Easy Obedience (Foundation of Parenting Series : No. 1) by Kuzma, Kay. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780828010849.

Is obedience ever really easy? Some might argue that its impossible! But I disagree. Parenting will always have its challenges, but with a foundation of understanding and love, and a willingness to meet your childs basic needs, you can apply the techniques in Easy Obedience and experience the pleasure of rearing a child who is generally willing to obey. This is really a book about the importance of self-discipline. Many parents think that making children obey is what parenting is all about. Instead, our job should be to encourage children to become self-disciplined. To discipline really means to teach. Ive been a teacher of young children, as well as university students for many years, and the same techniques that are successful in the classroom can revolutionize your home. So I offer you a method of discipline based on a foundation of educational theory and practice, coupled with the practical experience of rearing three grown children with my husband, Jan. It is a method that has stood the test of time. Happy Parenting! Kay Kuzma Contents 1. Lessons Ive Learned From Children 2. Goals for Easy obedience 3. Parenting Styles for Easy Obedience 4.
