Positive Child Guidance embraces a philosophy of deep respect for the unique qualities of individual children, while also providing users with detailed, real-world strategies for dealing with the myriad of behaviors that children exhibit. It teaches adults how to combine positive assertiveness and high expectations with genuine understanding, acceptance, and compassion.
