Title: Good advice overall
Review: This book has a lot of good information in it about how to deal with bratty behavior both at the toddler and the teen level. I didn't agree with everything in the book and I thought some of the proposed punishments were a bit harsh, like if a kid does not clean his room, he is grounded to his room after school and if not finished cleaning by dinner time does not get to eat with the family. I also could have done without the sarcasm, such as the list on "How to Have a Troubled Family". But there is a lot of good advice in the book. I especially liked "behavior that is rewarded will be repeated" and the analogy that dolphins in a show don't do the tricks because they were screamed at or spanked, they do it because they were rewarded when they got it right.
