Why not make a masterpiece of your life as a parent? In this book you'll discover... How many things you are already doing right as a parent... How you and your family can lead a calmer life... How you can strengthen your relationship with your children... How you can emphasize love and minimize the emotional aspects of parenting... How you can examine the values you wish to pass down to your own children... The key to becoming the best parent you can be is to develop the habit of consistency. When you say what you mean and do what you say, it gives your children a message of clarity. When you "keep your word," you teach your children about honesty and integrity in your everyday lives. As parents, when you truly live the values you believe in, and model them on a daily basis, you are giving your children two of the greatest gifts you can ever give them. DeLucia condenses over three decades of study and experience with parents and children to help you enhance the parenting skills you already have. You'll learn how you can make your most important vision of being the best parent you can be, a reality.
