About this title

From the Author

SOS Author's Comments
As a clinical psychologist I wrote SOS Help For Parents to help parents to help children (2 to 12) to grow out of behavior problems. Over 20 practical methods for helping children are described. SOS is internationally used and recommended by both parents and counselors. Over 200,000 copies have been sold and SOS is available in Turkish, Taiwan Chinese, Mainland Chinese (translated at Univ. of Beijing), Korean, Hungarian, and English. Positive reviews are found in USA Today, various professional journals, and parents publications. Hundreds of hospitals and clinics for children use SOS including Mayo Clinic, Johns Hopkins University, etc. In writing SOS I focused on how to achieve behavior change. Two amazon.com reviewers stated that they don't like behavioral psychology and token rewards to change behavior. SOS devotes only two pages to token rewards. Used correctly and as only one part of a behavior change program, tokens can be effective in initiating positive changes in four and five year olds. SOS is the most complete description of time-out available. From working with parents, I describe nine common time-out mistakes parents make and how parents can avoid them. Parents Press, the Publisher of SOS Help For Parents, offers money back to any parent who doesn't find SOS useful in improving his or her child's behavior.
