This book is a very valuable resource for parents of children of all ages. First, Judy Arnall documents the damage that punishment does to the parent-child relationship. Then she offers a wealth of ideas and suggestions for raising children without the use of punishment of any kind. The book deals both with how to prevent problems and conflicts with children and how to handle conflicts once they have occurred. Its especially useful for parents who are P.E.T. graduates. I highly recommend it.

Heres help to putting it all together.

Judys book is packed with solid information on child discipline from an attachment theory perspective. I particularly appreciated the focus on prevention of misbehavior. The breakdown of typical development by age and stage and how that impacts discipline is particularly helpful. There are good solid tips for parents of children of all ages.

Parents always prefer to be loving but often dont know how. Arnalls book debunks all the old beliefs about discipline through painful measures such as punishment, consequences or bribes and provides far more effective and kind ways to raise well behaved and thriving children.
