Editorial Reviews
Product Description
In her private practice, Mary-Elaine Jacobsen worked with thousands of parents to help them with their defiant, obnoxious, and challenging children. By following her program parents have seen their children's arguing, tantrums, and disobedience come to an end.
In THE BRAT STOPS HERE, Dr. Jacobsen comprehensively outlines her program for giving parents the essential tools they need to set limits and expectations and follow through with their kids when they cross the line. The key to Dr. Jacobsen's program is the Privileges On/Privileges Off approach. When a child does not comply with the rules of the house (which are carefully explained to the child in an age appropriate manner), he or she loses all privileges and must earn them back by apologizing, acknowledging what they would do differently, doing what was asked of them in the first place, and performing an additional chore. Following this approach consistently over the course of five weeks will have a dramatic effect on the household--including reducing tension in the interaction between parents and children, developing skills that will help children get along better at home and at school, and laying the foundation for children to become self-sufficient, responsible adults.

From the Back Cover
Through her unique program, psychologist Mary-Elaine Jacobsen has helped numerous families transform their children’s behavior and now she can help yours. Her approach centers on the concept of Privileges On/Privileges Off. If a child mis-behaves, they can no longer enjoy any of their favorite activities until they make amends.
Dr. Jacobson walks you through, step-by-step, what you can do to transform your six to twelve-year old’s behavior. Each step is comprehensively explained with age-appropriate tips so that all the children in a family can understand what is expected of them.
The Brat Stops Here guides you through:
-Identifying the desired behavior you are seeking
-Explaining to your child what is expected and the consequences of mis-behavior
-Taking away all privileges when your child crosses the line
-Having your child earn back privileges by apologizing for and correcting behavior
This practical and effective system can put an end to tantrums, arguing, and defiance. In a short time you can have children who listen, can take “no” for an answer, and do as they are told. Calm can be restored to the family home, parents and kids will get along better, and kids will be well on their way to becoming self-sufficient and responsible.
