Disciplining children is arguably one of the hardest skills for parents to learn. As a parent herself, Elizabeth Pantley knows what a challenge it is to establish good discipline, and she shares the hard-won wisdom of her experience with parents in this latest edition to her revolutionary "no-cry" approach to parenting. In this case, we have no doubt she’s saving parents from tears, too! Elizabeth Pantley’s approach to this age-old problem is unique because she doesn’t rely on old discipline models that often make parents feel like the bad guy. Instead, she gives parents the communication tools they need to stop bad behavior in its tracks and gain a deeper understanding of what triggers a child to act out. Any parent will appreciate the focus on love and nurturing in this wholly practical and much-needed addition to the child care shelf.
A Special Message from Elizabeth Pantley to Amazon.com Readers
 As a mom of four, two boys and two girls, I know that raising children is a unique experience every day. Our children bring us a level of joy, and a depth of love, that nothing else in our history has prepared us for. They change us as human beings, and we can never go back to who we were before they entered our lives. We love our children intensely, yet every day life with them can be challenging, frustrating and exhausting. All day, every day, there are so many things we must get our children to do--or stop from doing. Beginning with getting them out of bed in the morning, and ending with putting them to bed at night (and often, not even then), our job involves an incredible amount of organization, guidance, direction and connection. And all that requires a brilliance and stamina that we never knew we possessed, but somehow must find. I spend my time surrounded by parents, children and families. I’ve worked with hundreds of "Test Parents" from all over the world during my book writing process. And of course, I have my very own "laboratory" in my home. So I have a very good idea of the top issues that all parents share. I research the best answers that support positive, nurturing, "No-Cry" parenting ideals and share those answers with my readers in my books. I hope that I can help you to find the solutions to the parenting challenge that you are facing today. Hugs,
Elizabeth
Product Description
Winner of the Disney’s iParenting Media Award for Best Product Have the Terrible Twos become the Terrifying Threes, Fearsome Fours, Frightening Fives, and beyond? Elizabeth Pantley, creator of the No-Cry revolution, gives you advice for raising well-behaved children, from ages 2 through 8 In The No-Cry Discipline Solution, parenting expert Elizabeth Pantley shows you how to deal with your child's behavior. Written with warmth but based in practicality, Elizabeth shows you how to deal with childhood's most common behavioral problems: - Tantrums
- Sleep issues
- Backtalk
- Hitting, Kicking and Hair Pulling
- Sibling fights
- Swearing
- Dawdling
- Public misbehavior
- Whining ... and more!
"Pantley applies succinct solutions to dozens of everyday-problem scenarios--from backtalk to dawdling to lying to sharing to screaming--as guides for readers to fashion their own responses.
Pantley is a loving realist who has managed, mirabile dictu, to give disciplinarianism a good, warm name."
--Kirkus "While many books on discipline theory are interesting and enlightening, parents often struggle finding a way to apply the theories. Pantley’s advice is practical and specific. If ever trapped on a desert island with a bunch of kids, this is among the most useful books you could bring along."
--Tera Schreiber, Mom Writer’s Literary Magazine

 Good ideas, typical Pantley style July 6, 2010
Big time reader (Kansas City, MO USA)
This book has some really great ideas for helping your child avoid troublesome behavior. I haven't quite finished the book yet but have successfully used several of the techniques. It is the typical, loving parenting style that Pantley also uses in her no-cry sleep solution book and I really like her gentle tips and reasoning for using them. Like I said, I haven't finished the book but so far I find it lacking in good tools for WHAT to do when your child inevitably acts out after trying all the avoidance tactics (which is what I need most). This is why I give it only four stars. I hope as I read on I will find that my review needs correction and I will do so as applicable.
 A bit simplistic, but offers good tools May 26, 2010

I read Pantley's No Cry Sleep Solution and found it very helpful. This one, not quite as much. Reading through the first few chapters I felt she over simplified with lots of large generalizations like "Relax", "Live in the Moment", "You'll Get Through It", "Give the Small Stuff Small Attention". I think it's all great advice, but it seemed too much and too simplified to have much impact. What I was really looking for was how to start establishing good discipline habits with my 18-month-old so that she knows I love her, but I don't get mowed over in the process (because I'm a total softy). Most of Pantley's suggestions, however, are geared towards toddlers old enough to have at least a simple conversation and a smidgen of reasoning capabilities. I will probably pick this book up again, because she did have some great tools, but once my daughter is 2.5-3 years old. I also have to say that Pantley doesn't really talk about dealing with particularly difficult situations. She does have a chapter on anger and ways to deal with anger, which may be helpful for some parents.
 Need to get down to earth ? April 25, 2010

This book is heartwarming. I picked it up once again at the end of an exhausting sunny day with two healthy and very strongwilled little ones. To the question : "can a four year old drive you bananas ?" the answer is definitely yes. She knows...
What I find in this book are not solutions (like in the sleep solutions), but very down to earth, understanding statements about life with children. That helps a lot. It's like talking to an old friend, putting events back into perspective and everybody to his place. No idealistic nonsense like "just relax and watch them grow", no supernanny magic, just plain encouragement to walk this road through life with them, they're worth the effort.
Thanks Elizabeth, to walk with us, today the issue was roughhousing, tomorrow it will be something else, I'll come back to your kind words in the next days or weeks for sure.
An Excellent Book with Practical Ways to Encourage Good Behavior March 30, 2010

The No-Cry Discipline Solution is an excellent book for parents of children ages two through seven who wish to guide their children on the road of good behavior without yelling at them or spanking them. It is divided into four parts: The Foundations for No-Cry Discipline, Skills and Tools, Staying Calm and Avoiding Anger, and Specific Solutions for Everyday Problems. In the first section, there is a chart showing typical older child/teenager misbehavior, preferred behavior, and how to help your young child develop the preferred behavior. This chart has some very good advice and is easy to use as a quick reference. At the end of the second section, Ms. Pantley provides a reminder page of 24 parenting skills and tools that can be used to discipline your child. This is another great quick-reference page.
A good portion of the book covers anger management. Ms. Pantley acknowledges that anger is normal. There isn't a parent alive who doesn't get angry at his/her children. The key is managing it. There are several good strategies listed for doing this. As with the rest of the book, there is a useful reminder page of things to do for quick reference.
In the last section, specific problems are listed in alphabetical order. Under each problem, there is a "Think about it section" which helps a parent understand the reason for the misbehavior, a "What to do" section with suggestions to encourage good behavior, and a "What Not to Do" section. Just about every bad behavior is listed, from biting to not wanting a bath.
As a parent, I find myself returning to this book when dealing with specific behavior issues with my children. This is not a book you read once, then put on a shelf. While I feel that the title "No-cry Discipline" is a little misleading (your kids will cry!), I would still highly recommend this book for all parents with young children.

This was my second book by Pantley and I was not at all disappointed. Every bit as good as her No-Cry Sleep Solution, The No-Cry Discipline Solution is full of common sense techniques on how to gently and positively discipline your child without yelling, anger or hitting. The book is broken down into four segments: essential parenting attitudes, parenting skills and tools, how to manage your own anger, and solutions for your most common discipline problems.
I've started incorporating many of her ideas into our family life. It's still a work in progress but I'm already seeing progress in how I interact with my children - particularly my six year old whom I but heads with more than I would like. And just like the NCSS, I'm sure that the longer we use her techniques and they become second nature, things will only get better. If you want to arm yourself with the parenting skills designed to help you raise happy healthy kids, with none of the anger and resentment that many other techniques result in, you need not look further.
