Details: The new second edition includes “common sense” parenting practices that will help parents from all backgrounds relate to their children and build strong, supportive family relationships that can last a lifetime. New in Everyday Parenting, the authors have integrated multiple theoretical approaches and models consistent with the issues children and families are facing today, along with new, emerging research. Although many of the skills parents will learn in this book are focused on intervening with children when there is a problem (such as oppositional behavior), we also focus on the everyday skills that help parents interact with children in positive ways and build strong relationships, regardless of the child’s behavior or emotional state. This book is intended for both parents and therapists, and the skills and exercises presented here can be used for working directly with children or adolescents regardless of their age, problems, culture, mental health, or ability. This valuable resource helps parents develop the skills they need to support positive child behavior, as well as reduce behavior problems, such as escalation of negative emotions, disruptive behavior, or emotional lability. The content can be used as an intervention for children who are already experiencing difficulties, or it can be used as a prevention program to support all parents in healthy ways to interact with children. This new edition covers the following parenting skills: Positive Behavior Support Supervision and Listening Limit Setting Emotion Regulation Emotion Coaching Consequences Family Communication Choosing Solutions to Family Problems Proactive Parenting Shared Family Routines Each chapter is designed to offer guidance and practice opportunities for providers and parents. As providers, it’s important to adapt and tailor the order and content to each family you work with so that the process fits them. Chapters may be used out of order or adapted to the specific needs of families, and providers may use only parts of the content to meet the needs of caretakers.
