Title: Terrible advice
Review: After reading the reviews posted by other parents, I bought this book hoping for some sound advice on discipline techniques for my 22 month old. I was astounded by the methods that Dr. Green suggests. His advice for the majority of situations is to "smack" the child. This is exactly what I am trying to avoid in disciplining my child. And his advice for keeping your child in his/her room when put to bed or sent to time-out is to tie one end of a rope around the door handle and tie the other end to something else so the door will only open slightly. Is that supposed to be professional advice?? That sounds almost abusive to me.In addition to what I consider poor advice, the book was written in the 1980's and seems a little out of date in several instances.If you are considering this book and are looking for alternatives to smacking your child or tying them in their rooms, I suggest you look for another book.
Is the review positive or negative?
