Shapiro, Ph.D., combines cutting-edge research on childhood development with more than twenty years of clinical experience to offer parents an accessible, practical guide to helping children master the social and emotional abilities that will allow them to be happy and well adjusted."--BOOK JACKET. "Focusing on the ways to teach children these skills, Dr. Shapiro offers dozens of fun and easy games and activities that will help your child learn to solve problems, cooperate with others, and increase self-confidence. A checklist lets parents rate themselves on how well they currently promote their child's EQ, and a list of dos and don'ts of child rearing offers general guidance for raising emotionally healthy children."--BOOK JACKET. "Parents need not feel helpless in trying to prepare their children for the inevitable problems and pains of growing up - the shy child can learn how to make friends, the angry child can discover how to resolve conflicts reasonably, and all children can learn to use strategies for coping with physical pain and psychological stress."--BOOK JACKET.
