Editorial Reviews

Review

"Robyn Pound is a health visitor with a special interest in helping parents find a new way of disciplining children. One book she has found very helpful is A Parent's Guide to Understanding and Motivating Children . . ." London Times. -- London Times

"This is a clear and concise guide for all parents. In a very practical way it helps the parents understand their child's behavior and misbehavior. It is a very encouraging book. It is a great relief for someone to put into words the worries we all have as parents and to illustrate techniques that will help in the solution of everyday problems. It deals especially well with creating cooperation within families. I believe it could become your constant companion in the struggle that we all have in trying to bring up our children to be responsible, caring, and likable adults. Highly recommended." Ruth Farrell, Parents' Network of Ireland. -- Parents' Network of Ireland
