Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Wyckoff, a family therapist and professor of human development and family life at the University of Kansas, and Unell, founder and editor of Twins magazine, define discipline as "a teaching system that leads to orderliness and self-control" and emphasize that parents should view behavior in perspective, accepting the child no matter how unruly he or she acts. In telegraphic style, each paragraph addresses aspects of problems that range from knuckle-crunching and talking back to sibling rivalry and poor study habits. Interspersed throughout are short narratives showing how a parent deals firmly and compassionately with a child and his or her specific problem. Typical advice to the parent: "Say, 'Here are your choices: You can do what I have asked and then be able to do what you want; or you can refuse to do what I've asked and then give up your playtime. You choose how you want to spend the day.' " While this is a handy, sound reference book, the format, which includes many bold-faced, all-capital paragraph heads, makes it a difficult cover-to-cover read. Wyckoff and Unell are coauthors of Discipline Without Shouting or Spanking.

I highly recommend this book for any parent who wishes to delve deep within the psyche of their child. There is a wealth of material here that can be gleaned and utilized in order to make your life, and your child's, more comfortable and relaxed. I have used many techniques in the book already, and they do work! Overall, I rate this book superb and I will continue to learn and use the techniques outlined in order to have a stable, respectful and happy household.

Finally Someone Tells us How!,
By A Customer
This review is from: How to Discipline Your Six To Twelve Year Old Without Losing Your Mind (Paperback)
Finally someone has written a book that makes sense. My 9 year old is a good kid with some issues on additude! This was the book to make the difference! She wines I calmly state the house rules and give her a chore to complete! I am no longer the bad mom....She does a wrong! I calmly state her punishment and she now listens. I am sticking to it and it is working! WOW! I recommend this book to anyone that has children and to the teachers out there that teach our children! If we all ban together maybe we can change the meanness out in the world with the next generation! I know mine has changed!The best thing is now she wants to keep her room clean and her responsibilities done because she saw how much fun she could really have! and all the time she wasted by not doing her responsibilities!
5.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: How to Discipline Your Six To Twelve Year Old Without Losing Your Mind (Paperback)
I'm kindof a parenting book junkie. I have run acrossed a lot of them and I can't say that I always agree with the author's viewpoint. This book is really great because it brackets out behaviors with age groups and sort of helps the parent understand the child without taking things so personally. It's a great read. I would suggest it to any parent.
