If you feel trapped between extremes when you're disciplining your children, you'll appreciate the time-tested advice in this classic guide. You don't have to spank your children to get them to behave--and you don't have to worry that you're spoiling them, either. Drawing from four major child guidance philosophies, parent educator Elizabeth Crary provides dozens of examples and exercises to help you find the best way to rear your children. "Without Spanking or Spoiling" will help you understand:
- Why scolding and spanking can increase the very behavior you want to avoid;
- Why praising children sometimes leads to problems;
- How to get kids to substitute an acceptable behavior for something intolerable; and
- How to determine effective consequences for unacceptable behavior.
First published in 1979, Without Spanking or Spoiling has been described as "a treasure trove of ideas" by critics and parents across North America. With almost 300,000 copies sold, it's one of the best-regarded resources for parents struggling with discipline issues.

Parents often feel trapped into choosing between two extremes spanking or spoiling their children. But both spanking and spoiling are avoidable using the variety of options Elizabeth Crary has offered parents over 20 years.
A parent educator for decades, Elizabeth Crary is the award-winning author of more than 30 books and dozens of articles on child guidance. She is a frequent speaker in North America and Japan; she had guested on "Ophrah" and many other television and radio programs. Her newest books include "Dealing with Disappointment."
