Parenting

By Roman Espejo

Book Overview

When I grow up I am not going to treat my kids like you treat me! You probably said that to your parents while growing up, because it's easy to get flustered during family tension, and so easy to criticize what's standing across from you. Parenting is definitely a skill, and just because you have a child, it doesn't mean you have great parenting skills. It's a long, adaptive learning process filled with challenges. This collection of essays, spread across four chapters, navigates readers through the issues relating to parenthood. The essays are in a pro-versus-con format, which in addition to sharing facts and details, allow for objectivity to develop was readers form their own opinions. Topics such as discipline, reinforcement, grounding, shielding children from emotional distress, single parent, same-sex parenting, and teen parenting are all richly debated.
