 Great to have on hand
I have adapted some of this for my own style and own chlid, but I am very pleased with the book overall. I refer to it every now and again when I need a refresher or need to change up my approach a bit because of my son's changing age and needs. I feel this book is a great base to work with. It was receommended to me by one of the best daycare/preschool teachers I know and I have receommended it to many people myself.

 It Works! ( shughes129 )
My son's preschool teacher told me about this book last year and I was skeptical about buying it...well after attempting several things on my own, I figured why not give it a try. I listened to about 30 minutes of this cd and was able to get the understanding of the method down enough to implement it over the weekend. Well, I was amazed at how my kids reacted to this. They understood it right off the back and I am totally amazed. Sometimes, I don't even have to count to "2", once I say "that's 1" and hold up my finger they get it together. I can't wait to really get into the rest of the cd...this is very good. I have two boys ages 5 and 7 years old....so i feel if its works for me it can work for you :)) -

Should have purchased this the day my first child was born!
This program for behavior management simplifies and clarifies strategies for dealing with behavioral issues that EVERY child will demonstrate from time to time. It's hilarious, logical, and when I finished it, I didn't feel so alone in addressing my child's behavioral problems.

 BAD! ( andreinacondo )
Very dissapointed with this book! I didn't like it! maybe because i don't agree with the technique they use to discipline the kids!

Excellent Book
This must be be best parenting book ever written. It's the only one I've read that seems to cover every situation like when you're in the car, what happens when you are out shopping, etc.
