Thank you! October 3, 2008
I feel like a better parent and a better person. The strategies described in this book worked for my 4 year old twins. My husband has stopped spanking because he has watched me and now we count bad behavior together.

little too old for my 2 yr old September 29, 2008
good book for discipline but it is a little old for our 2 yr old. The issues are not ones that our young girl is ready for yet but it will help later.

This will change your family life September 28, 2008
This book was recommended to me by a child/family psychologist. It truly makes a difference. Parenting becomes simpler and less frustrating. If you read this book and put the principles to work...the change in your children will be remarkable. It is like bringing "Super Nanny" into your home...I actually bought this book to share with others!

THE book on disciplining your children September 15, 2008
My children are considered model children and it is all due to the strategies in this book. I was having big problems with my kids, and I was the biggest problem. This is a very simple method. The book goes through the issues of discipline, the method and disruption strategies and counters.

I have bought 5 copies to give to friends and relatives. I will probably buy more. They are universally grateful for the book, and the improvement with the relationship with their children and the improvement in their children's behavior is dramatic.

There is a Christian version available. I have not read it, but I think I will give my copy away and buy it to review it from a Catholic perspective.
