“This publication is a revision and adaptation of Foster Parent Training; A Manual for Parents, published by The Pennsylvania State University, Center for Human Services Development, which I prepared as part of The Foster Parent Training Project.” Louise Guerney

“The five skills for parenting which you will read in this book form a system for dealing with children. This is important to remember as you become acquainted with each skill. Each skill must be learned separately in order to best master it, but no single skill is considered enough for all situations.” Louise Guerney
