Positive Discipline Parenting Tools: The 49 Most Effective Methods to Stop Power Struggles, Build Communication, and Raise Empowered, Capable Kids Paperback – November 15, 2016

I’ve read Positive Discipline for Preschoolers and learned a lot from that book, but I felt that I needed to work on myself more than on how to raise a preschooler. There is a lot of valuable information in this book, and all the new and refresher information could be overwhelming, but as they have said before, it’s important to take one new skill and implement it for a while and continue to do one new skill at a time as needed.What I believe has helped me the most from this book, and where I needed to work on the most, was on “connecting before correcting.” I am making a conscious change to try getting an understanding of my son’s behavior before getting upset, and I believe it will make a difference. I have seen positive responses from my son when I approach the situation this way, rather than how I have been before.I would encourage everyone to read this book to understand how to more effectively deal with relationships with children, and even with others in daily life.

I love, love, love this book. I took positive discipline course 2 years ago, and I read the original at that time. I got this book from the library for a refresher. It is fabulous. It has 49 short 5-minute chapters. It is perfect to read on a short break, and you can get something from it every time you turn from it. I like to read it during bedtime to help me stay on course and not lose my temper. It's fabulous for giving me new tools and keeping me in the positive discipline mindset.

The tools in this book really work! So many communication tools that can improve the family experience for everyone. The Audible version is great too, but it’s helpful to have the bookfor referencing the charts.

Kitties I've only read the first 15 pages or so and already found it somewhat helpful. I think that Love and Logic will work better for my family, but the reflections about motivations and reactions in this book are very insightful and helpful to add to the advice i already have.

Useful book for any struggling parent (which is pretty much all of us)

Very good book with everyday life examples

Great book and worked well for our kids!

Great touchy-feely book about discipline. Goes well paired with any alternate book from author Ray Guerendi.
