big on recognizing consequences, both positive and negative, and staying calm. Several aspects of the Boys Town training programs are here, most very simple and easy to follow. The authors support the use of contracts and charts and give samples of what these should look like. A very good book that promotes bare-bones skills for all parents; recommended for public libraries.?Linda Beck, Indian Valley P.L., Telford, Pa.

5.0 out of 5 stars WINNER, 1997 NATIONAL PARENTING CENTER SEAL OF APPROVAL, November 13, 1997
By A Customer
The following review was done by the National Parenting Center upon awarding the Common Sense Parenting Book as well as the Common Sense Parenting Audiotape with its coveted Seal of Approval.

"When it comes to reading advice about parenting, what we've discovered is that parents like to be spoken to in a direct, common sense manner. No need to use flowery or highbrowed language, just give me some tips and I'll take it from there. Like the name implies, this book and the like-titled audiotape delivers the goods. Common sense tips and good ideas presented in an easy to read and listen to format. Parents mentioned that they really liked the written exercises which serve to help reinforce what you've learned. Here is a logical sensible approach to parenting, featuring good examples that our parents give a thumbs ups."

5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Parenting Resource, September 22, 1998
By A Customer
This excellent book offers parents solutions to common problems, as well as tips for positive guidance and effective praise. The program seems to be designed to encourage parents to expand on their current parenting techniques, rather than abandoning current practices in favor of a "new method." It boosts parents' esteem as well as giving tips on how to boost children's self-esteem. It sits on my shelf next to "1-2-3 Magic!"

5.0 out of 5 stars revised Common Sense Parenting, December 31, 2008
This book is highly recommended for parents that have trouble with raising their children to listen to instruction. The book teaches how to implement consequences, discipline and reward. It is a great book to teach parents how to deal with their children (i.e.-Nanny 911). It has examples of reward charts etc. Highly recommend if you are counseling families as well.
