T. I. P. S.: Time-In Parenting Strategies

If you only read one parenting book in your lifetime, then T.I.P.S. should be your choice. The earlier in your child's life you can get your hands on a copy, the better. Weininger clearly and succintly sets out his plan for helping children and parents deal with the most volatile emotional times in the everyday life of a family. It's a short little volume that might just change the way you think about crying and tantrums forever. While his approach may be less than culturally popular at the moment, his research-based findings about the effects of parents' actions on babies to teenagers are simply revolutionary. With an ultimate respect for the dignity and psyche of the child, Weininger has an invaluable lesson to teach parents about how their daily interactions and disciplinary efforts need to always take into account the long-term ramifications on child development. A must-read!
