Big Dog vs. Underdog Parenting Styles

by Thomas Phelan

Overview

From the author of the bestselling parenting book 1-2-3 Magic

All parents know that the job is tough, and the problem of "How do I manage my kids?" is intensified for parents in our contemporary rush-rush, worry-worry world. When parents don't quite know what they're doing, they tend to shoot from the hip. This can lead to two opposite, out-of-control parenting styles, neither of which is good for children. Underdog parents whimper; Big Dog parents bite. This guide explains:

• What Underdog parenting is
• What Big Dog parenting is
• The outcomes of these two opposite parenting styles
• The importance of a straightforward, though not easy, parental attitude adjustment.

This Quick Reference Guide is perfect for busy adults who need expert parenting advice—fast!
