Good Book for Young Parents

This was a very good parenting book. I tended to be a screamer when my kids were young. In fact, I often teased that when I was angry, I bellowed. Though I knew yelling didn't work as a form of discipline, as a young parent, I was often at a loss as what to replace it with. This book does a good job in explaining why you shouldn't yell and why it doesn't improve behavior, although it is a bit vague on the "how to" control yourself and NOT yell.

It is a quick easy read and does offer logical, no nonsense advice on parenting. I recommend it for new parents. They also offer more tools on their website.

Here's the "Instruction Book" we've all been looking for.

What I appreciated most from this book was how it focuses on the parents reactions and how that fuels the fires we try to put out every day. The importance of disconnecting from what the child is doing in order to not only keep our cool, but teach the child how to keep theirs also. I have a 3 y/o strong-willed child and a 4 y/o with autism. Putting this book in action has made a huge difference how I feel about myself as a parent and a person. The fires go out much quicker (although be ready for push-back/being tested in the beginning)and there isn't the residual "I didn't handle that situation well - I'm a terrible parent!" This is a great gift for new parents. I wish I had it to read while I was pregnant with my first. No negative feedback here. I'm re-reading it!

maybe for parents with kids a little older

I think that this is a good book for people with children about 5 and up. I have a two year old and did not read much that will help us get passed the "terrible two's" but I did read a lot that might help us un the future. I would suggest holding out for a used copy or get it from the library.
