This guide offers parents fresh perspectives and simple skills to encourage good behavior in children and reduce stress for the entire family. Emphasizing personal choice, free will, and dispassionate parent-child interactions, Dr. William H. Hughes's step-by-step approach has been developed, tested, and proven to work time and again by child psychiatrists. Dr. Hughes demonstrates how parents must allow their children to decide for themselves whether they will cooperate and how they will act. Effective parenting builds character and increases self-confidence. Here, kids learn that they can choose to behave--and be rewarded for it. Dr. Hughes recommends that parents: - Set expectations. Make clear what the expected behavior is, whether it's doing homework or taking out the trash. - Monitor behavior. Keep an eye on what children are supposed to be doing, but let them decide for themselves whether they will complete the task. - Reward. Verbally praise good behavior and offer kids a reward. Let them play video games for an hour or invite a friend to a sleepover. Many parents are convinced that reward systems simply do not work. Dr. Hughes explains why his approach gets the desired results while other approaches do not. By not engaging in power struggles and giving rewards only when expectations have been met, parents teach their kids that in choosing good behavior they are choosing rewards--and rewards "will" motivate kids to act better. Dr. Hughes also outlines a clear strategy for dealing with kids who just won't take no for an answer. The book encourages parents to modify their "own" behavior, teaching them to shift their focus away from battling with their kids and to use their energy to help their children develop winning habits and attitudes for life.

information about Tourette syndrome, "A Family's Guide to Tourette
Syndrome" speaks to patients, families, care providers, academic

about this neurodevelopmental disorder that affects children,
adolescents, and adults worldwide. Each chapter is authored by

others with expertise and research interests in Tourette
syndrome. "I am delighted to see the breadth and wealth of valuable clinical and scientific findings that have been gathered together in this comprehensive resource for families. The information provided in this book is testimony to the talent, abiding intellectual curiosity, and dedication to compassionate care and sheer persistence of each of the professionals who have contributed chapters. Their common goal was clear and selfless-to uncover sound medical and scientific data that could provide much needed answers to the baffling complexities of Tourette syndrome.

If your child has Tourette Syndrome (TS), or any other chronic
motor or vocal tic disorder, you know how important it is to get
the best treatment available. Behavior therapy, as described in
this workbook, is a treatment for tic disorders that is
scientifically proven to help sufferers of TS manage their
symptoms. . All programs have been rigorously tested in clinical trials
and are backed by years of research
Grounded in a comprehensive model of Tourette Syndrome (TS) and related disorders, this state-of-the-art volume provides a multidisciplinary framework for assessment and treatment. Leading authorities present the latest knowledge on the neurobehavioral underpinnings of TS, its clinical presentation, and how to distinguish it from frequently encountered co-occurring disorders, such as obsessive-compulsive disorder and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Strategies for managing symptoms and providing effective support to children and families are thoroughly detailed, with an emphasis on integrating medication and psychosocial therapies. Several chapters also address clinical work with adults with TS. User friendly and practical, the book includes three reproducible assessment tools.
