Beyond Time-Out: From Chaos to Calm (Paperback)

Magazines such as "Time" and "Newsweek" have described parents as living in 'mayhem' and 'madness' with their out-of-control, undisciplined children. How did our families get to this state? To child psychologist Dr. Beth A. Grosshans, a half-century of parenting advice, with its time-outs, is largely to blame. Her ideas challenge this prevailing culture, proving that power and authority are as essential as love and good intentions to effective parenting. Akin to a private session with Dr. Grosshans, "Beyond Time-Out" enables parents to reflect upon their own behaviour and readjust an unbalanced family structure.
