A child’s compliance to simple parental commands is one of the most important skills to develop.

Isn’t life more harmonious when children put their back packs up without constant reminding? What about living with children who fail to respond to your requests, time and time again? Is a child’s failure to comply a satisfying state of affairs? Which family would you like to be “parent for a week”: Ozzie & Harriet Nelson’s family or the Simpson’s? While you may laugh more at Bart, you certainly hope he is your neighbor’s child, and not yours.

This manual provides the reader with a six-week parenting program to deal with child compliance. Each week, the reading teaches a new set of skills to use in compliance situations with your child. The following sequence is presented in terms of developing a parental compliance repertoire for dealing with compliance situations.

Week 1: Set the stage for child compliance
Week 2: Know the difference between a clear and an unclear command
Week 3-4: Learn to use praise, time limits and “Sit & Decide”
Week 5: How’s it going?
Week 6: The non-compliance jar

This six-week program is highly suited for parents of young children, at preschool and early elementary ages (results are not guaranteed). Using an incremental approach to developing skills, the reader will be able to see how each new skill influences the compliance situation. Data forms and other requisite material are embedded in the manual. In some cases, parents may be able to effectively deploy these procedures without any outside consultation. You will be informed and entertained by this brief, concise, yet vauluable manual for parents of young children.
