I'll Be the Parent, You Be the Kid: The Hot Button Topics in Parenting Paperback - 1998

by Paul Kropp

From the publisher

"The book is engagingly written, full of thought-provoking arguments. Paul Kropp, father and former teacher, clearly likes children and he's good at dealing with them. He is also alarmed by current tendencies for parents to abdicate responsibility for teaching their offspring basic values. Many of Kropp's ideas come from his own experience and intuition. What particularly impresses me about this book, however, is his willingness to move beyond that experience and to carefully consider the scientific evidence about children's development. Thoughtful study, keen insight, and an entertaining writing style combine to produce a first-rate book." -- Dr. Joan Grusec, author of Parenting and Children's Internalization of Values

From the jacket flap

"I'll Be the Parent, You Be the Kid offers the insights parents really need to handle today's controversial parenting challenges.
With the many parenting books available today, it's not surprising many parents are confused by the wide range of methods, styles and quick-fix solutions being suggested. In "I'll Be the Parent, You Be the Kid Paul Kropp considers the most difficult issues in parenting using real-life scenarios and offers firm opinions based on the latest research. Drawing on his own experience as an educator and parent, his talks with hundreds of Canadian families and 40 years of reliable parenting research, Paul Kropp tackles such tough topics as:
discipline and spanking
sibling rivalry -- what's "normal"?
how much daycare is good daycare?
the impact of television on kids and families
the myth of quality time.
