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.

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!
