Reviews
In her latest book, child psychologist Peters (Don't Be Afraid to Discipline) turns her attention to managing children ages six years and under. While serving up her familiar stance on discipline, Peters softens her tone a bit for the younger set. As in previous books, she urges parents to offer consequences that are immediate, important, predictable and calmly given. Though her behavior management system?much of which involves a simple smiley-face chart?can't effectively be implemented until a child is about three years old, she advocates the use of consistently applied structure much earlier (at nap, feeding, and bed times, for instance), and, unlike many other experts, advises the use of a reward system. Rewards, however, should be reasonable, practical and easy for parents to use, such as a board game played with a parent, a small treat, an extra book at bedtime or a poker chip that can later be traded for money or an activity. Peters's plan for these years is less convoluted than the poker-chip method she promotes for use with older kids, and she more readily accommodates for deviations here and there (e.g., an extra smiley face is allowed in certain circumstances). Also included are chapters on behavior management for developmental issues (such as sleep and meals), social issues (such as fears or self-esteem), socially inappropriate behaviors (biting, lying, etc.) and for kids with attention deficit disorder.

Hardcover. Condition: Collectible-Like New. Dr. Ruth Peters' savvy, straightforward advice assures parents that they -- not their kids -- should be in the driver's seat and shows them how to make it happen, without guilt or unnecessary conflict.As a respected child psychologist and mom with more than 20 years' experience, Dr. Ruth Peters knows how quickly children -- even those younger than two -- can gain the upper hand in the parent-child relationship. Even in their earliest interactions with their children, parents can inadvertently encourage bad patterns of behavior and set the stage for later problems.After pointing out several ineffective parenting styles and the manipulative tactics that young children use with great success, Dr. Peters outlines a behavior management system with clear, consistent, and fair rules that are connected to solid consequences and meaningful rewards.It's Never Too Soon features a smiley-face chart to help kids know what is expected of them, tips for using the system to handle socially inappropriate behavior (such as aggression, bossiness, and tantrums) and developmental issues (such as sleep problems and toilet training), a chapter on Attention Deficit Disorder, and specific advice for single parents and step-families. This parent-friendly, practical guide is the first step toward bringing order to every home. Seller Inventory # 9780307440020
