New Book: The No-Cry Discipline Solution
A Breakthrough, Tear-Free Approach to Discipline
By best-selling parenting author, Elizabeth Pantley, Creator of The No-Cry Sleep Solution and The No-Cry Potty Training Solution (more than 300,000 copies sold)
Nearly all parents acknowledge that while raising children can be the best and most rewarding job of your life, their discipline is often the most complicated, challenging and frustrating aspect of parenthood. But how do you promote good behaviour? How can you be firm without shouting and having your child (or you), ending up in tears? And, does discipline really have to be unpleasant to be effective? In The No-Cry Discipline Solution (McGraw-Hill, August 2007, £9.99), world renowned parenting author and mother of four, Elizabeth Pantley, shows how discipline can be approached in a positive, even fun way, and how to tailor key discipline techniques to your child - without the whining, tantrums and tears.
Written in particular for parents of children aged from two to eight, Elizabeth Pantley believes that discipline is not about a ‘one size fits all' set of rigid guidelines, nor is it about punishment, or tears. In this inspiring, thoughtful and loving book, the top parenting expert will show you that discipline is principally about teaching our children the rights and wrongs, and about helping you to develop your own effective formula of discipline techniques based on the individual temperament and needs of your child.
"Discipline simply means to teach. Parental discipline is about helping our children create a foundation of strong values, morals and guidelines that they can use for a lifetime of self-discipline. We teach our children through our words, actions and example - every day." Elizabeth Pantley
Tested by hundreds of families worldwide (including the UK), and in every childrearing situation: working families, single parents, stay-at-home parents, twins and multiples, and children of varying age and temperament, The No-Cry Discipline Solution will show you how to live everyday life with your children in a controlled, yet loving and happy way.
It offers thought-provoking advice on our role as parents, as well as ways to help you better understand your child, and practical, achievable' tips you can use every day to make life easier. Pantley's addition of dozens of ‘real life' examples from parents worldwide also makes you realise that your past discipline traumas are just as trying as everyone else's - and can be improved!
Divided into four parts, The No-Cry Discipline Solution begins by looking at essential parenting attitudes to build a strong foundation, banishes the discipline myths and looks at discipline and emotional control.
Pantley also examines everyday discipline challenges, identifies how to solve the real problem and demonstrates key No-Cry Discipline parenting skills and tools to stop the tantrums and tears. The final parts of the book examine the importance of staying calm and avoiding anger for a peaceful home, how to reduce anger-producing situations and tips to stay calm, together with a dedicated, ‘lifesaver' section on specific solutions for those frustrating everyday problems including bathtime, bossiness, car travel, hitting, interrupting, lying, manners, mealtime, sharing, sleeping, screaming and shouting!
Whatever your discipline concerns, fears or traumas, The No-Cry Discipline Solution offers sympathetic and real-life solutions to help you set off on the right road, expel any negative beliefs and replace them with positive, effective parenting skills - for now and the future.
