Dr Ray Coaches Parents to Make Discipline Less Frequent, Less Frustrating, and More Consistent
Winning the Discipline Debates covers a series of the most common (and most frustrating) discipline scenarios between parents and kids. Written in a script format, dialogue between the characters is interspersed with Dr Ray's comments and observations, and each scene ends with a summary and discipline ideas from Dr Ray. As a father of ten (with his children's ages ranging from twelve through twenty-four), clinical psychologist, public speaker, and national radio host, families have literally been Dr Ray's life. Learn, laugh, and let Dr Ray coach you to stand strong and become a more confident parent.
Some of the debates covered in the book include:
- A child who is wide awake and a mom who just wants to get some sleep
- A grandmother who interferes with a dad's discipline--and a child who suffers because of it
- Parents who argue in front of their kids--a lose/lose situation
- A mom who struggles to enforce the consequences she's decided upon
- Two siblings who are fighting and a mom who tries to sort things out
From preschool to the late teen years, Dr Ray coaches parents on how to make discipline less wordy, less frequent, less frustrating--and more definite. With Dr Ray as your coach, everyone wins!
