Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Your response to your child’s behavior is important. If you respond with a tongue-lashing, your child will feel bad and will probably apologize. If you ignore the behavior, your child will probably get what he wants and feel good about himself. #2 Parents should be prepared to have teachable moments with their children. These are the moments when reality enters the picture and makes an impact on the child’s mind and heart. #3 Today’s parents are so concerned about their children being successful and happy that they fail in their most important role: being a parent. They snowplow their child’s road in life, smoothing all the bumps so the child never has to be uncomfortable or go out of his way. #4 The principles in this book work with 4-year-olds, 14-year-olds, and CEOs of million-dollar companies. They may seem hard-edged, but you came to this book because you want to see changes in your home fast.

Pride and Joy is a different kind of parenting book. In Pride and Joy, child psychologist Kenneth Barish brings together the best of recent advances in clinical and neuroscience research with the author's three decades of experience working with children and families. He shows how a deeper appreciation of our children's emotions offers parents a new understanding of their children's development and better solutions to the problems in their lives. Barish offers advice to parents on how we can restore more joyfulness and pride in our relationships with our children and how we can help children bounce back from disappointment and defeat. He shows how we can repair family relationships that have been damaged by frequent anger and resentment and how we can preserve our children's idealism and their concern for others--how we can raise children who feel good about themselves and also care about the needs and feelings of others. Barish also offers advice on how to solve problems of daily family life--establishing rules and limits, doing homework and going to sleep, winning and losing at games, our children's reluctance to talk to us, their tantrums and lack of motivation, and their addiction to television and video games. He presents down-to-earth recommendations for solving these common family problems--problems that too often erode the joyfulness of our children and our pleasure in being parents. Pride and Joy is both informative and highly practical, and a balanced answer to the extreme methods that too often dominate parenting debates. Few parenting books address the central issues of concern to today's parents while also offering parents as much day-to-day advice.
