SOS Help for Parents

A Practical Guide for Handling Common Everyday Behavior Problems

  • Lynn Clark, PhD

  • Third edition
  • Book

Most parenting books argue for a philosophy. This one assumes you already have one and gets straight to method.

Lynn Clark, the psychologist behind SOS Help for Emotions, works through ordinary daily friction, defiance, whining, sibling conflict, the same argument at the same time every evening, and gives specific, teachable responses grounded in behavioural principles.

1

Define

State the behaviour in observable terms.

2

Respond

Apply one consistent method rather than several.

3

Hold

Keep the response stable long enough to work.

Why we recommend it

It is the rare parenting resource a school can recommend without endorsing a worldview. The methods are concrete, the writing is plain, and parents can act on it the same week.

Best for

Parent nights, counseling referrals, and any school lending library aimed at caregivers.
