Synopsis

Praise for "Four Weeks to a Better-Behaved Child" - 'An invaluable resource for parents in their attempts to find the most effective ways of disciplining their children' - Robert Brooks, Ph.D., faculty, Harvard Medical School, and author of "Raising Resilient Children". 'Cristine Chandler has developed an easy-to-read, step-by-step approach that will make you pause before trying time-out and other time-honoured but ineffective techniques of discipline' - Myrna Shure, Ph.D., author of "Raising a Thinking Child" and "Thinking Parent, Thinking Child". 'An informative and easy-to-read guide for parents. The four Cs to discipline offer a clear strategy for raising well-behaved and resilient children' - Nicholas Long, Ph.D., Professor of Pediatrics, University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, and coauthor of "Parenting a Strong-Willed Child".Shouting, talking back, hitting, and slamming doors are not unusual behaviours for small children, but they don't have to be a way of life either. "Four Weeks to a Better-Behaved Child" is based on the positive premise that children behave well when they understand clearly what is expected of them and are held accountable. Here you'll discover: how to encourage your child to turn desirable behaviours into regular habits; how to discourage your child from repeating unwanted behaviours; when and why certain discipline techniques work (or fail to work); the cool down technique, and why it's more effective than time out; and, the four Cs of discipline: clear, consistent, contingent, consequences.
