CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
Very helpful guide for typical, yet challenging kid -
I think this book is extremely practical, fair and a good guide for anyone who has a boy (or girl) that may be driving you to the brink. I have a five year old boy, who is quite normal, but we definitely do the "dance" as the author so aptly describes the escalation of ineffective discipline. My boy is bright and terrific yet he TESTS me endlessly and when he hit age 5, things were becoming quite contentious very quickly. I'm not even finished yet, but already have modified my discipline approach and it has worked every time. It will take the angst, guilt and worry out of the choices you have to make AND just as importantly, makes it easier for the child to make his/her choice while avoiding painful, sometimes tear provoking episodes. I strongly recommend it for someone who is just looking for practical, supportive guidance. I can already tell that I will benefit from having read this when my second son (2 1/2) gets to this stage.

It Works -
I started reading this book on a Thursday and noticed positive changes in just a few days after implementing some of the ideas from the book at home. I really wish I had read this book when my children were younger.
One of the reasons I bought the book is because it is research based. The author started out researching how effective teachers handled classroom discipline and then eventually wrote a book for parents using similar techniques at home that worked in the classroom. The basic idea is that strong willed children are always testing so you need to have firm boundaries established with clear consequences for misbehavior.
There is a best selling business book out currently called Getting Things Done, and the Setting Limits has some similar concepts applied to parenting. One of the main concepts of Getting Things Done is to have systems in place for all of you business processes. To implement the ideas well in Setting Limits you need to have well defined system in place for all of your child's behavior issues.
For example, if your child has issues with curfew times, then put a rule in place regarding curfew with rewards and consequences and then stick to it. Your child's reward for for getting home by curfew might be to keep the current curfew and have it extended appropriately she gets older. If your child breaks curfew for avoidable reasons, then she gets her curfew moved up an hour or two for a certain period of time.
With a system in place your child isn't surprised to hear "you are grounded" for coming home a half hour late and you aren't deciding on an appropriate and logical punishment late at night when you may be upset, tired or angry. With a predefined rewards and consequences system in place, your child knows what the consequences of coming home late will be before she even sets her foot through the door.
The author shows you how to get your children to behave without nagging, getting upset, pleading, bargaining, or screaming. Amazingly, it really works.
