As I read this book I could not help but think about how most teachers teach. The connection I make is that most teachers, either consciously or subconsciously, teach the way they were taught when they were students. They emulate their experience.In comparison with parenting, my best guess is that many parents discipline their children the same way they were disciplined. Where teachers make positive changes in their practice is by reading, reflection, and observation of what works best. Parents can do the same thing, and this book is a very useful resource to do this.I feel this book makes a contribution to improving parenting skills. This happens in the same way as it does for teachers; through reading, reflection and observation. Therefore this book is a valuable asset in the hands of a conscientious parent who is actively seeking ways to provide positive discipline for their child. I have no doubt that within the pages of this book there is helpful information for both new and experienced parents. This is a must-read for parents who are looking for ways to make disciplining their child a positive and beneficial experience for their child(ren).Reviewed by Thomas Jerome BakerAuthor ofHow to Teach Debating: Theory & Practical Handbook for the Non-Native Teacher,Debate Coach & International English Language Learner Worldwide
