This extended edition of Rules, Rituals, Routines, enhanced by over 30 minutes of additional commentary from nationally recognized parenting expert Dr. Thomas Knestrict, features in-depth discussion of approaches that can lead to fewer behavioral problems in children.
Dr Knestrict, a professor at Xavier University, discusses how predictable rules, family rituals, and consistent routines are important to help parents consciously structure their family life.
Dr. Knestrict has specialized for years in the behavior of young and special-needs children. He has conducted numerous workshops and seminars across the country for parents and educators. Here, he’s combined his extensive professional knowledge with his hard-earned real-life experience as a father of three, and created a practical program to teach parents how they can structure their homes and lives to keep themselves and their children happy, healthy, and sane!
Learn:
- What a family should base their rules on, and why.
- The two most important things parents can provide for their children’s emotional and mental well-being.
- How you can get your kids up, dressed and out of the house in the morning without being late – and how you can get them back to bed in the evening without going crazy.
A series of realistic live-action scenarios, enhanced by expert commentary, show how parents can consciously structure their family life. Along the way, we illustrate how developing a set of well-thought-out rules, rituals and routines will make parents’ lives easier and their children happier and well-behaved. A great addition to any family or parenting education program!
