 2008-12-16 - Very basic -- appropriate for the most challenged families
I found this book lacking because it doesn't address the fact that most children (at least some of the time) are ready to move onto learning how to identify choices on their own... i.e. how to instill values (oops... that might invoke shame) that will help them throughout the rest of their lives when you're not peering over their shoulders. It doesn't account for the fact that children are capable of empathy well before preschool and that there is value in teaching to that skill. In fact, the chapter on verbal communication is the shortest one at a mere 8 pages.
Unfortunately, there are families that are still struggling with the fundamental establishment of consistency and authority. For those families, this book is clear enough in its examples to help them get past this first stage... while helping other observers understand why such basic tools are necessary for certain children.

Great book. I learned a lot from it. It was worthy to read.

I recently purchased this book because I was at my wits end with my 'strong-willed' child. I felt completely out of control and ill-equipped to handle the challenges my child poses. I found this book to be very helpful in the area of explaining the behavior and how to effectively respond to the behavior. There has been a marked difference in our household in the short time since I purchased and read this book. I highly recommend it to any parent, especially those with children who are challenging.
2008-10-01 - Amazing Book - A Must Have
This book is a must have for any parent who struggles with disciplining their child. Our 3.5 year old son is very strong willed and traditional methods of time out (in a corner) were not working. This book was well written and filled with helpful examples. Within a week we noticied a difference - and best of all - I feel confident about what I am doing. If you are even considering the book - buy it.

very clear, powerful book.
limit & discipline seem so simple - but with a strong willed kid, you can go crazy. give very clear steps.
pediatrician friend recommended this. she says she recommends it to her families at least once a day.
