Child Maintenance is the art, and the loving work, of keeping a child in optimum physical and mental health. The goal of Child Maintenance is to nurture happy, resilient children: kids who are able to play, to appreciate Nature, to create, to love life, and to love learning.
Written for parents, grandparents, teachers, counselors, psychologists — and everyone who works with children — this book offers a lively blend of sound ideas and practical advice.

◎ Find responses to misbehavior that are caring & calm.

◎ Prevent misbehavior by encouraging active play, and nourishing the child’s creativity.
◎ Transform problems into opportunities that teach the child the essential skills of resilience and self-reliance.
