Book on raising competent and independent children

Parents are tired and frustrated by current methods of discipline and punishment offered in books and media today. Parents understand that they are living in “The Discipline Trap,” believing that discipline is something we do to our children rather than something we teach them.

The Family Coach Method: Raising Good, Kind, Ethical Kids in a Complicated World (St. Lynn’s Press, Sept 2009) offers a New Culture of Discipline for families - Helping parents get out of damage control and into skillful living.

Dr. Kenney believes that parents can become their own Family Coaches, with the step-by-step guidance of The Method, which she developed during her twenty-plus years in pediatrics. This book is the streamlined, portable version of her highly regarded clinical work.

“Simply having compliant children is not enough for many parents today. Dr. Lynne Kenney provides a blueprint for raising competent, accountable and independent children – all this while having a great deal of fun! This approach sparkles!”

—Raun Melmed, MD
developmental and behavioral pediatrician,
co-author of Succeeding with Difficult Children

The Family Coach Method is an illustrated how-to manual of strategies, tips and real-life stories, structured for quick reference. Its approach is ‘rug-level,’ friendly and centered on the concept of families as a winning team.

“For parents who are sick of yelling, nagging and arguing with their kids, The Family Coach Method will change your world! A must have for every frustrated mom’s bookshelf, if you employ her techniques your family life will most surely improve!”

-- Michelle LaRowe author of Nanny To The
Rescue and A Mom's Ultimate Book of Lists
