Title: One size does not fit all
Review: This book is overly simplistic. It assumes that all children are the same and will respond the threatened 1-2-3- you're in Time Out. This book lacks alternatives for children who don't respond "textbook". Also, I find it discomforting to "train" my children to ignore me the first three times I tell them to do something - which is what this book is really telling you to do. One warning. (Go ahead and ignore me) Two warnings (Don't bother to listen just yet) Three warnings (You have a few more minutes to misbehave) OK, now you're in time out. What exactly does this TEACH? Also, what about more severe situations? If my son is hitting his brother in the face with a toy truck, I certainly shouldn't be standing there saying, "Kyle, that's one!" I found other books to be much more realistic and practical, such as: Perfect Parenting: The Dictionary of 1000 Parent Tips. Because I want my kids to listen to me without my having to threaten them with a time out.
