A Walk Through Parenting: Create Your Personal Parenting Plan Ruth Ann Brinkmann Ph D

Publisher Marketing: Come. Walk with me through parenting. Our walk through parenting will be much like a walk through a magnificent garden accompanied by a friend who is a master gardener. As the two of you follow the various paths that pass through an array of plant, she will explain why some plants are growing and becoming objects of beauty while others are withering and dying. She will help you avoid the rose thorns that try to snag you. As you walk along the path you gather the flowers that are most appealing to you. As you exit the garden, you leave with a bouquet uniquely yours and the confidence that future walks through this garden and other gardens will be more enjoyable. Think of me as your personal guide through parenting and this book as a series of paths through parenting. Together we will go down paths that will sharpen your understanding of parenting your child from birth through the elementary grades. I will help you avoid the thorns of parenting. I will give you a variety of parenting techniques and explain when and how to use them. You will learn that no one technique solves all parenting challenges. Therefore you will select, from an array of parenting techniques, the ones that meld with your values and are appropriate for your child to create your personal parenting plan. Your new knowledge and your parenting plan will give you the confidence that future parenting will be more enjoyable.
