Loving without Spoiling - Hardcover

Nancy Samalin, one of the most influential and widely respected parenting authorities in the country, offers her 100 top tips for raising great kids, based on the concerns she hears most often from parents in her seminars and workshops. Ms. Samalin is known for balancing discipline with love and humor so that parents can enjoy their children more. Her previous, bestselling books have been strong and steady sellers because of her unique style of offering practical, from-the-trenches advice, sprinkled with humor, love of children, and her trademark dialogues from real parents and kids that show both successful and not so successful interactions. This is the first book by Ms. Samalin to be organized by topic for easy access and reference. Parents will find insight on how to handle such typical but tough topics as power struggles, daily stresses, loving without spoiling, establishing and maintaining good communication, encouraging sibling harmony, teaching social skills, and developing your own parenting style and philosophy. Within each of these larger topics are more specific problems such as temper tantrums, whining, curing "the gimmes," gaining cooperation, jumpstarting a dawdler without nagging, and keeping good humor most of the time.
