So many opportunities to TEACH your child! Much more than discipline!!
This book was such a pleasure to read! I was engrossed and amazed at the many, many opportunities pointed out where you can take a tanrum or fit and turn it into a lesson learned for the child. This book reminds us that raising kids takes work, patience, and conistency -- I say reminds because we all know those things are true. But to take a typical situation that is unpleasant or even ...

Super practical, non-preachy, excellent advice
I was a bit skeptical at first, wondering how a Q and A format could possibly be sufficient. Would the book be full of pithy, useless, empty, overly-general advice? No, in fact, it gets right to the point and is relevant and helpful. I'm very impressed with the thoughtful discussion of many of the most difficult parenting problems. It has become on of the first places I turn for advice. ...

Not just theory
The most important part is, Nelsen writes from experience. Most of the would-be "authorities" writing about childrearing turn our to have raised only two or three, or maybe four, children of their own. Nelsen raised seven! So if she says spanking is unnecessary, that other techniques do indeed work, I say she has enough experience to know this. The original edition of this book was written ...

Finally the wisdom every sales person needs!
Having been on the operations side of professional services firms for years, I have had my fair share of working with sales people who had a speech impediment - they could never say NO. Once I became a sales person myself, I understood the pressures of sales pros to meet quotas and ensure they can make the next lease payment on their BMW. But I also knew that companies wanted consultants and ...

Protect yourself from energy vampires!
I received this book as a gift, and I really enjoyed it. Many of us sometimes come into contact with the people Dr. Orloff refers to as energy vampires; those people who leave us feeling tired and drained. She provides us with 10 prescriptions for boosting our energy and combating energy vampires. My favorite is "find a nurturing spiritual path that fits your own beliefs and inner ...

extremely helpful!
This book is exactly what we needed. My son just turned 15 and my husband who's very controlling still treated him like a child giving him little or no space to develop on his own. It was getting scary between them. They would fight often and my son threatened to run away. I bought two copies so we could both read it before someone got hurt! It's helped to open our eyes and realize it's OK for ...

A short, quick read with useful strategies grounded in research
I purchased this book with hesitation, assuming it would fit the mold of other leadership fads and would wax poetic mostly using anecdotes and success stories. Happily, I was wrong. Kim Cameron has kept it to the essentials, while linking empirical research to effective leadership strategies - none of which are groundbreakingly new, but useful nonetheless. For anyone who has an interest in ...

Behaviour guidance is about developing self-control!
This is one of the best books that I have ever read. I am a 2nd year Early Childhood Education student and my brilliant professor suggested that we read this book for his class "Child Guidance." So many teachers struggle with challenging behaviour and this book describes positive techniques to use with children of all ages. Behaviour guidance is about helping children develop self-control, it's ...

This book is filled with quotes and sayings, all inspirational, all meaningful. This morning I felt angry at myself for not doing something as well as I'd expected. I opened the book and one of the first quotes I saw was, "Release the need to blame anyone, including yourself. We're all doing our best with the understanding, knowledge, and awareness we have." -Louise L. Hay This moved me, how ...

a win-win discipline book
This is a win-win book on discipline. It's applicable to all grades. It asks us to look beyond the superficial quick-fix that's so pervasive with control techniques and reward systems. It gets us to start asking the deeper question: what is behind the behavior being displayed. It does not suggest we throw away setting limits, the authors instead point to a more healthy and compassionate ...
