I should have read this book sooner, but I'm glad I did now!

With small paragraphs, it is easier to understand. There are a lot of examples of what to do (and not do) in every situation, and it is incredibly helpful. I already am applying some new ones and it's working really well (I'm the first impressed at how well and how fast my daughter's mood is improving, and how good she's becoming to learn to control her emotions).

Really needed this book in my life right now. Thank you!!

The assumption of this book seems to be that most parents are inconsistent and harsh with their children; a sad indictment of Western society. The authors advise staying calm, and addressing issues directly, explaining why corporal punishment and yelling are counter-productive.

I didn’t find anything new in this book; indeed, I found the emphasis on ‘rules’ (albeit flexible) to be a bit coercive, and I thought it a pity that the book did not define the distinction between punishment (revenge), discipline (teaching) and consequences (the natural or logical result of some action).

Nevertheless, there is some sound advice about ways of relating to children and engaging with them - I just hope this will be read by some who genuinely wish to try a more constructive form of parenting.

While the free edition of this book is not very long, it’s nicely presented and edited in such a way that it feels complete in itself - it's not just a few pages, but contains about a third of the full text. I would recommend it in a low-key way to any parents feeling caught up in an angry battle with their children; if useful, it might be worth getting hold of the full edition.

Three and a half stars would be fairer.

Not very helpful. Not much new. I did only have part of the book since it was free, but I feel like even what I read was a waste of time.

Very intriguing book so far

this doctor provides a strategic way to punish a child without fear, but logic. she seems to know what she's talking about.

Practical

Good read with practical advice. The examples at the end of each chapter help drive home the points layed out. I recommend for anyone with small children.

i loved how brief and straight to the point the book was. it talks mainly about the common problems parents face with their kids and how to deal with it, clarifying the solution with an example.
