Discipline Me Right: Tips from Teens for Parents

by Mary Simmons, Bert Simmons

In America today, 40 percent of parents have no idea what to do with their children when they misbehave. Discipline Me Right is the tool parents need to properly discipline their children. When Mary Simmons polled her high school classes to find out what they thought was the most important commandment of parenting, the evidence was children (even teenagers) crave appropriate, consistent discipline. As a parent and a teacher, Mary Simmons brings her expertise to a book that all parents can learn from. Learn Increase respect, Build trust, Set and enforce rules, Use appropriate rewards and privileges, and Deal with temper tantrums. Many parents, too afraid of being politically incorrect, fail to provide children with the discipline they need and want. Mary Simmons advocates for parents to step up and reclaim their parental authority. Being firm and consistent with your children will not only teach them to behave but also reassure them that you love them something every parent wants his child to know.

I was two classes shy of a double major in Child Development when I graduated college 2 years ago. I really like this book because the parenting style and discipline methods made so much sense and were in harmony with what I'd spend a few years studying. I don't even have kids yet, but I've got a copy on my shelf so I'm prepared. An excellent book. Definitely keeping this one.

I didn't finish this book and I don't plan on it.
