For the past 25 years, Dr. Chandler
has been successfully helping parents whose kids
are "driving them crazy!" Almost always, the underlying
issue turns out to be discipline. Whether their problems are
mild or severe, she is able to help about 95 percent of
these parents make enormous progress in
just one or two weeks.
Within a month, their discipline problems are largely
solved – and stay solved.
The key to her extraordinary success is the “4C’s”
system of consequence-based discipline Dr. Chandler
developed and refined over many years. It is a set of
techniques based on scientifically proven behavioral
principles combined with her expertise in child
development .
Four Weeks to a Better Behaved Child describes
the same clear, step-by-step instructions that Dr. Chandler has taught
more than a thousand parents in her private practice. It
also answers the questions parents ask most often. It explains why her system of discipline works and why some
other commonly-used methods often fail.
Why Does This Discipline
System Work? How Does It Differ from Others?
Why does this discipline system work for parents who
have had only partial success or even complete failure
with others? There are several important differences.
First, Four Weeks is easy to
read, and Dr. Chandler’s techniques get results very fast.
By contrast, some books on child discipline are so
complicated that parents just quit reading. Others
describe techniques that require months of effort before
any change in behavior occurs.
Second, this book overturns some commonly-held but
mistaken beliefs. For instance:
- Many parents believe that
punishment is the single most powerful discipline tool at
their disposal. Not true! This book explains why
punishment is often the least effective discipline
technique.
- Most parents feel guilty and worried about
angry interchanges. Despite those concerns, many believe
that anger is sometimes the only way they can get their
children to behave. Four Weeks explains why anger never works,
and provides some discipline principles and techniques that
do.
- Countless parents have told Dr.
Chandler, "I've tried Time Out. It doesn't work!" And
sometimes it doesn't, for a variety of reasons. What
does work is Dr. Chandler's Cool Down
technique. While similar to Time Out in many ways, it
corrects that technique's potential flaws. In Four
Weeks, Dr. Chandler explains the behavioral
foundation for Cool Down and provides clear, specific,
step-by-step instructions for her technique. The result:
consistent success
