This book presents a model of authoritative parenting that makes room for imperfection, focusing on the skills needed to build a strong parent-child relationship.

As parents, we often worry we amp rsquo re making the wrong decisions. The good news is, having a strong relationship with your child means you can make a parenting blunder from time to time, and exercise grace and patience to try again.
 
Written for parents of children from birth to young adulthood (ages -24), this book helps you examine your role as a guide, cheerleader, advocate, and most importantly, as a human being who doesn amp rsquo t always have the right answers. While your child amp rsquo s brain, body, emotions, and social abilities develop over time, author Dona Matthews shows how your skills as a parent can be developed too, by practicing relationship fundamentals such as acceptance, positivity, social support, boundaries, respect, self-care, and gratitude.
 
Rooted in the latest findings from neuroscience and psychology, this book presents a model of authoritative parenting that embraces imperfection. Each chapter focuses on a key relationship skill for parenting, with tips on how to practice it during different stages of your child amp rsquo s growth and in common stressful situations such as social, school, health, and family scenarios.
