Recognizing that all parents will become angry and frustrated with their kids at some point, Disciplining Kids Without Screaming & Scolding teaches adults how to maintain control of situations, communicate love, and instill better behavior. Discipline can be a huge challenge, especially for parents who grew up in an abusive household without a positive parenting model, but in this honest and straightforward program, parents learn the differences between harmful discipline and more healthy and effective ways to treat children. Using the framing device of a parenting class, a diverse group of adults discuss their common frustrations while a facilitator presents clear suggestions for creating a more peaceful home environment. No one can escape occasional negativity, but the program points out that verbal abuse in the form of yelling, threatening, and putdowns are not only ineffective forms of discipline, but also detrimental to a child's psychological development. Breaking out of the critical cycle is an important step toward facilitating good behavior and building healthy relationships with kids. Offering solid tips on effective encouragement, positive vs. negative reinforcement, and rational reprimands, this helpful program is recommended. Aud: P. (E. Gieschen)
