Learn How To Strike The Proper Balance Between Permissive And Authoritarian Parenting

Are you frustrated and discouraged by our youngster’s behavior and you just can’t seem to do anything about it? Do you vacillate between yelling and spanking and between bribing and pleading with a predictable lack of success? You are not alone. In fact, one of the most difficult aspects of parenting is being able to strike the right balance between being too permissive and being too restrictive. You need to start setting effective limits-now.
Dr. Robert Mac Kenzie’s approach in Setting Limits helps parents teach their children how to make acceptable choices and to truly understand the consequences of unacceptable behavior. Mac Kenzie shows parents how to:
-Set clear, firm limits
-End conflicts and power struggles
-Communicate rules
-Encourage cooperation
-Teach children problem-solving skills
-Apply consequences of misbehavior
-Give guidance to teens
-Solve problems with chores and homework.

Children desparately seek to know what their boundaries are. By following Mac Kenzie’s lead, you will witness how your children respond positively when these boundaries are rational, predictable, and enforced. With the help of Setting Limits, you are on your way to creating a happier home life.
