Features: Unlike some other parenting books written by "experts" with PhDs who have never changed a diaper for a child, this book is the peak work of author Doug Pear, who has spent years switching between the "battlefields" of "being a father" and "being a lawyer." In his work, Pear often mediates among adults with poor parenting skills. Through extensive practice, he has found the key for parents. By following the 12 simple and practical rules in this book, Pear shows parents how to encourage and praise children without spoiling them, how to instill confidence gradually instead of fostering arrogance, how to set development plans for children without being overly comprehensive, and how to administer purposeful discipline instead of venting anger. What happens? Children with a sense of responsibility, respect for others, and a naturally happy disposition will grow up with "excellent equipment" as they enter adulthood.
