Can learning about experimental psychology make you a better parent? Almost certainly.
Go beyond the anecdotal advice and aggregate statistics offered by numerous "experts" and fellow parents and discover how the science of behavior can answer questions that you should be asking, such as, "What is the biological function of the behavior being exhibited?" (For example, why do children like to spin around in chairs? The answer lies in the requirements for developing a capable vestibular system.)
Learn to develop behavioral modification plans that specifically address underlying biological causes for maladaptive behavior and track your results with precision.
Optimize the experience of growing up for your child, while limiting maladaptive behavior and promoting peaceful harmony in the home that requires progressively less maintenance. Learn to proactively manage incentives, rather than reacting to problems. Take charge of your home in a firm, but informed and sensitive manner.
Oh, and have fun doing it!
