...good parent? All the experts wryly advise that the easiest way is to have good parents. Also blessed are families battling for what Psychologist Muzafer Sherif calls "superordinate goals"-the kind of unifying struggle for existence that once cemented families of pioneers and immigrants. "Hostility gives way," reports Sherif, "when groups pull together to achieve overriding goals which are real and compelling for all concerned." In this sense, some impoverished Americans are luckier than affluent parents, who must use their wits to seek emotional unity...

Like the Supreme Court, however, good parents draw a sharp line between free speech and illegal conduct. Author-Psychologist Haim G. Ginott, author of the currently much-discussed Between Parent and Child, argues that "most discipline problems consist of two parts: angry feelings and angry acts. Each part has to be handled differently. Feelings have to be identified and expressed; acts may have to be limited and redirected." How and when to set limits depends partly on the child's age. Nothing makes a small child more anxious than being asked if he "wants" to do this or that...
