Raising Good Kids in Tough Times

Dr. Roger McIntire

Welcome to the "Raising Good Kids in Tough Times" section of the Cambridge Center for Behavioral Studies. This section is dedicated to brief articles concerning common childrearing problems. Family circumstances from baby basics to school skills and teenager dating, the articles in this space will discuss the practical application of behavioral analysis to parental strategies. Additional resources as well as practical advice for everyday challenges are presented regularly. Your comments and requests are an important part of keeping the presentations on target and relevant to your parenting. The best promise for a child's happiness is a knowledgeable parent who enjoys the children and is content with the job.

Dr. Roger McIntire, father of three, taught child psychology and principles of family therapy at the University of Maryland for 32 years. Now Professor Emeritus, he is a popular speaker and columnist and a frequent guest on radio and TV talk shows.
