Resource Type

Book - Parent

Description

"...In "I Never Get Anything!" clinical psychologist Dr. Thomas W. Phelan identifies and describes the Six Kinds of Testing and Manipulation youngsters use to get their way: Badgering, Temper, Threat, Martyrdom, Butter Up and Physical Tactics. How parents think about and manage these normal testing strategies of frustrated children is a universal and critically important problem. And -- as Dr. Phelan points out -- not an easy job! Some parents become abusive tyrants, while others become spineless pushovers. Neither of these parental extremes is healthy, because kids who don't master the discipline of frustration tolerance early in life are going to be in trouble later in life. ... With the help of this book, you can prevent your kids from running your life, enjoy your time with them and contribute toward raising the responsible adults of tomorrow." -From the Publisher
