Gentle guidanceThis board is not a debate board regarding spanking vs. non spanking. While we strongly believe that children need and thrive with guidance, we also believe that hitting is not the answer. If you have come here to discuss spanking and your reasons, please desist.
This is a SMALL listing of books that are worthwhile! If you have others you'd like to share, please do so with a link to a review of some sort to make it easier for all of us when we're feeling desperate. Here are links to previous threads on this topic too.

Kids are worth it! Giving your child the gift of inner discipline
Barbara Coloroso
*why discipline is not learned through threats and bribes
*why teaching a child how to think instead of what to think builds self-confidence
*the good news about the strong-willed child
*using mealtime, bedtime, toilet-training, chores, allowance, and sibling rivalry as opportunities to help children develop thier own sense of inner discipline.
