“This book will explain why today’s children are more willful, more difficult to raise and more psychologically feeble than children forty years ago. Then I will show you how to change the way we raise these children to assure they become stronger, healthier and happier. I will show you how to prevent and turn around relatively minor problems”

“If James didn’t sit down within five seconds of being told, the consequence shifted to two minutes. If the behaviorist had to physically bring him to the time out spot, the consequences shifted to five minutes. If James wouldn’t sit quietly on his own and needed to be held, the behaviorist held him firmly and silently until James had stopped struggling and was quiet and then he required James to sit quietly for five minutes while he held him loosely and five minutes quietly on his own.”
― Joe Newman, Raising Lions: The Art of Compassionate Discipline
