A. StamfordBeing a good parent involves knowing how to provide the correct kind of discipline. Unfortunately, most books on the subject merely supply situation-specific quick fixes, failing to provide an overarching philosophy that will see parents through any situation. Written for parents of children aged 1 to 5 years, "The Discipline Miracle" presents a comprehensive approach to discipline that allows parents to provide their children with a true sense of security while imposing healthy limits-in short, everything they need to raise happy, well-adjusted kids.Item Children of Islam: concepts of childhood in medieval Muslim society(Palgrave Macmillan, 1992) Avner Gil‘adi"Children of Islam: Concepts of Childhood in Medieval Muslim Society" explores the perceptions and roles of children within the context of medieval Muslim society.
