Title: Kids Misbehave For A Reason
Review: This book may work for some children, but it's main fault, like so many other discipline books, is that it doesn't address what to do, when the method doesn't work. If the child doesn't stay in time out, what do you do? Lock them in their room. I'm not comfortable with that. The book suggests in that case, the family should consider counselling, which means that we look at the need of the child which is behind the misbehaviour. I could have done that from the beginning. I would recommend a book such as Parent Effectiveness Training that does address "what if the method doesn't work". Kids misbehave for a reason - usually a need that is not being met, and kids are not the best at asking for their needs to be met directly, so they choose annoying indirect ways that we label as misbehaviour. This book addresses the symptoms, not the underlying cause.
