Description: The right way to discipline that can truly change your child! The authors of 'Discipline Without Shouting or Spanking: A Guide to Changing Your Child's Behavior,' child psychologist Jerry Wyckoff and educator Barbara Unell, are leading authorities in the field of American parenting education. They warn of the dangers of disciplining through shouting and spanking, insisting that neither mothers nor children should ever be hurt in the name of discipline. Drawing on their own expertise as a child psychologist and an educator, as well as advice from social scientists, neurologists, pediatricians, and other experts who work closely with children, they created this comprehensive guide. The book identifies 43 behavior problems that children commonly and repeatedly display, and rather than offering the vague, theoretical advice found in many other parenting books, it provides immediate and fundamentally effective solutions for correcting each one. It also offers practical, level-headed solutions to everyday conflicts that arise between parents and the other caregivers who help raise their children—such as how single parents should coordinate with a co-parent, or what to do when grandma wants to let the child stay up later than usual bedtime. These may seem like small issues, but they often become real points of friction among caregivers.
