From the bestselling authors of The Baby Book and The Birth Book comes The Discipline Book, the definitive guide to raising happy, well-adjusted, well-behaved children. Seasoned parents of eight, Bill and Martha Sears draw on personal experience and their professional knowledge as childcare experts to provide an authoritative approach to a broad range of disciplinary issues and practices.
With focus on preventing behavior problems as well as managing them when they arise, the Searses offer clear, practical advice on everything parents need to know about disciplining young children. Believing that discipline starts at birth, the Searses discuss baby discipline, disciplining the toddler, mother-father roles in modern parenting, saying no, self-esteem as the foundation of good behavior, helping a child to express feelings, the constructive use of anger, good nutrition for good behavior, and sleep discipline.
On handling problem behavior, the Searses cover sibling rivalry, spanking and alternatives to spanking, breaking annoying habits, and eliminating bothersome behaviors like whining and talking back. The Searses strongly advocate teaching children values like apologizing and sharing, and explain how to deal with such issues as lying, stealing, and cheating. In addition, the Searses address building healthy sexuality and discipline in special situations such as after divorce and in the single-parent household.

The Discipline Book-The best book I ever bought~~:

valuable wisdom from parents of eight:

Recently a friend with children younger than mine said she could use some parenting advice. So I pulled out some books I had read a few years ago to lend to her. Upon perusing the pages of The Discipline Book I thought, "Gosh, I really need to read this one again!" It offers sound advice on how to set limits with love. Lots of love. Other books are too geared toward "training" children, which I do not care for. Dr. Sears is a medical doctor and Martha Sears, his wife, is a nurse. They have eight children.... more info

Wonderful Resource:

I am a big fan of Dr. Sears so I knew this was going to be a great book. I have already tried some of the techniques and I can see that they are quite effective. Dr. Sears approaches discipline with a caring and communicative style. I have even used some of his suggestions with my second grade students! I am so happy to have this book in my parenting library.

Seller resolved issue and refunded money:

Although I did have an issue with this seller and their way of doing business, we communicated and the issue was resolved. I appreciate their willingness to do the right thing.
