You are a parent. You are doing the most challenging job in the world. You face tough situations daily, and the decisions you make have lasting effects. One of your greatest challenges is trying to prevent problems from arising in the first place so that you don’t have to try to solve them later. How can you keep parenting a matter of prevention rather than solution of problems? Kathleen Simons draws on her experience as a parent and her training as a teacher to suggest positive, gentle, and effective ways to communicate your principles and nurture your children’s physical, mental and spiritual life. Appendices include lists of suggested books and movies for children and other parenting resources.
