Parents are faced every day with a multitude of decisions, and they worry about making the right choices. The Smart Love Parent offers a patient and caring approach to parenting created and tested by the husband-and-wife team of Dr. Martha Heineman Pieper and Dr. William J. Pieper. The Piepers offer a new understanding of the entire sweep of child development, allowing you to view the process of growing up through your child s eyes. Their breakthrough method avoids the extremes of permissiveness and of the old reward-and-punishment style of parenting that turns parents into disciplinarians. By offering a relaxed and realistic timetable for your child s development, they identify some previously unrecognized developmental milestones and show you how to help your child reach them through guiding, not punishing.
The Smart Love Parent helps parents cultivate a child s inner happiness, which is the best means of ensuring your child will grow up well behaved, responsible, self-confident, and able to reach his or her fullest potential.
