Helped me discipline without spanking

Probably the best thing I got out of this book for use with my toddler was the assurance that time-outs in the bedroom wouldn't spoil that place as forever associated with punishment thereafter. With this to comfort me, I was able to consistently offer and enforce time-outs as a consequence for my toddler's discipline, and she now alters her behavior with the threat of a time-out, takes it plenty seriously, and still enjoys playing in and hanging out in her bedroom at other times. I've never spanked her yet in her life (she's 27 months, and I spanked her older brothers plenty, before I bought into the possibility that time-outs could be an effective alternative), and she's well-behaved and sweet.

couldn't put it down

I couldn't finish reading this book fast enough. I read it in 2 days..I found this book to be very helpful for my situations with my 2 year old son.
