5.0 out of 5 stars Parents Are Teachers, December 12, 2002

By	Linda I. Slone (Corrales, NM) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I highly recommend this easy-to-read, interactive parenting workbook to parents pulling their hair out, wondering how to achieve cooperation and not struggles between them and their kiddos. I have been using this book in a course I teach for families since it first came out in the '70's. The practical information and easy-to-implement suggestions contained in it are timeless. Although the strategies are entirely uselful for parents of any child, this book is particularly helpful for parents with children whose behavior is difficult to manage, whose children have language processing disorders, or other learning difficulties.

4.0 out of 5 stars PARENTS ARE TEACHERS by Wesley C. Becker, February 10, 2001

By A Customer

This great little book has been designed to help parents learn to be more effective parents by becoming more effective teachers of their children. This proven program shows parents how to systematically use consequences to teach children in positive ways what children need to learn to become effective people.

Thanks to PARENTS ARE TEACHERS, my children and I benefitted from my improved parenting skills. Today, I am a family therapist and I always recommend this book as a MUST READ for all parents.

This is an excellent book. It teaches you how to get over the bumps with the kids and their behavior and then teaches you how to do certain 'exercises' with each situation.
