Positive Discipline: The First Three Years, Revised and Updated Edition: From Infant to Toddler--Laying the Foundation for Raising a Capable, Confident Paperback – February 24, 2015

Parenting is a process to grow parents as well!

The book is good at giving everyday practical advice. I was at a loss at how to discipline my 2 year old. While I hear that 2 years may be too young to start disciplining, I could see my toddler getting out of hand if I didn't set some boundaries early on. I like that this book also gives you a perspective from the toddler's point of view that sometimes we, as parents, may forget. It makes you realize that sometimes the toddler is behaving the way he's supposed to, even though it might not align with what we think. There are a lot of good reminders that affect the outlook you may have as you grow to understand you child. I appreciated those reminders and if I can pick up a few tips and good advice, it's also worth reading and investing the time.

book is amazing! it teaches you about positive discipline and how to use it. there's also sources from studies and statistics about how other forms of punishment effect a child in a negative manner like yelling and hitting. the book is amazing. the book also provides example and scenarios that are relatable to what parents face from their children and the appropriate way to handle the situation. before being a mom i was big on no hitting and no screaming because my mom did it alot and it hurt me in the long term. i want my children to grow in to confident, empathetic, and self sufficient adults. i STRONGLY recommend this book!

I like the idea of positive discipline and being kind but firm, the book is easy to read and quite informative, and while it's full of examples I felt I need more real life situations, with what to expect in terms of then children's possible reactions to being "kind but firm", possible escalation. My child is only 14 months so I haven't experience tantrums and stubbornness yet but I think the book portrays positive discipline as an easily implementable miracle solution !

I really enjoyed that read, I felt I learnt a lot of useful information. It is quite redundant - it repeats a lot of statements and information, and also gets a tad too "inspired" in the chapter about nature, but overall, if you can look past this - and it's worth to! - you can learn a LOT of very useful facts about child's early development and some good advice worth, at least, considering. I recommend it.

Definitely helpful especially for the first time moms. It mentioned all the common baby behaviors and how to handle it. Still trying to put in to practice. But good suggestions.

I’m learning a lot form this book.It is very well written and is sure to be useful for any parent aiming to learn a better way to discipline their little one(s). This book will definitely stay in my library for years to come.

I liked this book. It made me rethink how to discipline my 18 month old at the time and how to talk to him. A lot of it is the parent’s part to calm down and talk to your kid. It can be hard of course, but has made me rethink on blowing up on things that really weren’t a big deal.
