This book really works! Super Nanny must have read it!! 5 out of 5 stars.
6 of 7 people found this review helpful.
I purchased an earlier edition of this book when my first son was a toddler. The method described in this book is straightforward, sensible, logical, and easily accessible in times of need. Following these methods has always worked wonders with my first child, and is presently working beautifully with my second. This book contains advice that is so simple and logical that it can be fully understood by preschool age children, and yet is extremely effective with older children as well. The book is relatively short, and broken down into specific behavior areas, so it is very easy to read, even for a BUSY new mother. I wish my parents would have had this book available to them when I was a child. Beatings and screaming only left me angry and isolated. My children respect me and we have very loving relationships because they understand my rules and they know what happens each time they misbehave. So we have more time for positive interaction.
It usually only takes a few applications of this method to eliminate undesirable behavior. Very seldom, it is still necessary to swat a child on the backside once or twice when all other methods have been exhausted, of course. Spanking as a LAST RESORT, AFTER all the measures advised in this book have been exhausted, is very seldom necessary. I praise the authors and thank them enormously. That this book is still being published in new editions shows that it is an excellent book. I think Super Nanny must have read this book!
