"I love the whole idea and I have been trying to use them with my son. I have been trying really hard to not bribe and instead giving praises and rewards when he does something good without being prompted to. My son just turned 2 and I have been seeing a big improvement. He still of course has his melt downs and such, but I do notice that on the days I really focus on praising and such, he doesn't have very many tantrums if any at all. I think your book will be something every parent should read, especially first time parents! I wish I had known all this before I had my son because it's easier to decide a plan and stick with it instead of trying to change everything you have already been doing. Such as we decided to try and avoid the word no except for dangerous situations, instead we would say "uh-oh so sorry" and now my son is 2 and has never said the word no! If I had read this book I would probably be able to say that we never had a behavior problem with him! Today so many parents don't discipline and that's so wrong and this book really helps you see that you don't really have to be a bad guy, but you do need to set boundaries and keep them as well as reward and praise often when they do good things."
