My Take on the Book
As I have mentioned in the past, we have a five year old that can be a hand full and her sister (who is 2) is starting to learn some of the same habits. We have tried a number of different approaches to deal with some of the behavioral issues that we see in Diva-J but after a certain point the approaches tend to lose their effect, so we are always on the lookout for new things to try.
In some situations our girls are very well behaved, but in others, they definitely need some assistance (as do we as parents). I had heard good things about this book, so I was excited to read it and try out the principles. Some of the things in the book we were already doing, while others were definitely new. At this point, the techniques do seem to be making a difference and I am hopeful that as we continue with this, it will only continue.
One of the tactics that the book talks about is counting to three. I have been using this technique in a different way, but I liked how this book examined and explained this concept. It gave me some new insights and reminded me of some others that I had tried in the past that I plan to revisit again now after reading this.
If this book sounds like one you would like in your own library you can find it on Amazon!
