How To Live With Your Children by Don Fontenelle
Every parent knows that dealing with children on a daily basis is not always easy. Frustrations can mount and it is often easier to opt for temporary sanity than to discipline unruly offspring. However, there is a more permanent solution within reach. Don H. Fontenelle, a clinical psychologist, provides parents with a few basic concepts and offers examples to demonstrate how they can be applied in every situation. By emphasizing a predetermined set of rewards and punishments, children learn about consequences and become more responsible for their own actions. This is a lesson the author believes is important for a manageable household.

Short chapters and subheadings make this book a quick reference for a myriad of situations. Sections touch on a wide range of issues, including fear, physical and emotional disabilities, bedtime problems, and teenage behavior. Children can develop bad habits that progress over time and inhibit growth and maturity. A child who is raised with stable, recognizable boundaries will not only be well disciplined, but will develop a healthy self-esteem, a strong sense of responsibility, and an increased learning capacity. The author shows families how this is possible.
