This 24-page e-book contains 101 tips from the multiple-award winning book "Parenting without Stress: How to Raise Responsible Kids While Keeping a Life of Your Own." It is an excellent guide for quick reference. Being a parent can be rewarding and joyful, or it can be frustrating and stressful. Parenting is often fraught with emotional baggage and habits left over from your own childhood. Yet, it is possible to break free of such habits and offer your children guidance without blame or guilt. When flowers are planted and they do not grow as you would like, you look for reasons why the flowers are not doing well. Yet, when there are problems with young people, the children themselves are often blamed—when what we should be doing first is looking for the reasons. When you know how to influence your children in positive ways, they will grow as you wish. This does not mean that you can change their nature—no more than a palm tree can be turned into an oak. However, you certainly can nourish your children to become responsible and contributing members of society. This booklet explains how to accomplish this in today’s culture where the challenge for the parent is to be neither overly protective nor overly permissive. This e-book highlights key points from the multiple award-winning book, Parenting Without Stress: How to Raise Responsible Kids While Keeping a Life of Your Own.
