The Relaxed Parent

The Relaxed Parent. Does this sound to you like another of those impossible oxymorons, like "military intelligence" or "freezer burn?" Tim Smith - author, speaker, and formerly perpetually frazzled parent - believes a relaxed parent is not only possible, but essential for rearing healthy children. With humor and insight, Smith offers the rare parenting book that is at once funny, practical and hopeful. In a style reflective of popular authors Bill Cosby, Dave Barry, and Tim Allen, Smith provides insight into: * helping parents determine realistic expectations for themselves * determining how we spoil our children * communicating with and motivating our children * developing "response-able" children Along the way, Smith offers fourteen practical principles for becoming a relaxed parent. If you are looking for a fun book that offers practical advice on how to relieve the stresses of parenting, Tim would like a few words with you. --- from book's back cover
