Can you recommend a book dealing with discipline?

[Gem13]

I saw one Ghosty had written about the other day - 'I love you now go to your room'! - which appealed on the basis of the title alone.

Can anyone recommend their favourite? I could do with some new ideas for a 3 year old boy (various issues, rough play, 'no', general bolshiness, staying in bed, etc, etc.) and am interested to see who mumsnetters rate from their experience.

Have you heard of 'Toddler Taming' by Christopher Green, a parents guide to the first four years? It has some good practical advice on some of the issues you mentioned. You should be able to check it out on Amazon.

Thanks macwoozy - yes, I've looked at that one. Also, Steve Biddulph's 'The Secrets of Happy Children'.

It's more for that general horribleness that can overcome them sometimes. When you think there's something behind it, e.g. starting playschool but you still need to keep on top of them.

I used this - sti;ll use it now 0 fantastic - works mainly on basis of time out but it is VERY effective.

Good Luck

Thanks mummycan. It has rave reviews. Sounds like the kind of book I was after.

Anyone else, before I order it from Amazon?

Shouldn't that title be "I love you now go to your room - Mummy needs a large glass of wine"

It would be if she wasn't pregnant!

No good at links:
