Never-ending parental problem-solving and involvement can have the opposite effect, enabling fragility and anxiety over time. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eScaffold Parenting\u003c\/i\u003e, world-renowned child psychiatrist Harold Koplewicz introduces the powerful and clinically tested idea that this deliberate build-up and then gradual loosening of parental support is the single most effective way to encourage kids to climb higher, try new things, grow from mistakes, and develop character and strength. Explaining the building blocks of an effective scaffold from infancy through young adulthood, he expertly guides parents through the strategies for raising empowered, capable people, including: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e- Lay a solid foundation: \u003c\/b\u003e The parent-child relationship needs to be made from the concrete mixture of emotional availability, positive reinforcement, clear messaging, and consistent rules.

The person on the roof will have to \"talk down\" to you or yell. If your child's building and your scaffold are on the same level, you can speak directly, look each other in the eye, and keep the lines of communication open. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing on Dr. Koplewicz's decades of clinical and personal experience, \u003ci\u003eScaffold Parenting\u003c\/i\u003e is a compassionate, street-smart, and essential guide for the ages. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eAll of the author's proceeds from the sale of this book will be donated to the Child Mind Institute.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHarold S.
