0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. ExcellentBy Anne W.This book outlines the basics of good direction giving and responding to children. Will it solve every problem - No. But I have used this book for years with parents, and I am now ordering a second. For serious problems I also use The Nurtured Heart, which uses some of the same approaches as this book but with greater intensity..0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Great way to work towards non-violenceBy S. LeeI used to work in the domestic violence field, and this book is a great asset for parents needing non-violent alternatives to the sometimes violent parenting we learned from our own parents. Those violent disciplinary actions also stand in contradiction with building a more peaceful world. The techniques in the book work! My co-workers and I have used Lighter's techniques and guidelines on the children who lived in our shelter who witnessed or were survivors of parental abuse, and the children flourish under Lighter's advice. Children from more peaceful homes benefit from Lighter's examples, too!4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Effective parenting techinquesBy Amy DonoghueMs. Lighter has written an easy to read, common sense approach to child discipline. She stresses natural consequences and positive reinforcement. She gives many techniques that help parents teach their children appropriate behavior. As an elementary school teacher, I have recommended this book to parents who have found it to be extremely helpful in disciplining their young children. In my experience, Ms. Lighter's book has brought some harmony to homes that use her Ways. Ms. Lighter's book is written in a very easy to read format and is inexpensive.
