 This advice works and the kids come out better for it. December 4, 2008
We tried many approaches with our children involving treating them as little adults such as the STEP program and had nothing but trouble. We didn't find this book until our children were approaching teen ages but the advice was still excellent and transformed our relationships. This author, years ago put in writing simple techniques that allow you to set rules, to create a situation where the children learn boundaries even before they fully understand the need for rules, and everyone in the family, large and small, can get through situations without unnecessary stress or embarrassment. Everything you see on TV with the nanny shows is the embodiment of these simple principles.
 Great to have on hand November 28, 2008
I have adapted some of this for my own style and own chlid, but I am very pleased with the book overall. I refer to it every now and again when I need a refresher or need to change up my approach a bit because of my son's changing age and needs. I feel this book is a great base to work with. It was receommended to me by one of the best daycare/preschool teachers I know and I have receommended it to many people myself.
It Works! November 11, 2008
My son's preschool teacher told me about this book last year and I was skeptical about buying it...well after attempting several things on my own, I figured why not give it a try. I listened to about 30 minutes of this cd and was able to get the understanding of the method down enough to implement it over the weekend. Well, I was amazed at how my kids reacted to this. They understood it right off the back and I am totally amazed. Sometimes, I don't even have to count to "2", once I say "that's 1" and hold up my finger they get it together. I can't wait to really get into the rest of the cd...this is very good. I have two boys ages 5 and 7 years old....so i feel if its works for me it can work for you :)) -
Should have purchased this the day my first child was born! November 2, 2008
This program for behavior management simplifies and clarifies strategies for dealing with behavioral issues that EVERY child will demonstrate from time to time. It's hilarious, logical, and when I finished it, I didn't feel so alone in addressing my child's behavioral problems.
 BAD! October 28, 2008

Very dissapointed with this book! I didn't like it! maybe because i don't agree with the technique they use to discipline the kids!
