I bought this for a friend with young children who was despairing at their attitude - mine are grown up - but read it anyway as I thought it would give me a few reminders for when we have the grandchildren over, and when friends with their youngsters are around.This would have been a helpful book for when my children were little in that I see some of the methods offer good short cuts! Catherine Anderson talks about discipline in a non-harsh way and shows how you can set boundaries, establish respect, manage tantrums, and inculcate a sense of self-discipline.It's interesting and informative, without being waffly; it's not too long a read, so it's easy enough to get through in between playing with the kiddies.
