In this guidance program, mom and doctor Deborah Gilboa discusses common issues for children ages two to six, including getting along with others, sharing (she recommends teaching kids to say “you can have this in two minutes”), picky eating (let kids choose two of the food groups on a plate, and you pick the others), and interrupting when someone is on the phone (train your child to quietly place a hand on your arm as a signal), as well as hitting and biting, respecting parent privacy, and more. Gilboa also stresses the importance of using key words as praise for a child—specifically, three R's: “responsible,” “resilient,” and “respectful.” Two other titles in the Effective Parenting Strategies are also available: Tips for Great Behavior from Kids Aged 7-10, and Tips for Great Behavior from Kids Aged 11-15. Sure to be welcomed by parents, this is recommended. Aud: P. (T. Keogh)
