Cookie Oakley, a licensed clinical social worker, knows all too well that many parents need help answering that question, and her "love and teach" philosophy that relies on laws of nature can help even first-time parents master the art of raising a child poised for success. In this guidebook to parenting, you'll learn how to: decide what type of parent you want to be; show your children how much you love them; teach your child life skills in an effective and loving manner; and discipline a child without inflicting harm.
