This offers a decent look at positive discipline. It offers a lot of good theory and suggestions for reframing difficult situations for better understanding and communicating with your kids. The organization of the book is not good for quick reference. If you're in a "parenting dilemma" and need some quick advice for the moment, or age-specific advice, this is not the book to turn to. But if you read it front to back, there is good stuff to be gleaned.
