Hi, my name is Dr. Annye Rothenberg. I have been a licensed parent and child psychologist for over 25 years. I specialize in helping parents with challenging problems that commonly occur as kids grow up. In order to help more people, I have been writing a series of all-in-one books -- the first three are now available -- that have a story for children and a manual for parents that show how to work through these child rearing issues. What I describe in my books are time-proven methods that I have used in successfully helping over 2,000 families with young children. Included for you on this web site are many articles on everyday child rearing dilemmas. I invite you to enjoy this site.

 


In addition to the the published books, Dr. Annye Rothenberg has written a series of articles to help parents on a number of common parenting concerns. Please click on the titles shown to see the full article.

The third book in the series, I Like To Eat Treats, excites and educates 3 to 6 year olds about healthy foods effectively impacting their understanding of nutrition in ways they'll remember.

“The content of this book is wonderful! This is one book that all parents of young children should read to their children, with the perfect take-home message for both. It’s the best of both worlds – an entertaining book for children that successfully introduces them to healthy eating and an informed guide for parents that points out the challenges that food issues can create. The book walks parents through solutions that are easy to apply and will get them securely on the right track. A great resource for health-minded parents and educators.”
