I have a preschooler and we have certainly encountered our share of transitions and stumbling blocks. From potty training to sleep training, our two little guys have showed us how easy and how difficult it can be to grow up and develop new skills. I always try to keep my mind open for new ideas that might help us along with these big changes and steps. The Preschooler Problem Solver is a great resource for parents as they travel through these issues that pop up as their little one develops new skills and reach for bigger goals.
Whether your teaching your little guy how to use the potty or your pretty princess how to stay in her big girl bed, The Preschooler Problem Solver provides checklists to help you discern whether your child is ready for these big steps and then tips on how to survive them.
Crisis and stress provoking situations are also covered. I really appreciate the section on moving as we will be making another move this coming spring. There are so many unexpected life events that pop up and as parents we need to traverse them as well as lead our children through them. These things can be so difficult for us to handle and as parents, it’s not always easy to see what can help and what actually makes matters worse. The Preschooler Problem Solvers covers a whole host of issues for parents in a variety of situations. For single parents, there is some help on working with your child through divorces, custody issues, dating, and weddings. Funerals, financial difficulties, foreclosures, and hospitalizations are also covered. The author provides helpful information that is both creative and very do-able for every parent.
The Preschooler Problem Solver will be available on October 1, 2009. You can pre-order a copy or read more about it at Amazon.com
