Summary

Chapter 11 outlines some positive parenting strategies designed to be of practical use for parents of children and young people. We discuss using praise in preference to criticism, setting out clear expectations of behaviour and identifying ways to develop our children’s independence. We also discuss how our own behaviour directly influences children and young people, so modelling an approach where we can be calm and engaged in problem solving has a more powerful impact than anything we tell our children to do.
