Creative Parenting

About the Book

How can I creatively motivate the childe who says, "I hate to read"? How can we cleverly quiet the bouncing young travelers in the back of the family vehicle? How can we instill solid values in impressionable young minds? If you have ever asked these questions, you need to read Creative Parenting.

The book contains activities for Fundays (backyard carnivals), Sundays (mystery car rides), Shirk Days (tips for traveling with and without children), Workdays (encouraging learning and making a house livable for children), Feeding Times (production line recipes), and Needing Times (instilling respect for all family members, times of transition).

Most children spend eighteen years living at home. Creative Parenting enables you to maximize the quality of this period. The activities suggested offer timeless, basic ideas for exercising children's minds and making family life more rewarding and less stressful for both parents and children. Hopefully they will keep children from writing on the walls and parents from climbing them.
