Download or read book The Three Principles of Parenting written by Bruce Ardinger and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2012-06-06 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is often said that children do not come with instruction manuals, so discovering how they function, what they can do, and why they act the way they do always remains mysterious, subject to parental suspicions and speculations. This book attempts to cut through the complexity of details by offering parents a set of basic principles that can be applied broadly to specific situations parents encounter in the process of raising their children. It does not attempt to offer all the answers because no book can do that, but in the focus on principles it hopes to create an awareness of the nature of parenthood. It hopes to show that parenting need not be daunting nor terrifying and can be fulfilling and effective. Parents can be good for children, and children can make their parents proud.

Download or read book The Power of Positive Parenting written by Matthew R. Sanders and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018 with total page 601 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Safe, nurturing, and positive parent-child interactions lay the foundations for healthy child development. How children are raised in their early years and beyond affects many different aspects of their lives, including brain development, language, social skills, emotional regulation, mental and physical health, health risk behavior, and the capacity to cope with a spectrum of major life events. As such, parenting is the most important potentially modifiable target of preventive intervention. The Power of Positive Parenting provides an in-depth description of "Triple P," one of the most extensively studied parenting programs in the world, backed by more than 30 years of ongoing research. Triple P has its origins in social learning theory and the principles of behavior, cognitive, and affective change, and its aim is to prevent severe behavioral, emotional, and developmental problems in children and adolescents by enhancing the knowledge, skills, and confidence of parents. Triple P incorporates five levels of intervention on a tiered continuum of increasing strength for parents of children from birth to age 16. The programs comprising the Triple P system are designed to create a family-friendly environment that better supports parents, with a range of programs tailored to their differing needs. This volume draws on the editors' experience of developing Triple P, and chapters address every aspect of the system, as well as how it can be applied to a diverse range of child and parent problems in different age groups and cultural contexts.

Download or read book Principles of Effective Parenting written by Joan E. Grusec and published by Guilford Publications. This book was released on 2019-06-07 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grounded in pioneering research, this authoritative text examines the parenting strategies that help children and adolescents develop into productive, happy members of society. Joan Grusec gives students and practitioners a roadmap for navigating the vast, seemingly contradictory literature on parenting. Rather than advocating one "best" style of parent–child interaction, Grusec identifies five domains of socialization and shows that different ways of responding to children are appropriate for each one. Chapters on each domain--protection, reciprocity, control, guided learning, and group participation--combine theory, empirical findings, cross-cultural considerations, and real-world applications. Personal recollections from culturally diverse young adults illustrate how parents helped impart important life lessons. Learning exercises present examples of children's behavior and invite the reader to select the most effective parenting action from several possible options.
Download or read book Parenting Matters written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2016-11-21 with total page 525 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Decades of research have demonstrated that the parent-child dyad and the environment of the familyâ€"which includes all primary caregiversâ€"are at the foundation of children's well- being and healthy development. From birth, children are learning and rely on parents and the other caregivers in their lives to protect and care for them. The impact of parents may never be greater than during the earliest years of life, when a child's brain is rapidly developing and when nearly all of her or his experiences are created and shaped by parents and the family environment. Parents help children build and refine their knowledge and skills, charting a trajectory for their health and well-being during childhood and beyond. The experience of parenting also impacts parents themselves. For instance, parenting can enrich and give focus to parents' lives; generate stress or calm; and create any number of emotions, including feelings of happiness, sadness, fulfillment, and anger. Parenting of young children today takes place in the context of significant ongoing developments. These include: a rapidly growing body of science on early childhood, increases in funding for programs and services for families, changing demographics of the U.S. population, and greater diversity of family structure. Additionally, parenting is increasingly being shaped by technology and increased access to information about parenting. Parenting Matters identifies parenting knowledge, attitudes, and practices associated with positive developmental outcomes in children ages 0-8; universal/preventive and targeted strategies used in a variety of settings that have been effective with parents of young children and that support the identified knowledge, attitudes, and practices; and barriers to and facilitators for parents' use of practices that lead to healthy child outcomes as well as their participation in effective programs and services. This report makes recommendations directed at an array of stakeholders, for promoting the wide-scale adoption of effective programs and services for parents and on areas that warrant further research to inform policy and practice. It is meant to serve as a roadmap for the future of parenting policy, research, and practice in the United States.
Download or read book Responsive Parenting Principles for Raising Connected Healthy Kids written by Boyd Brooks and published by Evergreen Press (AL). This book was released on 2018-01-23 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parenting is a daunting task, especially if you're young and inexperienced. Today many parents find themselves disconnected from their children and overwhelmed with a sense of helplessness. There are two basic approaches to parenting that can be used-- reactive parenting and responsive parenting. Reactive parenting, so prevalent in today's society, is done in reaction to something, whether a whining child or a parent's own anxiety. It is impulsive and produces poor results. As more and more young people reach adulthood without an adequate model of self-regulation and conflict resolution, the more visible this problem becomes. On the other hand, Responsive Parenting, as described in Boyd's book, is a principled approach to parenting. It emphasizes the importance of preparing children for adulthood. Responsive parenting is thoughtful and is in response to the child's best interests. It takes the long view. It listens and clarifies. It apologizes and forgives. It is flexible and extends freedom with responsibility. It is accepting and affirming while being connected and supportive. Boyd Brooks shows readers through easy to understand biblical principles how to build self-esteem and confidence in their children and help them discover who they were meant to be. "GET the book. READ the book. APPLY the book. The results will be measurable today as well as tomorrow!" --Robert J. Strand, multiple best-selling author "If you are a parent with growing children...it will help you be a better parent!" --Dr. George Wood, former General Superintendent, Assemblies of God

Book excerpt: I have observed in my pediatric practice a growing desire from young couples to have a Christian "How-To" model to encourage them in their awesome responsibility of parenting. Furthermore, I was frustrated by the destructive results of the philosophies of liberal authorities ripping away at the American family. Young people turn to three groups of people for advice when raising their children: their parents, their pastor, and their pediatrician. I have sought to combine the advice of all three into a workable structure for parents to use to train their children as God intended.
