Summary: An Excellent Parent Resource
Review: As a teacher of young children and a soon-to-be parent, myself, I was very excited about finding this book. It has been invaluable in the classroom helping me effectively teach and care for my students. I find myself opening up Dr. Metzger's book frequently, whether it be about addressing behavior problems, social anxiety, or academic issues. When the parents of the children in my class come to me for parenting advice, as they often do, I recommend this book as a valuable tool. It is very readable and organized in such a way that it is easy to use. I know that I will continue to make good use of this book when my own child is born.

Summary: Here I go again!
Review: At age 57, I became a parent again to my two young grandchildren. I decided that I better do some reading to brush up on my parenting skills that I haven't had to use for a while. I honestly was relieved to find Dr. Metzger's book. His writing style was so easy to read. I found his "What to Do" and "What Not to Do" sections on each topic interesting and informative. But it's the Discussion section that I really like. To me understandng a problem or situation is really the key to being a good parent. By the end of the day with my grandkids I really don't have a lot of spare time to read. That's why I like this particular book. Whether I'm reading about anger or stealing or eating problems, Dr. Metzger gets right to the point. I highly recommend this book to all parents and grandparents or anyone who comes in contact with children or adolescents.
