This book has been indispensable for our family! An extensive and complete resource book for parents of young children, Mr. and Mrs. Sears promote gentle, firm discipline techniques. They also explain how an attached relationship with your child can prevent discipline problems. There is a focus on the concept that discipline involves equipping children with self discipline skills, and the tools to become happy, confident adults. Parents are encouraged to recognize, and work with the individual temperaments, developmental stages and personalities of children. Provides a wonderful basis for understanding how and why certain types of discipline will work for your child.

"This is another Dr. Sears must have in your parenting library. Along with learning why your child does the things he does, you'll get some great suggestions on how to handle them. I re-read this book everytime I feel I am losing the battle. I then feel ready, again, to do my job as a Mom to the fullest. A MUST HAVE! " - Michelle

What a great book! None of the psycho-babble or artificial conversation techniques that I find so annoying in many other discipline books. Kid Cooperation is concise, straightforward and full of practical information, advice and positive techniques to teach children cooperation, self discipline and respect. Take the parenting quiz and find out how your parenting style can affect your relationship with your child and the effectiveness of your discipline techniques. Chapter topics include The Keys to Successful Parenting, Punishment Versus Discipline, Cooperation, Self Esteem, Nurturing Sibling Relationships among others. There are also chapters about handling your own anger and taking care of yourself. Don't just take my word for it, the reviews of Kid Cooperation at Amazon.com are glowing and you can read some of Elizabeth's work here at Parentingweb. Featured in the Gentle Discipline area are several excerpts from her new book Perfect Parenting! (see below)
