If I Have to Tell You One More Time

The Revolutionary Program That Gets Your Kids to Listen Without Nagging, Reminding, or Yelling

By: Amy McCready

Narrated by: Coleen Marlo

Why does it feel sometimes as if our children have special powers that enable them to tune us out completely? You ask your child to do her homework, get ready for school or bedtime. You think she heard you but... no response. You've tried everything - time-outs, nagging, counting to three - and nothing seems to work. In this invaluable audiobook, Amy McCready, founder of the popular online parenting course Positive Parenting Solutions, presents a nag-and-scream-free program for compassionately yet effectively, correcting your children's bad behavior. McCready draws on Adlerian psychology and Positive Discipline, which focuses on the central idea that every human being has a basic need to feel connected and empowered - children being no exception to the rule. According to McCready, when this need isn't met in positive ways, kids resort to negative methods. In this book she provides parents with a virtual toolbox of strategies they can use to give their children the attention and power they crave - and do away with the misbehaving that adults dread.

Critic reviews

"A must read! If I Have to Tell You One More Time delivers practical, step-by-step tools for well-behaved kids and happy families." (Dr. Michele Borba, author of The Big Book of Parenting and Today Show contributor)

Effective instruction and techniques

this book is full of useful and helpful information on the very difficult subject of parenting. I hope you listen and apply the tools to your family.

Great book, will test

Sounds great, and the few things I've already put into practice are working. She convinced me enough that I plan to outline the book and memorize the tools and strategies and when and how to use them. The real test of the book is how it works in practice, and I will find that out.

There is a little cheesiness to get past, but don't let it bother you.

Great tools

Liked the book. It comes with plenty of tools, I wish I had the physical book instead of the audiobook. I tried to follow some url links suggested but they no longer exist.

very helpful book that I hope to re read again

I liked the useful real life examples mentioned in the book and very non complicated solutions to them. I recomend it to anyone who wants to become a happier adult/parent and raise a decent human being.

Great advice for every parent

I really enjoyed listening to this audio book. I could picture myself in many situations mentioned here, and I agree with the tools it gives us to manage each situation. I recommend to every family with kids.
