This book teaches frustrated, stressed-out parents that selectively ignoring certain behaviors can actually inspire positive changes in their kids.

With all the whining, complaining, begging, and negotiating, parenting can seem more like a chore than a pleasure. Dr. Catherine Pearlman, syndicated columnist and one of America's leading parenting experts, has a simple yet revolutionary solution- Ignore It!

Dr. Pearlman's four-step processreturns the joy to child rearing. Combining highly effective strategieswith time-tested approaches, she teaches parents when to selectively look the other way to withdraw reinforcement for undesirable behaviors.

When children receive no attention or reward for misbehavior, they realize their ways of acting are ineffective and cease doing it.

Using proven strategies supported by research, this book shows parents how to-

- Avoid engaging in a power struggle

- Stop using attention as a reward for misbehavior

- Use effective behavior modification techniques to diminish and often eliminate problem behaviors
