Summary:

"When a child is struggling with a behavior challenge or wants to learn a new skill, a contract can be a surprisingly effective solution that leads to more peaceful family dynamics. To help families create contracts as a collaborative process, Let's Make a Contract offers an innovative combination of how-to text for parents and illustrated stories for children. For parents, Let's Make a Contract describes a straightforward, four-step solution called behavioral contracting, a research-based technique with proven real-world success."-- Provided by publisher.
