Att vara förälder är förmodligen det svåraste arbete en vuxen kan åta sig, men också det arbete vi får minst utbildning och förberedelse för. De otroliga åren presenterar en metod genom vilken föräldrar kan minska barnens beteendeproblem. Den omfattar många situationer. Hur du kan ta kontroll över din egen ilska och frustration. Hur du tar hand om beteendeproblem som trots, ilska, ljugande, för mycket TV-tittande, sängvätning och snatteri. Hur du leker med ditt barn. Hur du använder beröm och belöningar för att uppmuntra gott beteende. Hur du kommunicerar effektivt med ditt barn. De otroliga åren har fått stor internationell uppmärksamhet och ligger till grund för mängder av studiecirklar och föräldrautbildningar. I Sverige används den inom BUP:s föräldrautbildningar och rekommenderas av Statens Folkhälsoinstitut. Dr Carolyn Webster leder en föräldraklinik i USA och är professor vid University of Washington.
