When "because I'm the parent" meets "you're not the boss of me" . . . 

Good news: there are many ways to parent willful children without every­day clashes. Here parents learn how to capitalize on children's strengths and make bad days more manageable. Full of ideas and techniques, it explores: how to use empathy first and discipline second; exercises and strategies that work to calm toddler tantrums; bringing teachers on board; raging hor­mones in teen rebels; and dealing with health and safety issues.

• Much more positive than other parenting books, which focus on discipline and parental control
• Helps parents understand and accept children for who they are, as well as who they can hope to be
