Selected Reading Questionnaire. These are great books. Though I don't agree with absolutely everything that the authors recommend and some of the language is very warm and fuzzy, it is a great book to read. The book talks about important child psychology information that many parents may not know about child's temperment and is always a good reminder that children should be treated with respect and kindness and that discipline is meant to teach the child not to punish. I checked out all the different versions of the book and quickly found that there is not much point to reading all versions since there is quite a bit of overlap. These are great books.

Some excellent advice, but at times it is just all a bit too lovey dovey. By this edition, there is basically no discipline involved at all, and even logical consequences are out the window. The best info here IMO is the insistence that the parents must in all cases keep control of their emotions and not escalate conflicts. Once this happens, all bets are off and the child is in control. no reviews | add a review
