Title: Terrible! Disrespectful to children. ZERO STARS
Review: This book was hard to stomach right from the start, demeaning parents and children.Children need to learn the respectful way to treat others, effective communication and the proper way to get their needs met. How can they learn these things when parents are just trying to get them to be quiet with counting??Hitting siblings is another oppertunity to say "be gentle" and "Take turns."A child having a tantrum will learn nothing if they don't first get their feelings validated.Our parenting goals should be to help them become responsible, mature adults with a strong sense of self and family. Counting to three, does nothing but try and get them to shut up.If a child is soiling when put in time out, that child needs attention and love. The author suggests moving time out to the bathroom, so the wetting will be easier to clean up. This is absolutely disgusting advice! This is abuse, in my opinion.I am ashamed that I actually paid for this book.
