This book is concise and informative. Unlike some books, it does not exhaust the reader with verbiage. To paraphrase Goldilocks, "This book is just right!"

I work as a Lead Teacher in an Early Childhood Education setting and this book gave me a whole different approach to discipline in the classroom. I was doing everything wrong and constantly putting my kids in "time-out" ALL DAY LONG. When that didn't work for some kids, I would get frustrated and my whole day would become stressful. After reading this book and applying it's principles, my days went much easier and my preschoolers respected me and listened to me alot more, as well. I highly recommend it to any teacher working with pre-schoolers.

It's a short, relatively inexpensive book, and it hits just about everything that you need for disciplining a child. You've got the theory (i.e. Dreikurs), developmental chapters, and a section (Part 3) that forces the teacher to consider a child's cultural and experiential background before making discipline decisions. That's often neglected.

Well-written and easy to read!

This book is great! I recommend it to people that are not taking a college course like me! It is full of very useful information!

This is a book used for college. I have not read it yet, but it came in great condition.
