Psychologist Reischer's parenting style might be best described as 'evidence-based.' In her parenting workshops and this book, she distills research on children's social and emotional development into a set of best parenting practices. She is at her best in the 'Try This' section at the end of each chapter, which includes real-life examples and step-by-step instructions for applying the strategy in a challenging parenting situation. Like many authors of parenting books, Reischer wrote the one book she was unable to find when her first child was born. She has ensured that parents of young children no longer have that problem.
