The Parent's Problem Solver

I wasn't very impressed. Sure, it's a good idea to think what you might be doing to encourage your child's bad behavior, but it's not always 50% your fault (and the solutions she suggests put more than 50% of the changes on the shoulders of the parents). Some solutions sounded good, like ignoring tantrums so they don't get the attention they want, but others were very unrealistic. For instance, just ignoring backtalk is not going to make it go away, in my experience. And if I told my kids that they wouldn't get punished for doing something wrong as long as they told the truth about it, I'd probably have very honest trouble-makers.
