My God What can we do?

Parents across the country are reeling from the terror of two school shootings in less than three weeks. They are asking, "My God, what can we do?" Dr. Nelson, in Good Discipline, Good Kids, has the answer. The children who have been pushed to the breaking point of this kind of violence share a common profile. They show signs of isolation, being bullied or treated as an outsider by their peers, anger or rage, fear or terror of being abandoned and unable to feel the feelings of others.In this quick-read simple guide to good discipline, Dr. Nelson offers a one minute, yes - one minute process in which parents are empowered to connect with their kids, impart family values, instill a conscience in their children, respond to their misbehavior and affirm their good behavior, teach them how to feel other people's feelings, deepen the child's respect and affection for the parent, lessen the child's fear of abandonment and lay a solid foundation for good relationships for the rest of their lives. If you love your kids, get this book!

It works on 8 year olds!

My daughter really has blossomed from being an easy child already into being a dream child as a result of being exposed to Dr. Nelson's amazingly practical, helpful and wise ideas. I have given copies of this book to several friends, and everyone I know who has seen it has been highly complimentary. It's a must have for parents who want to combine heart with excellent behavior in a gentle, effective way. If only it could work with dogs! Good work, Dr. Nelson
