The Perfect Child: How to Make Your Kid Make You Look Good James G. Crakes Ph.d.

Why should you take the time to read this little book on parenting? ? It?s certainly not because a ?Perfect Child? exists on this planet. ? It?s not because the author believes he has all the answers. ? It?s not because there is only one way to provide your children with good parenting. ? It is because, through the experience of more than fifty years of teaching, coaching and being a parent, I have developed some insights you may find enlightening. ? I have not provided you with theories, but practical applications of common sense suggestions on how to accomplish small miracles on a daily basis. Who is most likely to take some of the suggestions made in this booklet and incorporate them into their own parenting style? ? People who are dissatisfied with their own childhood experiences. ? People who have never thought much about raising their children. ? People who know there is a better way than how they?re doing it. ? People who feel trapped in the dilemma between what?s happening in their family and what they think should be happening. ? And above all, those parents who sincerely want to do a better job. And finally, we all need to be reminded more than we need to be informed.
