The Discipline Guide is an excellent source for anyone who is working with children. It can be used for teacher training. The book covers a variety of areas in discipline. The authors incorporate all the aspects of a child's whole person in a concise and understandable way. This book will change your thinking and will forever help in working with children. I really enjoyed reading the book and plan to use it when I train teachers in church. It can be used in a variety of ways, from sunday school to daycare.

5.0 out of 5 stars helped me want to work with kids, June 10, 2005

This review is from: The Discipline Guide for Children's Ministry (Paperback)

I volunteered to teach a class of four year olds for a year in a church ministry. Seven of the kids were great, but one little boy's behavior made me regret my decision, and his behavior started affecting the other boys. I picked this book up at a Children's Ministry Seminar, and it changed everything. I instituted the suggestions in this book, and the difference was almost miraculous. Not only did I understand the boy better, but the suggestions worked! I saw change immediately, and the boy's behavior continued to be good as long as I was consistent. The year turned out to be a blessing to me and to the kids. He was a sweet boy who was always excited to see "his teacher," and he said he'd miss me over the summer.
