Book
What's my child thinking? : practical child psychology for modern parents / Tanith Carey.
Summary:
"Make every moment with your child count. Tap into the psychology behind your child's behavior at every stage of development, and respond with confidence. Find out what your child really means when he says "Look what I did", "But I'm not tired," or "You're embarrassing me," and discover what's really going on when he can't express himself at all. Using more than 100 everyday scenarios, the book leads you through each one step by step, explaining not only your child's behavior and the psychology behind it but also your own feelings as a parent. It then gives instant recommendations for what you could say and do in response to best resolve the situation. Covering all your child's developmental milestones from ages 2 to 7 years, What's My Child Thinking? covers important issues, such as temper tantrums, friendships (real and imaginary), sibling rivalry, aggressive behavior, and peer pressure. There's also a bank of practical "survival guides" for critical times, such as traveling in the car, eating out, and going online safely. Rooted in evidence-based clinical psychology and championing positive parenting, What's My Child Thinking? will help you tune in to your child's innermost thoughts and be the parent you want to be."-- from publisher.

Children's behavior can challenge the best of parents. Kennedy-Moore and Carey, experts in developmental psychology and journalism, respectively, provide practical answers to puzzling situations to help parents deal with youngsters' issues. The book suggests "good enough" parenting using emotional coaching techniques like modeling behavior, calming the child, acknowledging the child's positive and negative emotions, and problem-solving together. Next, the authors summarize child development for three age spans: 2â3, 4â5, and 6â7 years old, addressing situation-specific issues for each age range. For each issue, the authors provide a scenario, what the parent will likely think in response, what the child is probably thinking, and how parents should respond. There is also a survival guide for birthday parties, moving, school pressure, divorce, technology use, and so forth. A useful bibliography and index complete the volume.The writing is very clear, the simple illustrations are engaging and consistent, and the suggestions very feasible. Parents will welcome this friendly supportive guide. Look for high circulation in public libraries. Copyright 2019 Booklist Reviews.
