Positive Parenting: A Practical and Sometimes Humorous Approach to Applying the Research in Your Home with Gender Inclusivity, Mutual Respect, and Empathy - And No Spanking!

We all want to be good people and good parents to our children. This is why I created my website, DrJohnRich.com, and why I wrote this book bundle (Positive Parenting, Practical Parenting, and How Did You Get Him To Eat That). My name is Dr. John D Rich, Jr. I am an educational psychologist and an associate professor of Psychology at Delaware State University, with expertise in effective parenting and teaching. I also have a lot of life experience to go along with my academic knowledge. My goal is to help you incorporate effective parenting and teaching practices with your children.I was moved to write because I want to share what I know about my own life as an educator and a parent of two great boys, as well to share all of the high-quality research out there about effective parenting and education, using language and stories that would be accessible to a wide audience.Most parents desire to raise well-behaved, successful children, and most educators desire to positively impact the students in their care. I am convinced that the effort you invest to understand and apply what we academics know about effective parenting can create exciting benefits for you and your children. It is my hope that this book bundle will be a resource for parents and educators to learn and discuss best practices that will help us all positively influence the next generation.
