The Quickest Way to Learn About Positive Discipline
Positive Time-Out makes sense to both the parents and child care providers I work with - I love this expanded version and have been using this book for years as door prizes when I have a parenting series for parents with young children. Teaching the value of time-out is an important life skill that is often mis-taught as 'punishment'. Buy this book if you want to re-think why time-out is a positive, necessary, and valuable tool for both adults and children.

I love this book!
I highly recommend this book. The underlining parenting principles make perfect sense. It is a must read for every parents.

Great Advice for any parent or parent-to-be
This book gives great insight on the true discipline. Gave me a totally new perspective on raising my kids. I did thought that there was too much referencing to other books written by this author in the text. Overall, great book for any parent to read.
