Good but too brief and not well produced
This CD set contains good information but very brief and not very well produced.

Instead of getting this,... you should get the 5 CDs Positive Discipline Workshop set intead. I purchased both and found that everything covered on these 2 CDs are also covered in the 5 CD set and more. The 5 CD set is better produced, slightly better recording and division of the recording into multiple tracks so you can quickly jump to certain topics to review.

I listen to these CDs in the car and since the CD is not divided into tracks,... when I stopped in the middle of the CD,... then other people uses the car and put on another CD,... it's very cumbersome for me to fast forward and find the spot where I left off,...

audio book
The information she presents is outstanding. I have never been introduced to positive discipline before and will never go back to punitive time outs again. She is intellligent and I commend her for teaching our family patience and respect. While my 2 yr. old son continues to throw tantrums at times, they are fewer and shorter lasting than before and I maintain my cool much easier now. It is a live recording and the audio quality is poor and I hate the audience participation portion of the cd. You can't hear what people are saying most of the time and when you do, their questions and comments are annoying and unnecessary. I will order her books next. Positive Discipline is a wonderful concept.

Great content, poor audio quality
I fully subscribe to the Positive Discipline philosophy, so I was excited to find this audio CD, The information contained within is largely geared towards 4-5 year olds, but it's all good information.

Where it looses stars from me is that the sound quality is poor. It was clearly recorded in an auditorium, and it sounds like someone sat in the audience with a tape recorder.

It also lost a star because as much as I admire Jane Nelsen and respect her opinions, her public speaking seemed to leave a lot to be desired. The recording probably would have been 15 minutes shorter if not for all of the "uhhhh"s and "uummmm"s. I found my mind wandering as I waited for her to get to her point.

Buy one of her books instead - they are truly great and well written.
