Customer Reviews

Situations and solutions
This video provided specific parenting situations with different ages of young children - and then went on to suggest solutions AND provided a short scene to demonstrate it! Very useful information using non-violent means to deal with some of the behaviors we all hope never happens in a public place; but often does. I was very impressed with the video, its overall production and the information provided. This will be used regularly in our parenting program.

Very Helpful Guide to One of the Most Difficult Aspects of Parenting
What would parents do without Dr. Brazelton? He makes everything so clear. He does it again with this video on discipline, which provided helpful guidance for our family. By the way, this is part of a series to help parents, the I Am Your Child series. I've seen a few of the other videos and they're also helpful.

Pretty Basic
The information provided is rather basic and is pretty much common sense. I can't say that I really learned anything new. The video is pretty short as well... only 30 minutes long. I suppose it might benefit someone who doesn't do a lot of reading in regards to child development or someone who doesn't have much expereince with children.
