I've got three and six year old daughters, and am very proud of them and their behaviour. But sometime the little one is a little tricky to deal with, especially after a long day at nursery (her) and renovating property (me), so that's why I turned to this book for advice.(Apparently blaming it on her being ginger from her mother's side isn't an acceptable reason... bah....)The very word discipline initially conjures up images of punishment and stern reprimands, but as Catherine explains, it actually comes from the Latin 'disciplina' meaning teaching or learning. And that's just what this book will help you to do. Clear guidelines on setting behavioural boundaries, leading by example, avoiding shouting and physical punishments are all explained clearly in concise chapters.A wonderful book on positive parenting, that has helped me deal with the occasional outburst from my darling daughters!
