Notes:
format of original Positive Discipline book is so much easier to read and understand; this version has pointless juvenile cartoon illustrations throughout; has scripture references for the techniques

This would be a great first read for those exploring positive discipline. There wasn't a lot of new information for me personally but was a great refresher. The chapters on misbehavior and family meetings are particularly useful.

I really enjoyed this book and its application to scripture. It helped me see how to apply parenting techniques better and to model after Jesus.
