Summary: Every parent should have this book!
Review: This book is a "must have" for parents with children of all ages. In it, Elizabeth Pantley explains clearly how to avoid many common discipline problems and bring harmony to the home, in a way that is kind and respectful to children. The reminder pages at the end of each chapter are particularly helpful. I wish I had found this book years ago!!

Summary: Helpful in the Classroom too!
Review: I do not have children (of my own), but I am a teacher. This book was not only helpful for me in the classroom, but it was a useful tool for me to understand the descions that I made in classroom discipline! (Another must have is any positive discipline book!)The into begins with a quiz. I tested everyone I knew! At the end you tally up your results and presto, you have got your current parenting problems in a paragraph. Read-on! The book is filled with senerios that are SOOO very true, and on-going, finally someone understands me :-) there are usually 3 senerios, one of the Bad decision maker, then the correct decsion maker, then usually the example (Desicion maker I mean by the parent) This book is so useful, I don't want to give all the details! Enjoy! And pass it on!

Summary: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW--CONDENSED
Review: I've read and listened to a lot of good advice on parenting, but this book condenses most all of it and more. It is unbelievably well written and organized. I read a library copy and had to come buy it for myself. It's that good.

Summary: Best Parenting Book I've Read
Review: This book is the most practical book on parenting that I have ever read! It gives you specific parenting skills which can be developed to deal with certain behaviors. The book explains "why" our kids act the way they do. The end of each chapter is summarized on a page that can be copied and posted for a reminder of the skills you're developing. The book is full of great information . . . I highly recommend not only this book, but also "Perfect Parenting", which is also written by Elizabeth Pantley.

Summary: This stuff really helps!
Review: I am helping with a family where the mother died unexpectedly. The children are young and more than a handful for their grief-ridden father. Having no kids yet myself, I feel I lack patience and understanding not only for the sorrow they may be experiencing, but for the sheer fact that they are still CHILDREN! Thanks for your help, it was a real God-send.

Summary: The next book a parent should read after Dr. Spock.
Review: Being the mother of twin 4 year old boys, this book has helped me regain my sanity while at the same time raise "two very well behaved young boys" as people tell me. I watched the video first, decided I needed the book for a quick reference guide and now I have the audio tape to listen to in the car. Ms. Pantley gives you step by step guides that are easy to understand and follow. She helps you see how other discipline routines do not work and WHY. Then she walks you through her suggestions and repeats them at the end of every chapter. I am forever refering to this wonderful book and look forward to reading her next!!

Summary: Incredibly real and practical guide to solving problems
Review: As a elementary school teacher of 9 years, I have read countless books on discipline and child rearing. This book took me by complete surprise. Some of the scenarios in the book made me feel like they had been listening to me and my children. The realism and practicality of the book were very helpful. I have been talking about this book since I got it. All the books I've read in the past, always give the problem, and then, the solution is so unbelievably out of touch or so vague I end up just as frustrated as when I originally consulted the book. This book is just the contrary to that. It is really outstanding. I plan to raffle it off at my next back to school night.

Summary: Great ideas that work
Review: This book is great! While reading it, I could see my family in some of the stories. The first day after I read the book I tried several of the suggested ideas and was amazed that my son actually listened and did as I asked without me nagging or yelling. I would recommend this book to anyone with children.

Summary: Excellent Book!
Review: I really liked the book and all the ideas it gives you. It is nice to know that others are going through or have gone through the same problems and situations. I have had some luck with some techniques but not with others. The only thing I have to disagree on is when children refuse to get dressed in the morning, you suggest we put them to bed in the clothes they will wear the next day. I disagree, clothes (like pajamas) are NOT flame retardant, and god forbid there was a fire...well you get the idea. Other than that...It was great and I would recommend it to all parents, parents to be, grandparents, nannies, day care providers, etc...
