Raising Happy Children

Raising Happy Children: "A while back, I was having trouble with my son. Try as hard as I might, I couldn't get him to feel excited about school. He wanted to stay home with me and nothing else would do. It was a most dramatic event when I dropped him off at school each day. I tried a reward system, reasoning, consequences, and anything else that seemed halfway reasonable. After about two months of unsuccessful negotiation with my son, and many sad days at school, I wearily pulled my son's teacher aside and asked for some help."
