"This book is divided into manageable, but very detailed,
segments. Dr. Popkin's style offers scenarios and suggestions
for action, and 'homework' exercises that help parents practice
how to interact effectively with their children. He advocates,
for example, asking children's help, giving the child a choice,
and making sure parents can live with those choices. This approach
is based on the premise that parenting is difficult but essential,
and that people today have little or no training in how to be
a parent. Indeed, Dr. Popkin founded this publishing company
in 1980 for the express purpose of teaching parents; it offers
a plethora of books and videotapes on childrearing, including
subjects ranging from education and violence prevention to divorce
and grief. The common thread is parental involvement, something
hard to do in today's busy world, but nonetheless essential."
