Thank you Mr. Morrish!

I was given this book, and while parenting advise is often not very welcome, I was thrilled to receive it! I have been searching for alternatives for the"If...then.." (meaning 'If you eat your peas, then you may have dessert, or If you clean your room then you can have a playdate', etc.) trap for a while and as the mother of an expert five year old negotiator needed some guidance. This book is clear, concise, rational, and really just what I was looking for. It has been a godsend, and I am recommending it to all my friends.

Children finally come with a manual on how to raise them!

I am a parent of 3 teen-age+ children - 2 pre-teen stepchildren and have managed a pre-school program (57 children) for the past 15 years. This is the first method of discipline in the new age that is useful not only for teachers and parents but also for our children. If everyone were to apply R. Morrish's intelligent and common sense methods our future generations would be our pride instead of our sorrow. Our children will benefit greatly from this method of growing up and I will be using it extensively in both my home and my pre-school. Thank you Ronald it is about time we "raised" our children with real workable methods. Parents should be given this book the day they have their first child.

Making discipline make sense

Morrish walks the reader through the 12 keys that truly unlock our children's potential to be responsible and successful in life....I found his approach "parent-friendly" and would recommend it to anyone with children or planning to have children

A must for every parents or teacher

If you are looking for a how to guide for disciplining children at home or in the classroom, this is the book to read. Simple, common sense suggestions to help teach children the value of respect, reason for rules etc...

Great Book On Discipline

As reviewed by Marjan Glavac for the Busy Educator's NewsletterRon Morrish, author of "Secrets of Discipline 12 Keys for raising responsible children" has been an educator and behaviour specialist since 1972. His workshops and presentations have helped countless parents and teachers improve their skills for raising responsible children. Ron starts out with a very simple question: What has happened to discipline? Could television and the movies have such a negative impact on our children? Many people think so. Others believe that social issues are to blame, including poverty, abuse and the breakdown of the family unit. Research says that every one of these concerns plays a significant role. That's not a surprise. The only real surprise, according to Morrish, is that no one is investigating the most obvious source of problems. Many of the problems with discipline lie within discipline itself. Many of the strategies that we presently use to raise our children will not give us the kind of children we want. I visited with Ron in his home for over 3 hours. While there, his 6 year old daughter kept peeking through the doorway to see who her dad was talking to. Ron invited her into the room and introduced us. She then sat on his lap, and listened attentively as we both continued our conversation. There firsthand, I saw that Ron's approach to discipline really works. He is one speaker and author who "walks his talk".
