Among the many fine resources available from the Cambridge Center for Behavioral Studies, one is a free service for parents about parenting by Roger McIntire. Many parents, whether they are concerned about the behavior or a child with emotional and behavioral disorders or a child who doesn’t have such problems, seek advice about how to handle difficulties. Professor McIntire, author of Teenagers and Parents: 10 Steps to a Better Relationship, Raising Good Kids in Tough Times: 7 Crucial Habits for Parent Success (Amazon link), and College Keys: Getting In, Doing Well, and Avoiding the 4 Big Mistakes (Amazon link), appropriately avoids offering closely personalized consultation, but he does provide explicit and sensible advice about the general problems submitted for his review. And his recommendations are predicated on sound theory and solid evidence.
