STAR parenting tales and tools

Rejecting the notion of a one-size-fits-all approach to parenting, this guide uses the points of a star to provide an outline of different strategies for handling both everyday and serious child-guidance issues. The book is filled with anecdotes with which readers will identify, and it encourages parents to be creative in developing a variety of responses to children's actions. Childcare expert Elizabeth Crary explains how different temperaments and different development levels call for different approaches to child guidance.

Whether they are struggling with a power-happy toddler, expecting a second child, or raising a family of two or three or more children, parents will find invaluable advice in this book.
