    <![CDATA[It's instant relief for when your 2-year-old is on the floor of the toy store, pitching a fit. Or when brother and sister discover that they can't stand each other. Or when your son can't say no to video games.<br/><br/><em>The Pocket Parent</em> is, literally, a pocket-size book of tried-and-true advice, common sense, parental wisdom, and sanity. Written by two professionals who've reared six children between them and made a career out of helping others with parenting issues, this handy book will be a lifesaver for every parent of a 2-to-5-year-old. It begins with an overall view of the Pocket Parent approach to discipline. Based on unconditional love but firm limits, and aimed at keeping the child's dignity and self-esteem intact, here are strategies that include &quot;I&quot; statements, modeling, family meetings, and &quot;one word&quot; requests. Once the ground rules are set, the guide moves to an A-to-Z compendium of common problems. Just look it up-Anger, Bad Words, Biting, Chores, Doctor Visits, Fears at Night, Lying, Separation Anxiety-and find the &quot;Sanity Savers&quot; list of suggestions, easy-to-follow bullets, anecdotes, and more.<br/><br/>For the bag, glove compartment, backpack, or shelf in the kitchen, it's there for you whenever you need it.]]>

    <![CDATA[It's instant relief for when your 2-year-old is on the floor of the toy store, pitching a fit. Or when brother and sister discover that they can't stand each other. Or when your son can't say no to video games.<br/><br/><em>The Pocket Parent</em> is, literally, a pocket-size book of tried-and-true advice, common sense, parental wisdom, and sanity. Written by two professionals who've reared six children between them and made a career out of helping others with parenting issues, this handy book will be a lifesaver for every parent of a 2-to-5-year-old. It begins with an overall view of the Pocket Parent approach to discipline. Based on unconditional love but firm limits, and aimed at keeping the child's dignity and self-esteem intact, here are strategies that include &quot;I&quot; statements, modeling, family meetings, and &quot;one word&quot; requests. Once the ground rules are set, the guide moves to an A-to-Z compendium of common problems. Just look it up-Anger, Bad Words, Biting, Chores, Doctor Visits, Fears at Night, Lying, Separation Anxiety-and find the &quot;Sanity Savers&quot; list of suggestions, easy-to-follow bullets, anecdotes, and more.<br/><br/>For the bag, glove compartment, backpack, or shelf in the kitchen, it's there for you whenever you need it.]]>

    <![CDATA[It's instant relief for when your 2-year-old is on the floor of the toy store, pitching a fit. Or when brother and sister discover that they can't stand each other. Or when your son can't say no to video games.<br/><br/><em>The Pocket Parent</em> is, literally, a pocket-size book of tried-and-true advice, common sense, parental wisdom, and sanity. Written by two professionals who've reared six children between them and made a career out of helping others with parenting issues, this handy book will be a lifesaver for every parent of a 2-to-5-year-old. It begins with an overall view of the Pocket Parent approach to discipline. Based on unconditional love but firm limits, and aimed at keeping the child's dignity and self-esteem intact, here are strategies that include &quot;I&quot; statements, modeling, family meetings, and &quot;one word&quot; requests. Once the ground rules are set, the guide moves to an A-to-Z compendium of common problems. Just look it up-Anger, Bad Words, Biting, Chores, Doctor Visits, Fears at Night, Lying, Separation Anxiety-and find the &quot;Sanity Savers&quot; list of suggestions, easy-to-follow bullets, anecdotes, and more.<br/><br/>For the bag, glove compartment, backpack, or shelf in the kitchen, it's there for you whenever you need it.]]>
