The title of this book is "Getting your child from no to yes without nagging, bribing or threatening" yet that's exactly what the authors do to the reader throughout the whole book. The book is almost entirely made up of paragraphs of don't do this followed by a paragraph of what you should do. It's like being nagged to in exactly the manner their telling you NOT treat your child. It wouldn't have been that difficult to approach the psychology of motivating children with actual facts and dialog rather that the page after page of "don't do" this. Poorly written.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. some good ideasBy Jennifer A. LudlowThis was an ok book. deffinently aimed at the toddler/preschool age group.I felt the chapters were redundent. I got some good ideas from the introduction section and skimed the chapters of interest to me. But felt once I read the introduction, and learned the method, it was just a matter of using those words in the specific situation.I did get some good ideas for communicating with my special needs pre-teen, who has a hard time getting his thoughts out of his head.Rent this from your library before you buy!12 of 12 people found the following review helpful. Waste of moneyBy C. SpearI wish I could give this book negative stars. That's how bad it was. It's two hundred some pages that could have easily been summed up in maybe a page or two. Basically it states very clearly that you should not nag, bribe, or threaten your children, but it offers absolutely no alternative solutions. It simply states that you should always stay positive it these difficult situtations. But it doesn't tell you what to do while being positive. Absolutely no help to me at all.
