There's Got To Be A Better Way: Discipline That Works!

Great parent resource.

This is a very thorough approach to understanding the mindset of discipline as TEACHING, not punishment. I found it very helpful. And a lot of the skills she talks about are applicable to dealing with adults, too!One of them is "Positive Intent" - basically assuming the best about something we cannot know. So when a driver cuts me off in traffic I assume, "they must have a sick child at school," or something similar, and just as noble, and that is why they cut me off - not just because they are impatient and mean. Since I will probably never know the truth, it really does not matter what I think, but thinking something positive makes ME feel better about it! Brilliant! :) (The same goes for disciplining your children - always assume they are innocently trying to figure things out, not just trying to be mean or "push your buttons.")It is a long book, though, so be prepared to wade through it (not overly long, but not a short read by any means). And it will make you think. But if you stick with it. I think you will be convinced and finish it with some skills to assist in your discipline efforts, if nothing else.

Great book for parents and teachers. Provides sound advice on how to handle difficulties with young children at home and in the classroom.

Decent price for the book!

It is in great shape and came fast. We use it to help parents with discipline issues.

Needed this book to teach a class. Received in great shape.

A must read for any parent or teacher. Really helps you to say the right thing to encourage children.

A very helpful guide!
