The Three P's of Parenting

Children do not come with operating instructions, but if they did, The Three P's of Parenting would probably be it. Using lessons from her popular parenting seminar series in New York City, learning specialist and consultant Jennifer Jones, Ph.D., takes parents inside the minds and lives of children to reveal the three types of behavioral "signals" that all children send and few parents recognize. The perfect handbook for busy parents, The Three P's demystifies parenting with clear, simple, eye-opening explanations of what motivates children as they move from tot to teen. Misbehavior is not what you think. There is a reason your discipline does not always work, and the cause of your child's difficulties at school will probably surprise you. You will find something here for parenting at every life stage. Take a closer (and revealing) look at timeouts for your toddler. Find direction for your school-age child in Jones' innovative responsibility menu, and turn your teen around with life planning. The secret to a happy relationship with your child is right in front of you. Learn to see your child in a new way with this inspirational tool that moves you to action and brings you and your child instantly closer. Jones is the founder and CEO of LearnGarden, Inc. (www.learngarden.com), providing tools and strategies that empower parents to solve problems associated with the learning and behavior of their children, while strengthening the parent-child bond.
