Product Description
For twenty-five years, Positive Discipline has been the gold standard reference for grown-ups effective with children. Now Jane Nelsen, distinguished psychologist, educator, and mother of seven, has written a revised and expanded edition. The key to positive discipline is not punishment, she tells us, but mutual respect. Nelsen coaches parents and teachers to be both firm and kind, so that any child–from a three-year-ancient kid to a rebellious teenager–can learn creative cooperation and self-discipline with no loss of dignity. Inside you’ll learn how to
• bridge communication gaps
• defuse power struggles
• avoid the dangers of praise
• enforce your message of like
• erect on strengths, not weaknesses
• hold children accountable with their self-respect intact
• teach children not what to reflect but how to reflect
• win cooperation at home and at school
• meet the special challenge of teen misbehavior
“It is not simple to improve a classic book, but Jane Nelson has done so in this revised edition. Packed with updated examples that are clear and point, Positive Discipline shows parents exactly how to focus on solutions while being kind and firm. If you want to enrich your relationship with your children, this is the book for you.”

This book may be fine and dandy in theory, but it doesn’t work. Want to raise a brat? Buy this book. Want to raise a kid who grows up to be an adult who can manage on thier own? Buy this book. Enough said. This book was required reading for a class I took at the University level recently, and after reading parts of it in the bookstore, I finished up not even buying it.

Dr. Nelson, though I’m sure is very intelligent does not write a sound book for children of today, especially persons children in disadvanteged households. She stresses real-life punishment, and that is fine IN THEORY but in the praticallity of real life it is not a useful book. Buy Canter’s Assertive Discipline as a replacement for, a much better read.

I never recieved the item, Positive Discipline. I did, but, recieve a prompt refund when I brought it to the attention of the seller. The seller assured me that it was shipped. When I questioned to simply re-order, was told that they no longer had the item in stock. Fishy?

A excellent read and certainly better than no information at all, but, the main point I have distress with is not ever telling a child “no”. There are times when distraction and replacement are not an option. If you and your child walk into a store and she questions for a $200 item you are only undermining yourself by “replacing” it with a $20 item. And “oh honey, look it’s raining outside” is not going to work at age 10. As a teacher and parent I agree with the fact that actions will get more result than words, but, there are times when “no” is “no”. The book implies that parents who say no to a child are terrible or second-rate. This simply isn’t right. If you are looking for long range discipline right from birth I suggest you ALSO read the Babywise and Childwise books by Gary Ezzo and Robert Bucknam. Between the two books (not reasonably accurate as Ezzo and Bucknam have several) you will be able to find and successfully apply a parenting style that is effective and reasonable, for the stay at home parent or the single, effective parent. Overall, a book worth reading but if you can only afford one book I suggest do a bit more looking before building a choice to buy.
