This text, appropriate for guidance courses, provides practical child guidance strategies based on a solid foundation of child development research and family studies. Using a three-part approach, the author provides excellent coverage of the issues that are influencing child guidance today. Part I discusses three styles of caregiving, positive discipline strategies and how to manage a child's environment, and child development. Part II applies practical, constructive child guidance strategies designed to help children deal with stress, self-esteem, anger management, aggression, and prosocial behavior. Part III describes a variety of theories of child guidance and advocates an eclectic decision-making model to choosing positive discipline strategies and encourages problem solving using real-life examples. As the most established child guidance text, the latest updates and revisions make it even more valuable to those who work with children.

“The text uses more of the specific strategies that are applicable when working daily with children. The information is accurate and speaks to children’s needs. It is important for adults to understand the children’s point of view: stressors, temperaments, type of caregiving under which children have been raised. This viewpoint is unique among texts. Most texts present material, concepts, strategies, etc. to “feed the students,” whereas M. Marion presents material with the child’s needs in mind. For once we have an author that practices DAP!”
