Have the Terrible Twos become the Terrifying Threes, Fearsome Fours, Frightening Fives, and beyond? Elizabeth Pantley, creator of the No-Cry revolution, gives you advice for raising well-behaved children, from ages 2 through 8

In The No-Cry Discipline Solution, parenting expert Elizabeth Pantley shows you how to deal with your child's behavior. Written with warmth but based in practicality, Elizabeth shows you how to deal with childhood's most common behavioral problems:

"Pantley applies succinct solutions to dozens of everyday-problem scenarios--from backtalk to dawdling to lying to sharing to screaming--as guides for readers to fashion their own responses.
Pantley is a loving realist who has managed, mirabile dictu, to give disciplinarianism a good, warm name."
--Kirkus

"While many books on discipline theory are interesting and enlightening, parents often struggle finding a way to apply the theories. Pantley’s advice is practical and specific. If ever trapped on a desert island with a bunch of kids, this is among the most useful books you could bring along."
--Tera Schreiber, Mom Writer’s Literary Magazine

What Customers Say About The No-Cry Discipline Solution: Gentle Ways to Encourage Good Behavior Without Whining, Tantrums, and Tears: Foreword by Tim Seldin (Pantley):

Elizabeth Pantly does an excellent job in providing parents examples with useful tools that not only will significantly reduce the amount of crying involved when raising children, but will also help them to focus on love and nurture. This is a well-written book that will no doubt become a handy manual for all parents. The chief technique, of course, is to unconditionally love your child and it follows that the child who feels loved will be a much more agreeable child. The techniques she presents allow parents to caution and specifically deal with their child to modify unwanted behaviors while establishing a strong and loving relationship. Jeffrey L. Fine, PhD, Psychologist: Author of: - "The Art of Conscious Parenting"

But it does work. (Yes, it was my fault that he was swearing. If jumping up and down, screaming, spanking, bribing, grounding, reward charting and other energy-draining methods don't seem to be having any effect, how can keeping your cool possibly work. Sometimes people think of "gentle discipline" as passive, permissive or "less-than", traditional authoritarian methods. Pantley's book starts by covering "Essential Parenting Attitudes" to help you think about what you are really trying to achieve outside of resolving the immediate problem. Don't worry, it is not too late. I had to reference this section last year when my almost-two year old started dropping f-bombs. The last section of the book covers common discipline problems such as biting, fighting, messiness and swearing and offers suggestions about how to implement gentle discipline in this instances.

Her suggestions worked very quickly with no drama or pain for either me or my son.This book is great to have as a reference for specific problems, but it is even better for new parents to read BEFORE they have any problems. The book doesn't stop there and leave you hanging in the theoretical, she covers skills and tools you can use to get through daily life with children and dramatically decrease the tears and anger from both you and your children. Approaching discipline with a long-term view instead of getting trapped in the instances of misbehavior will help you keep yourself in control, recognize a child's cues to head problems off before the situation is out of control and build age-appropriate routines to encourage the behavior you want to see. I meant to quit but multiple international moves and pregnancy nausea are not conducive to quitting, but hearing your two year old say,"WTF" makes it quite easy to go cold turkey). By staying calm in a situation, you are modeling self-discipline and can get control of the situation much easier and faster by not losing control of yourself. Also, throughout the book, stories from her own family and her test families provide real-life examples of successful implementation of the skills and tools that she covers in this book. More than likely, though, if you are looking at buying this book, you are already having problems. This book will help you develop a strategy for maintaining control of yourself, create routines that promote good behavior, fill your "parenting toolbox" with ideas and give you a place to turn when you need some help on a specific issue.

As an educator and author of Black Belt Parenting: The Art of Raising Children for Success, I can really appreciate the wisdom and tactics shared in this book. A must for all parents.Thank You.Black Belt Parenting

I love how it offers techniques to try to avoid problem situations in the first place. This is an awesome book. This book has tons of information and helpful ideas in an easy to read and understand format. I love the parent's comments. It's nice to know that other parents have been where I am and to read their stories is uplifting.

The Pantley series of books seems appealing but I'm finding them a bit pedestrian. The material isn't any better or worse than 'for Dummies' type material.I bought a couple of other Pantley books with this one, but re-thinking that now. Her style and approach doesn't suit me. Seemed a bit dumbed-down.
