Review # 1 was written on 2020-09-17 00:00:00 Jhon Pere I marked this book down for safety because in my opinion human health and healing are things used to be safe in the classroom, to prevent illnesses and excelling learning standards.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-10-28 00:00:00 Courtney Lee Useful, practical advice. The only thing that bothered me was the way children's behavior was described as "misbehavior" instead of how the behavior was experienced for the child (what needs the child was trying to fulfill using that particular behavior) and then examining why that particular behavior was a problem for the family, society, etc.. I feel like framing it through the child's eyes invites more empathy to the situation, while still focusing on solutions. Hearing the word "misbehavior" over and over was off-putting to me. With that said, I'm glad I did not discount this book because of that caveat. The author has given more practical advice than any other discipline book I've read that does not rely on punishments or rewards. I found the tips to stop nagging, stop rescuing, stop lecturing, getting a life, and act don't talk particularly enlightening. Her tips about family meetings and morning and bedtime routines have enhanced what we were already doing--she has a lot of gems in there. Furthermore, the style of this book is particularly useful because it is easy to find tips on a particular issue when needed. And, of course, the first section is indispensable. I'm sure this is a reference book that I will refer to during my entire parenting career.
