Wolf, and parents are often uncertain about how to cope. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn his new book, Wolf presents a fresh perspective on this less pleasant behavior and a surprisingly simple method for dealing with it.

Using numerous examples of effective and ineffective parent-child interactions, he offers practical advice on a wide range of basic issues, from tantrums and back talk, to getting kids off to school in the morning and eliminating sibling fights. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHumorous and easy to use, \u003ci\u003eThe Secret of Parenting\u003c\/i\u003e is guaranteed to dramatically increase the joy parents get from raising their children.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anthony E.
