Survival Guide for Parents:

How to Avoid Screwing Up Your Kids or Losing Your Own Sanity

By Mickey Michaels, B.A., M.A., M.B.A.

Have you ever asked yourself: What am I doing wrong? How can I teach my child responsibility? What can I do about my child's grades? How much freedom can I safely give my child? How much should I try to control his behavior? How do I deal with a rebellious teenager? How can I find some time for myself? Does parenting have to be such a struggle?

This little book can make your parenting more effective -- and even more fun! Parenting is a serious business, but it's a lot easier if we can learn to lighten up! Nagging your kids is unpleasant, and it's ineffective! There is a better way, which this book will show you. With the right approach, parenting does not need to feel like a burden. You can teach your kids to take on responsibility, and you can both enjoy the process. You can enjoy your kids of every age (Yes, even the teenage years!), and they can see you as a partner, rather than "The enemy". This book can change the way you experience parenting and the way your kids feel about you.

Babies: Don't put your baby on a schedule you can't live with. Babies can fall asleep anywhere -- unless you teach them that they require absolute quiet Your baby won't sleep through the night until you are willing to let her.

Separation Anxiety: This is a phenomenon experienced primarily by parents. Your child does not yearn for you every moment you are out of her sight. Don't let this hurt your feelings, It's a good sign. Children can't learn to be away from you unless you let them.

The book is easy and fun to read. It takes you through every step of parenting, from infancy through the dreaded teenage years, to grown kids ready to leave home. It's not complicated. It doesn't preach to you. But each of these short observations has a great deal of substance. Some of them will make you laugh. All of them will make you think. And they will make you a better parent.
