A Positive, Proven Approach to Single Parenting!
As a single parent in our complex world, you face the challenge of doing alone a job that was meant for two people. In addition, self-doubt and guilt may dampen the joy you experience raising your child. What do you do?
Over the years, millions of parents just like you have come to trust Jane Nelsen's classic POSITIVE DISCIPLINE series for its consistant, commonsense approach to child rearing. In this completely revised and updated edition of Positive Discipline for Single Parents you'll learn how to succeed as a single parent in the most important job of your life: raising a child who is responsible, respectful, and resourceful.
Inside this reassuring book, you'll discover how to:
·Identify potential problems and develop skills to prevent them
·Budget time each week for family activities
·Create a respectful coparenting relationship with your former spouse
·Use nonpunitive methods to help your children make wise decisions about their behavior
·And much, much more!

"Another great resource for both single parents and therapists . . . practical and enjoyable to read. A must for your parenting library."—Stephen Sprinkel, marriage and family therapist

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Single parenting can be overwhelming and highly stressful, and single parents have relatively few written guides at their disposal to help them through the challenges. Positive Discipline for Single Parents is one of the best. Like all of Jane Nelsen's books (Positive Discipline: The First Three Years, Positive Discipline A-Z, and others), Positive Discipline for Single Parents is as much about general positive parenting skills as it is about the smaller subset of discipline. Nelson and her assorted coauthors write books that focus on raising children with nonpunitive discipline, through clear communication techniques and child-positive approaches to problem solving. Nelson's parenting recommendations incorporate understanding misbehavior; encouragement, praise, trust, and respect for children; the use of firm, wise limits; and allowing and providing for natural and logical consequences for misbehavior. In Positive Discipline for Single Parents, Nelson and her collaborators deal with these issues and more, including ways to face the challenges presented by the children's other parent, and how to help your child accept your dating and sex life. They provide solutions, solace, and respite for parents trying to raise kids on their own without losing their minds. --Ericka Lutz --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for stressed single moms!, May 14, 2003

This review is from: Positive Discipline for Single Parents : Nurturing, Cooperation, Respect and Joy in Your Single-Parent Family (Paperback)
I borrowed this book from the library and loved it so much that I decided I needed to make it a part of my own library at home. So many times as single parents we are stressed beyond belief by the world that we forget that it is just as hard on the children as well as ourselves. This book helps single parents to think through some of the traps of parenting that we fall into. It has had many wonderful effects on my four year old son. It takes some time to get out of the normal sequence, but once you do you will see that it really makes a difference.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Help for a Struggling Single Mom, September 7, 2005
By 
Ms. Deb "DWazo" (Oakland, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Positive Discipline for Single Parents : Nurturing, Cooperation, Respect and Joy in Your Single-Parent Family (Paperback)
I purchased the book to assist my daughter in raising my grandson and to better acclimate us all to our precious new family member. I found the book very enlightening and straight to the point of the tools needed for a single parent and to hopefully adjust to yet a even more fruitful life. It equipped our family with essential info to help raise a strong child but also it helped us in strengthening our daughter and our resolve to make it as workable as possible, especially with the statistics stating otherwise. I know my grandson and our family will be the greatest recipients.
