Does
your child rule your household?
Manipulation is the behavior kids learn when their parents are reluctant
or afraid to say no. Although it may seem easier to give in, allowing
manipulative behavior will have serious long-term effects on a child's
self-esteem and his or her ability to successfully meet life's challanges.
Drs. Swihart and Cotter, a pediatrician and a child psychologist who have
collaborated for nearly twenty-five years, here offer their groundbreaking
and clinically proven program for blocking manipulative behavior and getting
kids back on track.
The Manipulative Child tells parents:
• How to resist the urge to "fix" things for your kids,
so they can learn to solve difficult problems themselves
• How to regain control and become "manipulative-proof"
• How manipulative behavior and low self-esteem are linked
• How to promote your child's independence and enjoy the fruits of
value-guided parenting
Authorative, readable, and absolutely effective, The Manipulative Child
gives every parent the tools they need to raise happy, healthy, independent
children.
