THE HEART OF PARENTING

Helping a child attain emotional maturity is a skill that many parents may need to develop. Gottman enhances his discussion of parenting techniques with an enlivened, positive attitude. His clear, strong voice provides a steady, evenly paced narrative. Occasionally, he dramatizes dialogue between an adult and a child. These exchanges are often emotional, and Gottman portrays each part realistically. Musical interludes mark the beginnings and endings of tapes and sections. A booklet accompanies the set.
