STEP right up

This is the book used with STEP training, the 7-week parenting course. Where I live, this class is offered through the YWCA, and our school gives a modified version of STEP to all incoming parents.
Every day at our school we use the conflict-resolution model described in this book. I can think of two reasons it's so effective. First, it's very respectful of children, encouraging them to speak up and have their concerns heard. Second, the process takes so long that they soon learn to streamline it to resolve their issues without adult help. They usually come up with ways to solve problems that are okay with everyone.
We use the principles in this book at home, too.

but it has good solid, research based advice for parents

I know it looks so dated and cheesy by the cover, but it has good solid, research based advice for parents. I highly recommend it.
