In this easy-to-listen-to, science-based book, parents, caregivers, and adults of all kinds discover how discipline affects children’s development, why intervention should reinforce connection not separation, and why the disciplinary strategies that may have been used on us as children are not the ones that children really need. As a practicing child and family psychologist and advisor to the British Columbia ministry of children and families, Dr. Vanessa has seen it all, and she has navigated hundreds of tough situations with families. Drawing on scientific research and a wealth of clinical experience, she shows you how to put out the fire without dampening your child’s spirits; how to correct their behavior while emphasizing connection; and how to discipline without damage.

I absolutely loved this book. So many key insights, my only regret is that I didn't read this when my kids were younger. Highly recommend!

This is not an everyone-approach - this is a conscious parent approach!
Becoming the change is painful at first but it is the magic needed for our children!

It repeats most of the "Parenting right from the start", so I guess my dislike is due to the fact that I listen to both of them

What do you need this separate field for, I don't have time

It’s pure coincidence that I downloaded this book out of curiosity at the same time as my third child started first grade, and his problems with school began. This book was so helpful in confirming my fears and instincts that his situation wasn’t right, the teacher’s old school tactics were damaging his outlook on school and life. I’m so glad I didn’t have to rely on my guesses that he can thrive in a different environment, this book was there to hold my hand. I would highly recommend it to anyone caring for a child and wish I read it a couple of decades ago when my first baby was born.

One of best parenting books AND great general advice!

I Definitely recommend this book. It tells us why and how to change “traditional” discipline.

Great book

This is a book about how to sympathize with your child. It has no advice for actual discipline, but it's still a good read for how to see things from your child's perspective and why you should yell less.

Good book but false advertising
