Synopsis

Dr. Christophersen takes the commonsense approach that children are little people but still people. How well children are prepared for life and how much they will enjoy life has a lot to do with how they are raised. "Catch 'em Being Good" is one of Dr. Christophersen's favorite pieces of advice. The entire book, Little People, is built around guidelines that will help you to encourage your child's positive behavior. The book discusses the importance of touching to support a child's emotional development and self-esteem. Dr. Christophersen's advice also comforts parents by discussing what is normal and acceptable behavior. Dr. Christophersen emphasizes the importance of "time-in" with children. Only with enriched time-in, is "time-out" even possible.

About this title

Now in it's Fourth Edition (and 10th Printing), Little People has been a very popular book on parenting. Written by a well known clinical psychologist, Little People is often recommended by pediatricians and family physicians. The Written Handouts of Dr. Christophersen's recommendations, that are printed in the last Section of the book such that they can be photocopied or removed from the book, have been a very popular feature of all of his books.

From the Author:

Little did I know when I wrote the original edition of Little People, that was published in 1977, that I would be coming out with a 4th Edition in 1998. The popularity of Little People has given me a tremendous sense of pride. It's great to know that I've been able to help so many parents and their children.
