Publisher's summary

This two-hour lecture by Dr. Jane Nelsen was given on May 12, 2005, during the Butte County Department of Behavioral Health Parent Conference in Chico, California.

You'll learn:

Why punishment is never appropriate for children of any age.

Why any kind of time-out is not appropriate for children under the age of four, and how to create a positive time-out area "with" your four- or five-year-old that is encouraging, empowering, and teaches valuable life skills.

How the brain develops, and why parents often expect things of their children that are not developmentally or age appropriate - such as sharing, apologizing, and understanding "no" the way you think they do.

The three most important discipline tools to use with children under the age of three. Many other parenting tools that can be used with children under the age of three - and even more that can be used with four- and five-year-olds.

How to get children to cooperate because they "want" to.
How to help your children develop the belief that "I am capable, I can contribute in meaningful ways, and I can use my power in useful ways."

To remember why you had children in the first place.

pretty much everything

Any additional comments?

I would love to hear more talks from this author.

Not a book

The information here is amazing, but this is not an audiobook, it's just a recording of a Q&A seminar. People are asking questions from the audience, so there is long periods of silence and other oddities of listening to a live performance. I wouldn't have picked it up if I knew it wasn't a book.

Book or talk?

I was expecting a book not an live event talk. The message is great, sometimes it's hard to listen to the questions the participants make.

informative

lecture was very informative with some really good tips for children. she was very knowledgeable about positive discipline and how to interact with your children when they are not are not listening.

GOOD - but not great

This is an audio of a lecture/ presentation, so some of the audience questions are difficult for me to hear. I did find some of the information useful and will try to find a hard copy of this author’s work (library or used) to see how the book(s) compare to the audio.

Great lecture

Would you listen to Positive Discipline again? Why?

She covered all the main points from the book in this lecture. Very good! He voice is a little nasally but I love her work.

Awesome! So helpful!!

Great information for every parent! Jane is very insightful about children and their perceptions. Feel better about parenting knowing that you are coming from a loving place and shaping your children with a positive approach.

pretty good

I really wish her book was in audio. this was just a talk and parts were impossible to hear
