This comprehensive book examines the effectiveness of frequently used discipline methods, such as time-outs and coerced apologies. It also looks at ways of dealing with negative behaviours, including tantrums, sleeping problems, and bullying. The authors advocate using 'developmental discipline' to individualize discipline practices for children - from birth through elementary school.
