Out of Control: Why Disciplining Your Child Doesn't Work... and What Will

I’m half way through the book great reading makes a lot of sense for parents with children of any age

very easy to read and to understand, gives good advises about how to resolve some parenting issues. loved reading it.

Great parenting book. I really recommend it to any parent of any age.

I really enjoyed this book.I have been putting into practice the approaches Dr Shiva recommends and I am experiencing the benefits for both me & my children

Brilliant book!

Great quality book, arrived on time.

Whilst I agree in principle with the tenets behind this book, I have to say I find it very short on actual helpful strategies. You could jump to the last couple of chapters and glean the major messages of this book. Essentially stay calm, be patient and if you can't, walk away until you can. Give your children some love and let them talk and make sure you listen. "How to talk so your kids will listen..." Would be a better spend in my view, that gives some useful methods to actually use with your children. Also the age old phrase of "don't sweat the small stuff" could be applied and cover many pages of this tome...I do like the idea of not trying to project one's ideas onto your child this gets covered in great detail and will actually change the way I parent.

Good book

Fantástico libro para aquellos padres que no encuentran soluciones a los problemas con lo hij@s.

This was an incredible book for me. My son’s meltdowns were progressively getting more and more explosive. I had gotten this book when my kids were toddlers. During one of his meltdowns when I didn’t have a clue of how we got there…I grabbed the book. Looked in the table of contents for what I was seeing. Throwing, hitting…. Opened and quickly read the chapters. Low and behold, I had unconsciously screwed up. He was so frustrated and disconnected from not being heard. I fixed the situation at hand. And then consciously worked on myself moving forward. It was bumpy and messy. But the meltdowns decreased significantly and now they are not explosive. We talk about how we feel in the moment and my kiddo gets to voice his disdain for a situation with a safe adult. I highly recommend. I’m pretty sure it diverted us from and admission from day rehab. It was getting that scary.

This book gives great solutions and explanations for children and parent relationships. It gives very useful tools and practices in a simple way that works.

Kein Standard Erziehungshelfer. Der Blick geht hier in erster Linie auf die Arbeit, die man als Elternteil zu leisten hat (was man bei einem selber ändern oder ergründen muss).Viele Beispiele, nicht nur Theorie.Es ist das beste zu dem Thema was ich gelesen habe.Ich könnte mir vorstellen dass es nicht jedem gefällt, da man einen kritischen Blick auf sich selbst werden muss, wer aber offen dafür ist der wird eine Menge Aha-Momente erleben.Es liest sich sehr gut und es gibt auch keinen belehrenden Ton. Die Autorin schreibt mit sehr viel Verständnis und Umsicht.

Good parenting book.
