Forget the traditional child control techniques like rewards, punishment, and time-out. They create distance, and do nothing for your child's creativity or self-worth. With "Choice Parenting" you can stay emotionally connected with your child while teaching responsibility and limits. Five new behavioral tools allow you to protect the parent-child relationship, the key to resolving difficult behavior problems. "Every parent can learn from this thoughtful book. Dr. Primason brings his creative, practical voice to the choice theory that I've been teaching for years. You'll do far better with your children, and all your relationships, if you replace external control with connection and encouragement. "Choice Parenting" tells you exactly how to do it."--William Glasser, M.D., Author of "Reality Therapy," and "Schools Without Failure" "I highly recommend this book to anyone who chooses to be a happier and more effective parent. It is filled with loving guidance as well as practical, yet profound ideas and examples."--John Brickell, D.C., Director, Center for Reality Therapy, United Kingdom "I enthusiastically urge all parents, therapists and child care workers to read "Choice Parenting." Dr. Primason presents a clear, respectful guide that can be referred to time and again."--Nancy S. Buck, Ph.D., Author of "Peaceful Parenting"
