Trying to teach your child self-control, but to no avail? It is good that this book exists, because you would have a lot of trouble and children's tears! The authors tell how parents can help their children avoid stress and not give up. Their advice will help the child become independent and approach the threshold of adulthood (before entering college or university) with the necessary knowledge and skills. All the stories in this book are completely true. These are the stories of children, parents and teachers with whom the authors had to work during the past years. Using the methods given in the book will help your child learn independence without tantrums, ultimatums and parental pressure.
