Discipline Without Shouting or Spanking: Practical Solutions to the Most Common Preschool Behavior Problems

Your toddler is acting up, you've put him into time out (mainly for you yourself to think what to do next) and now you have two or three minutes to figure out how to go about forming your child's behavior into something that will make your home liveable and your child a good citizen eventually. What do you do? You reach for this book! When the time out is over, you will have read the section on the relevant incident and have a plan of action. The thing I like best about it is that each section is super short and all the ideas work very well.It has very good suggestions for difficult problems that no one else tells you about. For example, your daughter has been potty trained for a long time, but now she is wetting herself rather than stopping play to use the toilet. What do you do? I followed the suggestion in this book only three days and the new wetting habit was gone.Every single technique I tried from this book worked.I have been a teacher for 25 years and a kindergarten teacher for 10 years. Now that my girls are 13 and 15, I still use the suggestions in this book with children in my classes. (To tell you the truth, I still use some of them with my big teenage girls!--"When your room is clean we will go for a bike ride.") It's a wonderful book.I give this book as a gift whenever I go to a baby shower. I am on line today buying one for my kids' youth pastor, who is pregnant. My children were born 22 months apart and the first one was very difficult (extremely bright, sensory integration disorder, auditory processing disorder, very independent and tenacious). I read at least a dozen discipline books trying to find something that worked for my child, and Discipline Without Shouting or Spanking was best when she was little (How to Talk so Children will Listen and Listen so Children will Talk is my post-toddler favorite.)Discipline Without Shouting or Spanking saved my sanity and I hope it will save yours!

I wish I bought this book sooner!!! It works!

Do yourself a favor and your children and families... You will have less guilt, your children will be so happy, confident and whole and your parents, the children's grandparents won't have to pray as much and hold their breath or constantly think of ways to get a message to you without alienating you..... Honestly...great information ... I wish I had this when I was raising my children...I was so busy, I did things like everyone else...automatically and never thought things out as far as the repercussions or consequences of MY behavior! I learned from how my parents raised us so some things were stuck there and others I consciously said.... I don't want to do that, etc yet I didn't have the end result of how it shapes my children..... this book is so vital for parents to read and to understand and to implement with a positive happy personality... Love those babies and children as they came to you as a gift!!! They are precious!! ( I think I did okay and was certainly there for my children yet I could've been so much more knowledgeable and calm!) A must read!!!

I like and recommend this book. But use your judgement to make it age appropriate. My wife never wanted to spank our child while I was okay with occasional spanking. I never wanted to shout but my wife was okay at shouting. This book gave us both a common and a higher ground. It's well thought out and a well written book. The reason I gave it a 4 star is because I found one idea questionable, it was related to making the child repeat a bad phrase and wear out the word theory. Other than that one I found this book very good.

if you already know all the research (physical "punishment" leads to increased aggression and lowered self-esteem, reinforcement of desired behaviors is most effective) then this is merely confirmation for you. it tells you what you already know; be consistent, reward good behaviors whenever they occur, remain calm, provide pre-corrections.

I don't like the product because it wasn't what I expected when I got the book.I was just expecting something different than it was.I don't want to spank or yell at my child and I won't but also some of the things it said I felt was just letting your child run you and that isn't right. Children not getting the discipline they need is some of the problem with our world today. The Bible even speaks in Proverbs of disciplining your child not letting your child run you.I do believe there are right ways to discipline without yelling or spanking but I don't believe I found what I was looking for in this book.However some other people might really find it to be what they need.

Great book about how to deal with your kids. Very good advise. Every Parent should get one and read it when the kids are still babies so you know what to do and avoid a lot of mistakes.

It tells you how to avoid the problem and how to redirect the problem but dont tell you how to handle the situation if the child still throws fits. I end up losing it and back to shouting because it is all he listens too. (Being tested for ADHD /ADD) this book was not worth it to me.

fantastic, short and simple and helps you handle the most difficult situations right away

necessary

This book is a horrible waste of resources and not worth the time it takes to flip through it. I just wrote a huge honest review and it didn't post. I 300% DO NOT recommend this book to anybody!If your looking for a helpful parenting book I strongly recommend this one I linked (how to read your child like a book). Doesn't affect me any what you do, this is just my recommendation based on personal experienceHttp://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/0671521241/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1420384767&sr=8-1&dpPl=1&dpID=51FNFY5FYGL&ref=plSrch&pi=SY200_QL40

Si buscas crianza respetuosa, busca otro libro. No es malo pero la info es más para papás con filosofía diferente a la respetuosa. También, aunque no seas de filosofía de crianza respetuosa pero ya has leído más sobre niños y comportamiento, notarás que no tiene puntos nuevos.

As far as the service is concerned the book arrived in a reasonable time and wasn't expensive. As far as the books content goes I'm not so sure about the techniques used. Each child is different and so may work on some but not all children. Only time will tell.
