Life Saver October 13, 2008 This book has helped us to get a better routine in place for our 3-1/2 girl to go to bed. It use to be a battle every night to get her to bed but now she walks herself to her room and usually within 20 minutes of reading and resting she is asleep. Even if she does not want to go to bed she will still walk up on her own and climb into bed. She is very excited and proud to put a sticker on her chart for being a big girl. This book help to give us some direction to follow and it is working for us.
Now I Know I Am Not Alone October 8, 2008 This book helped me to know I am not the only parent with these challenges. The book is very current with situations (computers, cell phones, video games) that are hurdles for today's parents. Advice and strategies are given for pre-schoolers to teens. The book is thorough and even comes with a DVD to demonstrate Mr Kazdin's core method. I was satisfied with this purchase.
Excellent support of positive reinforcement in childrearing October 6, 2008 This book is a great resource for parents who are struggling with a child's behavioral issue or are simply preparing themselves to better utilize the influence they have in directing their child's actions.
The Kazdin Method for Parenting the Defiant Child September 29, 2008 I think this approach is a good one; well worth the read if you have a child in this category.
Best Investment for Yourself and Your Children August 31, 2008 This book is the best investment I've ever made in Parenting Books. It's easy to follow and apply, and it brings out the very best in my children and in myself. So often I've struggled with disciplining my children~on how to do it effectively. That is no longer the case! Hats off to Dr. Kazdin and all those who collaborated to put together a wonderfully positive, practical and EFFECTIVE approach to changing undesirable behavior. I cannot say enough GOOD about his book!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!
