Over the past thirty-five years, Between Parent and Child has helped millions of parents around the world strengthen
their relationships with their children. Written by renowned psychologist Dr. Haim Ginott, this revolutionary book
offered a straightforward prescription for empathetic yet disciplined child rearing and introduced new communication
techniques that would change the way parents spoke with, and listened to, their children. Dr. Ginott's innovative
approach to parenting has influenced an entire generation of experts in the field, and now his methods can work
for you, too.
In this revised edition, Dr. Alice Ginott, clinical psychologist and wife of the late Haim Ginott, and family relationship
specialist Dr. H. Wallace Goddard usher this bestselling classic into the new century while retaining the book's
positive message and Haim Ginott's warm, accessible voice. Based on the theory that parenting is a skill that can
be learned, this indispensable handbook will show you how to:
Discipline without threats, bribes, sarcasm, and punishment
Criticize without demeaning, praise without judging, and express anger without hurting
Acknowledge rather than argue with children's feelings, perceptions, and opinions
Respond so that children will learn to trust and develop self-confidence
