Nashville, TN (PRWEB) February 24, 2005 -- Parents fighting the constant
battle to get their children to eat, sleep and behave will breathe a sigh of
relief with the release of Taming Your Family Zoo: Six Weeks to Raising a
Well-Mannered Child (Revell, May 2005), by Donna Jones. In just six weeks, Donna
teaches parents how to raise well-mannered children through the powerful tools
of Rehearsing, Reminding, Reinforcing, and Reflecting.
After the launch
of ABC’s hit “The Supernanny” (a reality show dedicated to helping stressed-out
parents of bratty kids by providing them with their own personal “supernanny”),
the country began to recognize that the world is full of ill-mannered, misguided
children…children being raised by parents of all types--overly permissive,
overly strict, inconsistent, absent, and often ineffective. Unfortunately many
parents simply don’t have the right practices in place when it comes to raising
well-behaved children.
“…if you are like most parents, I’ll bet there’s
been a time or two when you’ve wondered, whose child is this, anyway? A moment
of exasperation, perhaps, or a moment of embarrassment or disbelief. A moment
when you were certain you were doing things all wrong as a parent. I’ve been
there. We’ve all been there. Yet there is hope!” writes Jones. “The child that
baffles you now can amaze you later—if you are prepared to guide that child
armed with wisdom and knowledge.”
Chapter topics include:
• How to
Raise a Brat
• Manners Made Easy: No Nagging Required
• Meeting and
Greeting Requires More than a Grunt
• Table Manners: It’s Feeding Time at the
Zoo
• and others…
Jones ends the book with a chapter featuring
questions and answers from everyday parents on a variety of issues. By
emphasizing essential family principles such as love and respect, addressing a
variety of temperament issues, and offering a six-week training manual, Taming
Your Family Zoo sets parents on the road to success in raising their own little
angels—no supernanny required!
