Why Do I Have To? - Softcover

Dr. Annye Rothenberg is a child/parent psychologist and mother with more than 25 years of experience helping families with children from birth to age 10 years dealing with typical child-rearing issues. Her experience doing home and school observations means her guidance and insight are specific and realistic in all of her two-part books for parents and their children.

Annye Rothenberg, Ph.D., is a San Francisco Bay Area child/parent psychologist with 25 years of experience and a specialist in child-rearing and child development. Her parenting psychology practice is in Redwood City, CA. She currently guides families with children up through age ten, and her advice is particularly realistic and practical because of her home and school observations. She frequently gives talks to groups of parents as well as teachers and pediatricians. She is, of course, a parent. Her first series of six books focuses on the most common child-rearing issues for preschoolers and their parents. Her new series is for elementary-school children as well as their parents. All of these books have an all-in-one format with a beautifully illustrated, realistic story for children and a comprehensive manual for parents. She is also an adjunct clinical assistant professor of pediatrics at Stanford University School of Medicine, teaching pediatric residents how to give advice to parents on child-rearing. Dr. Rothenberg spent many years developing and directing an award-winning parenting program in Palo Alto, CA, and has written several books for professionals, including Parentmaking, used throughout the U.S. and Canada for teaching parenting classes.
