Food Fights and Bedtime Battles: A Working Parent's Guide to Negotiating

By Tim Jordan and Tim Jordan

Book Overview

As every parent knows, children can turn anything from taking a bath and brushing their teeth, to eating a meal and going to bed, into a daily power struggle-if not all-out war. In this informative yet down-to-earth guide, behavioral and developmental pediatrician Dr. Tim Jordan provides practical, non-judgmental solutions based on his own expertise and the experiences of real-life families. In addition to offering professional insights into every stage of a child's development, Dr. Jordan surveyed 500 working parents-and came up with a wealth of tips and tactics that really work. Food Fights and Bedtime Battles includes a special solution section filled with simple, effective advice for every situation. Designed for the special challenges of busy parents, it addresses the daily pressures and frustrations parents face. And with a little patience and love, it will help parents and children to keep the peace-from breakfast to bedtime.

good easy read with a good perspective

I'm a mom to 2 girls - a 5yo and a almost 1 year old. I found this book an easy read and it put my oldest daughter's recent behaviour into perspective. It's all common sense but I found it reassuring to know that what I was dealing with was typical of the age. Contains some good advice on how to keep my own emotions in check.
