Summary: Time Out For Toddlers
Review: A good practical guide that takes the emotion out of discipline and gave me a sense of direction.

Summary: A discipline without yelling and spanking
Review: I live in overseas and the only method I have been told to discipline the youngsters is to spank or yell at them. I bought this book when my little one just around two years old. I find this book is very useful and the instruction is very clear. My son used to refuse to eat any kinds of vegetable except brocoli but after I used time-out twice, this problem never appear again. Time-out may not be able to discipline every misbehavior but at least it can help both parent and child calming down for several minutes. I find it useful not just for correcting children's mishaviors but also an alternative for parents without yelling and spanking.

Summary: If you follow this book's advice- you're time outs work!!
Review: I read this book 3 years ago when my now 6 year old was 3 and I also had a toddler. Now, with four boys 6 and under, I'm still following this book's advice. I'm constantly getting comments from people about how well behaved my boys are. They are shocked to find out that I use time outs and rarely spank or raise my voice. Others who pan this book for overanalyzing the time out are not disciplined enough themselves to apply excellent discipline techniques to discipline their own kids!

Rating:
Summary: Horrid Book
Review: I was very disappointed by this book. It offered confusing explanations of on obiously simple technique that can be explained in a page. The author was self-congradulatory on coming-up with "feel-good" solutions to discipine problems. I would most stongly urge interested parents to get the book entitled "Dare to Discipline" if they want solid advice that is well written.

Summary: Worst written and most trite material I have ever read.
Review: This is one of the most poorly written books I have ever read. The material was not very helpful -- it has been explained better elsewhere. The author writes as if parents are idiots and he is the only one with the answers. Save your money, time and sanity and don't bother with this.
