Summary: There MUST Be Better Info Out There
Review: had higher hopes for this book. aside the fact that much of this was obvious, common-sense stuff, i kept reading reviews about people talking about how "positive discipline" was a bunch of malarcky. well, i'm beginning to see why. that's the gist of this one anyway (say "yes" to your toddler (!) more often than u say "no," etc.). thanks, but i'll keep looking.

Summary: Wonderful!
Review: I have two toddlers (2 & 3), this book provided practical advice that really impacted the way my husband and I parent. I agree with the author that teaching your child self-control is the real basis for discipline. I bought this book after becoming incredibly frustrated with my 3 year old's behavior. After 2 weeks of applying the techniques I saw real improvement in both of by son's behavior. I really recommend it for parents who believe their child is "difficult". A few modifacation in the way you parent may change your perspective.

Summary: Great help. We went from 2 tantrums a day to 2 a week!
Review: I looked at a dozen books on dealing with toddlers before deciding on this one. It really gives a logical, consistent, ethical basis for making a two-year old terror into a small human person.

Summary: GREAT BOOK!
Review: I loved this book. Great advice, particularly for first-timers like me. Our daughter was only 12 mos. when I read it, but I will definitely use it as she grows-the few times I have been able to apply the technique I've been pleasantly surprised by the result. I loaned it to a friend with a 6 yr. old and now I WANT IT BACK! I'd recommend it to anyone.

Summary: Too complicated!
Review: I was absolutely overwhelmed at Brenner's multi-step program on how to deal with your toddler. By the time you finish ALL the steps, your toddler will be onto her NEXT tantrum!

Summary: My two year-old is listening!
Review: The techniques taught in this book are easy to follow and make sense. My two year-old daughter is really listening when I use the process, she doesn't necessarily obey every time but that will come with time. It's a good way to express my respect to her. I'm thinking the technique will work on adults!

Summary: Based on the legendary work of Dr. Haim Ginott
Review: When given the proper tools for communication, parents are the ideal agents to create change. For children, words hit as hard as fists. If a child "feels" right he/she "acts" right
