Book Description
Here's a strategy-packed guide for handling family conflicts creatively and effectively. Whatever the issue-bedtime, chores, sibling bickering-hands-on, family-tested solutions are here. Whether you're dealing with the public tantrum of a two-year-old, the defiance of a teen-ager late for curfew, or anything in between, this is the book you'll want to turn to.
With enlightening self-assessments that reveal your individual coping style for resolving conflict (Collaborating, Compromising, Accommodating, Avoiding, or Directing), plus tips for applying the authors' innovative problem-solving system to your own home, this book will help you handle old problems in new ways, tailor-made to you and to the needs of your family. With humor and the authority born of years of experience, the authors give many examples and practice sessions to try-they've been through it all and survived, and they show the reader how to do the same!
