*Condition Note: Book is very clean and gently used with precious little cover wear.*

"I should have known child rearing wasn't going to be easy when it started with something called labor!" You may laugh at that, but discipline is the Number One concern of parents. Irresistible Kay Kuzma says that just coping isn't enough; parenting should be fun and rewarding. She wants to help you create an environment that will maximize each person's individual potential.

This valuable resource is not a "how-to" book in the usual sense. Instead, it's a success "storybook" of parents who have discovered disciplinary strategies that work. Each story here is a treasure given to Kay by moms and dads, grandparents, aunts and uncles, and friends who have experienced the joy of helping children in the way they should go.

Here is a collection of stories that will give you a fresh look at the challenging career of parenting. You will have new insight, enthusiasm and creativity for God's precious gift--the gift of a child.
