At the baby shower I went to, they had a place where you could write down some parenting advice on a card, that they would put in a photo album for the mom to be, to keep and read, and enjoy as a special keepsake. They said it could be special advice geared toward boys, but I thought that saying “don’t be surprised at how many times you have to say, ‘keep your hands out of your pants,’” to little boys would be that “sentimental” of a piece of advice to write on a keepsake card. I thought a

Recently I spoke at Grace Community Church and posted about 5 words to shape your parenting . Since then I have been asked several times for more specifics about parenting. There was a special interest in the subject of spanking; whether it was appropriate or not and whether I believe in it or not.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Review from a child psychiatrist
I’m a child psychiatrist and can tell you that this book is great. Helpful for all parents, not only parents of extremely defiant children. Talks about the power of positive feedback, versus persistent punishing, etc. This is what child mental health professionals use and teach and it works. Its also easy to read and interesting.

5 Stars positive discipline
This book is a wonderful guideline for positive discipline. After reading this book our family dynamic changed for the better. My 3 and 5 year olds have responded great to high fives, hugs, and their sticker charts for accomplishing goals of going to bed, listening, talking nicely, and sharing. Thank you Dr. Kazin for sharing this method of discipline.

Child discipline referendum chief petitioner Sheryl Savill is described in today’s Dominion Post as: a “communicator” for a conservative critics say Right wing evangelical organisation, Focus on the Family. But elsewhere in the article, the Dominion Post states: Ms Savill, 40, has asked petition organisers not to give her contact details to the news media… Seems the “communicator” doesn’t want to communicate right now, and has run off to hide from the media somewhere in the United
