From the Author
As a mother and a psychologist, I know that one of the best strategies for handling misbehavior is to teach kids positive ways to ask for what they need. When my son was a frisky four-year old, he got into trouble too often for hitting his sisters. So, I made him a little booklet out of index cards, with simple drawings showing positive ways to get my attention. He loved it and eagerly used all the strategies. This booklet, which definitely enhanced the peace in our home, became the basis for "What About Me?"
