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.

In the book, you'll discover:

-- How to encourage your child to turn desirable behaviors into regular habits
-- When and why certain discipline techniques work (or fail to work)
-- The Cool Down technique, and why it is more effective than Time-Out
-- The four Cs of discipline: clear, consistent, contingent consequences

Did you know that…

•	Punishment is often the least effective means of discipline.
•	Anger is not a useful discipline technique. Not only is it hard on loving relationships, but it is a barrier to learning – and it is learning that will keep the child from repeating an unwanted behavior.
•	Time Out, as often practiced, is flawed. Two common fallacies are that it is a punishment that stops a behavior, and that children use their Time Out to consider what they have done wrong.
