Product Description

Review
This is a splendid guide to positive parenting without parental martyrdom - both child-friendly and parent-empathetic. The author, a school psychologist and parent training expert from Arizona, dispenses remarkably practical advice based on sound understanding of how children operate. Here's how to get children to listen, help, behave and progress, all within a loving and harmonious atmosphere. It contains excellent advice for new parents planning ahead, and even more vital tips if you're already on the so common downward spiral of child-parent interactions: whining and yelling, unco-operativeness and inconsistency. Here's how to plan, be consistent, focus on positives and 'never give away the ice cream'. Recommended. (Kirkus UK)

Product Description

3.0 out of 5 stars Some good advice, some questionable, 9 Sep 2001
By Derrick (Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
This book is well organised, concise, and easy to read. Many different parenting techniques are explained with the emphasis on consistency. There is little direction in prioritising problem behaviours and which techniques to apply. This could lead to a parent being inconsistent trying different approaches for behaviours which are only symptoms of other problems. Also I found there was way too much emphasis on punishment and rewards for correcting misbehaviour. Time-outs are explained in length and great detail but they are described as a punishment. The author suggests delayed time-outs at a more convenient time which defeat the purpose of a time-out. No wonder so many people say time-outs don't work. The book "Setting Limits" explains how to use effective time-outs which are non-punitive. I disagreed with the use of excessive praise and rewards to elicit cooperation and to increase self esteem. The book "The Manipulative Child" is very authorative on how to establish healthy self esteem. There was a good chapter on spanking and why it is not recommended or necessary for effective discipline. Overall though there was much good information which a parent can use. I still prefer the book "Ain't Misbehavin" by William P Garvey as a basic parenting and discipline book.
