Inhaltsangabe

A smart, easy-to-implement, and unique approach to positive disciplining

Drawing on her highly successful methods developed in her private practice, Dr. Cristine Chandler lays out clear, step-by-step instructions to help parents foster good behavior in their children based on the positive premise: that children behave well when they understand clearly what is expected of them.

Most discipline problems occur when parents are inconsistent about what they expect. Four Weeks to a Better-Behaved Child shows parents how to implement the "4Cs" of discipline in their daily practice: use clear, consistent, contingent consequences. Moreover, in this concise, straightforward book, Dr. Chandler challenges several commonly used approaches to discipline and provides alternatives. She shows parents:

• Why punishment is often the least effective way to discipline children
• Why anger never works
• Why "time-out" works only sometimes--and what to do instead
• How to use consequences to encourage--and get--good behavior

Shouting, talking back, hitting, and slamming doors are not unusual behaviors 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 behaviors into regular habits
• How to discourage your child from repeating unwanted behaviors
• When and why certain discipline techniques work (or fail to work)
• The Cool Down technique, and why it's more effective than Time Out
• The four Cs of discipline: clear, consistent, contingent, consequences
