Product Description
Too Much Love, Too Much Discipline is a down-to-earth parenting book that differs from all the others by teaching you how to be proactive rather than reactive, by avoiding the abstract and obligatory professional pontifications that critics argue are too vague to work and, instead, provides the exact and specific instructions you need to succeed.
In Too Much Love, Too Much Discipline, a doctor-writer-husband-and-wife team has created an easy-to-read, easy-to-understand, pragmatic approach to parenting. They accomplish this by first teaching parents to understand why the bad behavior is happening and that the behavior is not just a random event (as it turns out, there is more beneath the surface of your child’s tantrums, failures to listen, and other bad behaviors than you might realize). Too Much Love, Too Much Discipline then helps you develop a tailor-made behavior plan that specifically addresses your child’s individual needs.
Yet that’s only the beginning. While achieving behavior change is clearly essential, it is only half of the book’s scope. The book’s unique Five Key Virtues concept, consisting of (1) self-discipline (2) responsibility (3) strong self-esteem (4) frustration tolerance and (5) respect for authority, teaches you how to prepare your child for a lifetime of competence, flexibility, and success in the ‘real world’.
Along the way, Too Much Love, Too Much Discipline also breaks through the confusion of other parenting resources by offering step-by-step instructions to many commonly misunderstood techniques. For instance, parents who have become frustrated with the old standby ‘Time-Out’ would do well to examine how Too Much Love, Too Much Discipline has put new teeth into the Time-Out concept, making it effective each and every time. The book backs its claims of efficacy by teaching you how to chart your child’s behavior and quantify the results.
Whether your child is two or ten, currently in the throes or a behavior problem or well mannered, Too Much Love, Too Much Discipline is a must read.
