Have the Terrible Twos become the Terrifying Threes, Fearsome Fours, Frightening Fives, and beyond? Elizabeth Pantley, creator of the No-Cry revolution, gives you advice for raising well-behaved children, from ages 2 through 8

In The No-Cry Discipline Solution, parenting expert Elizabeth Pantley shows you how to deal with your child's behavior. Written with warmth but based in practicality, Elizabeth shows you how to deal with childhood's most common behavioral problems:

• Tantrums
• Sleep issues
• Backtalk
• Hitting, Kicking and Hair Pulling
• Sibling fights
• Swearing
• Dawdling
• Public misbehavior
• Whining ... and more!

"Pantley applies succinct solutions to dozens of everyday-problem scenarios--from backtalk to dawdling to lying to sharing to screaming--as guides for readers to fashion their own responses.
Pantley is a loving realist who has managed, mirabile dictu, to give disciplinarianism a good, warm name."
--Kirkus

"While many books on discipline theory are interesting and enlightening, parents often struggle finding a way to apply the theories. Pantley’s advice is practical and specific. If ever trapped on a desert island with a bunch of kids, this is among the most useful books you could bring along."
--Tera Schreiber, Mom Writer’s Literary Magazine

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

Customer Rating:
Summary: Discipline that makes both parent and child feel better.
Comment: This is an awesome book! This book has tons of information and helpful ideas in an easy to read and understand format. I love how it offers techniques to try to avoid problem situations in the first place. I love the parent's comments. It's nice to know that other parents have been where I am and to read their stories is uplifting.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Just OK
Comment: The Pantley series of books seems appealing but I'm finding them a bit pedestrian. The material isn't any better or worse than 'for Dummies' type material.
I bought a couple of other Pantley books with this one, but re-thinking that now. Her style and approach doesn't suit me. Seemed a bit dumbed-down.

Summary: A Valuable Read
Comment: This is one of my favorite books on child discipline. It explains a lot about how young children think and what motivates them. This alone helps change the way I view and react to my daughter, which is a wonderful start to greater peace for both of us. The book offers many options for each disciplinary problem and does not follow a strict "you must do this in order to achieve that" philosophy. I like that I can find solutions that fit both my personality, as well as my daughters. One size does not fit all when it comes to parents and their children.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Great Help
Comment: So far what we have read of this book it clarifies what we need to do with our sons behavior and a positive way out of the tantrums and yelling that we seem to have done over the past few months - I cant wait to finish the book and put everything into play to make our boys happier along with us as parents.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Not Very Helpful
Comment: Well, this book ended up not being what I was looking for. There are actually three reasons why it was a real chore for me to finish reading this book.

First, some of the advice in this book just struck me as being weird. For example, it advises parents to time out themselves when they feel stressed. Some ways in which they can do that are to leave the area where their child is and go to their "special place" where they can relax, for example locking yourself in the bathroom. Another alternative is to listen to music. If you can't escape the area where your child is, then another alternative is to recite poetry to yourself. As a father, I didn't find any of this advice very useful.

Second, I felt that the tone of the book was condescending. It seemed that the author writes in a style in which she imagines that you have no idea what you are doing as a parent. She writes almost as if she were talking to children. I would have prefered a less condescending style of writing.

Third, and this is a minor quibble, the book is filled with random pictures of children. I like children, but I'm not particularly interested in paying a few extra dollars for a book because it is padded with about 20 pages of random pictures. The pictures don't inform or illustrate any of the situations discussed in the book. Actually I felt bad for some of the children, for example poor Amelia, who is pictured next to the section on biting even though she is not biting anyone in the picture or even threatening to bite anyone. I hope that she isn't branded as a biter just because the author had a third of a page that needed to be filled.

By looking at some of the other reviews, it seems that this author has her fans, and that is fine. Not everyone will be served equally by the same book. If you could find some value in it, I'm glad of it, but this didn't help me at all. If you're considering buying this book, think carefully about what you are looking for in this type of book and choose wisely.
