It offers easy-to-follow games as the basis for dealing with parenting issues: adjustments, early socialization, routines, toilet training, nursery school, discipline, self-esteem, creativity, children's rights and responsibilities, sibling rivalry, parents' and grandparents' roles, and Lemon-Aid (turning problems into successes).
