Personal development and motivational guru Dori Nolan presents a comprehensive look at two of the most well-known parenting styles-that of the so-called "Tiger Mom," who runs her house as if it's a Navy SEAL training camp, and the "Western Mom," whose approach to parenting is rather lax and child-guided-and argues that the best parenting method is one that combines the positive aspects of each (as well as that which matches best with the temperament of the child). A single mom who specializes in personal development and parent-child relationships, therapist Dori Nolan has spent years studying different parenting methods, field-testing them in her own home, and advising other parents on the subject as well. Parenting is a "trial and error" process, but with her book, Nolan provides valuable information that will make parenting easier and more effective by showing how create a parenting style that provides the nurturing, motivational, free-spirited environment with enough structure and control to guide the children onto the path towards success. You'll learn how to: - Motivate and encourage without going the "everyone gets a trophy" route - Balance competitiveness and cooperation - Better understand your child's needs and how to approach them - Discipline effectively in a psychologist-approved method - Handle being a single parent - Encourage your child's social development in the most beneficial way possible And that's just a few of the topics that Nolan covers. This book has helped thousands of parents find the parenting method that best suits the needs of their child. By prescribing a balanced, highly customizable parenting style, Dori Nolan's book has the power to help all parents, no matter their situation.
