great book for young parents

As a pediatrician, this is a must "read" for all young and first time parents. it has great examples and follow through. Dr. Brazelton is a genius.

good advice but everyone has thier own style.

I disagreed with some of what he said but for the most part it's very helpful.

Extensive and worthy read for parents and teachers.

This book gave an extensive look at behavior difficulties and, unlike many other books on behavior, actually have sound strategies for coping with the behaviors and teaching children about self control and guidance. I'm a teacher and new mother. I would recommend this book for any parent to read and reread as their child gets older. As well as recommend it for those in the teaching profession.

Not necessarily sure this is backed with science.

There are certainly times when corporal punishment is permitted. The author claims that in a violent world, we shouldn't use violence. The world will always be violent, the goal seems to be when is the appropriate time to use violence. All men have the underlying threat of violence when interacting, and all behaviors have consequences. A firm talking to doesnt prepare a child for the unforgiving, violent suffering of life. Neither does pure corporal punishment. But removing one at the perceived preference of the other based on unproven presumptions doesnt seem to be an answer. Some kids need spanked, some dont, some are independent, some codependent, some need wrestling, some need drawing. I'm not convinced that discipline can be mastered by this method alone.
