Until what time is it acceptable for a ten-year-old child to stay up at night? What is the "right" allowance for each age? Should you let your child watch four hours of television a day?

The little "Guide to Parenting" by Gerald Drews provides practical advice and directions for these and other contentious issues that cause family arguments and disagreements between parents and children - and, most importantly, arguments that parents can use in discussions with their children.

The author presents, in a concise and vivid manner, the "normal" (usual) values, rules, and statistics for the most important areas of topics: Free time, money, entertainment, children's rooms, help with household chores, friends, and communication with others.
