Positive Discipline: The First Three Years, Revised and Updated Edition: From Infant to Toddler--Laying the Foundation for Raising a Capable, Confident

Great book, I even purchased the audio book

Not sure how I’ve managed without this book. It’s full of excellent guidance. The first few pages are very repetitive but once you get through its great. it’s a must have for anyone with a child under three. I’ve bought copies for two of my sisters in law, a friend & my mum who’s got the grandchildren sometimes. It’s useful even if your children are older as you can still understand & apply the principles. Thank you Jane for writing this book. Please provide it in Audible format, my husband & friends I know would read it.

Book on discipline that describes the reality and provides a realistic and possible to achieve disciplinary solutions. Sends you also on the right track to explore more and broaden your horizons.

Brilliant read

This book is incredibly useful for first time parents. It give practical advice on how to handle a lot of different situations. It's my road map to parenting and even though I don't always get it right, this book has definitely helped to steer me in the right direction.

I do not get how a book like that could have good reviews at all. This is the trap that made me buy it and so I think I should help others avoid. After owning it for 2 years (those hard 2 first years of my daughters life, while working full time with rare opportunity to find relaxed time to read) I made it to page 57 with great effort.. Now I've decided I should quit trying to read it. A book should not be an effort of this magnitude. what made it hard? -not well written and often repetitive and streching a point too much as if to fill a few more pages. -no practical advice whatsoever; just theory but no practical advice. example, it will tell you understanding your child's personality is important, it will add personalities are shaped by many experiences, but give you no tools or clues as to how, what things are telling for what etc. Nothing you can use. -oftentimes the book is basically assuming youre doing it wrong and telling you off. ie if a toddler doesn't listen it's because you are really not wanting them to listen, but rather you expect them to obey, adults wouldn't obey in this scenario either if you consider it, toddlers don't listen because they follow your example etc etc. These aren't the exact words used in the book but their thought process goes like that. State the problem-tell the parent they are at fault-leave it to that. If anyone else hated this book too, but has found something else that is good, practical, and easy to read, kindly recomment to me please!

Excelente libro para promover la autorregulación y la inteligencia emocional desde el principio.

All the questions I have asking myself were addressed in this book. I highly recommend to any parent of a young child.

I bought it once for myself and now I bought it as present. Really good book, giving useful tips on how to help kids build confidence and discipline and how grown ups can react during tantrums.

The overall production quality of the book is somewhat disappointing. The binding and cover feel quite flimsy and do not seem very durable. Great content.

Amazing book! It addresses the most pressing issues: emotional meltdowns (yours and your toddler's), power struggles and defiance. It also gives you great advice as to how to organize your child's routine, so it would minimize the level of stress for all of you. The book draws on research and practical experience of the authors, but it it is not at all boring. I would definitely recommend it to all new moms.
