Practical Common Sense Advice - By: Derrick, 14 Dec 2001
Excellent book for parents who are tired of yelling, power struggles & constantly repeating themselves. Applicable for alll ages & includes separate chapters for teenagers & children with ADD.

This author shows how our discipline methods appear through the childs eyes (not always pleasant), & why they often just ignore our rules. Children often know exactly what we want & what upsets us, but rarely know what our real expectations are. They compare our words to our actions & can learn to ignore our words if our actions don't follow up.
The book teaches parents to elimninate soft limits & clearly communicate your expectations, & gaining cooperation by being consistent. There are countless examples of realistic discipline situations which cover a wide range problems. At the end of each chapter, there are parent study group questions which are helpful.
There are also separate chapters for problem areas such as handling chores, homework & descriptions of age appropriate tasks.
A logical & staight forward approach with clear messages. Many of the parenting "What If?" questions are answered instead of avoided as in some parenting books. I would highly recommend this book to alll parents.
Some other helpful parenting books I would also suggest are: "The Manipulative Child: How to Regain Cotrol & Raise Resilient, Resourceful, & Independent Kids" by Swihart & Cotter, "Try & Make Me!" by Ray Levy & "Ain't Misbehavin" by William P Garvey.

The most exciting book about parenting I've ever read. - By: , 19 Sep 1998
I have read plenty of parenting books & have disagreed with some of the material. In Mr. MacKenzie's book there was not a single thing I disagreed with. It reallly helped me to understand why my children behave the way they do & how to change their behavior. I have been recommending this book to everyone I know. It is a must have book for parents.
