And what did you think?
I loved the book in principle, but am having trouble being endlessly creative in dealing with all the day to day challenges my 3 lovely but "strong-minded" (polite version) dcs present me with.
It seems to take so much energy.
For anyone who hasn't heard of it, it's based on the idea that you can get kids to do what you want by being more playful and not just directing them or arguing with them.
The approach works well with my ds who is off the planet most of the time and loves the crazy scenarios you can create, whereas dd is more serious (like me!) and gets frustrated when I start being "silly" - she seems to prefer a good old conventional argument.
Interested to hear your views.
