Product Description
Caring for young children is one of the most challenging tasks an adult will ever face. No matter how much you love your child, there will be moments filled with frustration, anger, and even desperation. There will also be questions: Why does my four-year-old deliberately lie to me? Why won’t my three-year-old listen to me? Should I ever spank my preschooler when she is disobedient? Over the years, millions of parents just like you have come to trust the Positive Discipline series and its commonsense approach to child-rearing.
Now completely updated to report the latest research in child development and learning, Positive Discipline for Preschoolers will teach you how to use methods to raise a child who is responsible, respectful, and resourceful. You’ll find practical solutions for how to:
- Avoid the power struggles that often come with mastering sleeping, eating, and potty training
- See misbehavior as an opportunity to teach nonpunitive discipline—not punishment
- Instill valuable social skills and positive behavior inside and outside the home by using methods that teach important life skills
- Employ family and class meetings to tackle behavorial challenges
- And much, much more!
This revised and updated third edition includes information from the latest research on neurobiology, diet and exercise, gender differences and behavior, the importance of early relationships and parenting, and new approaches to parenting in the age of mass media. In addition, this book offers new information on reducing anxiety and helping children feel safe in troubled times.

Excellent Book for Parents and Teachers of Preschoolers August 15, 2010

Positive Discipline for Preschoolers is a wonderful guide for parents and teachers who want to lead their children on the path of good behavior without yelling. It is a book that emphasizes respect, patience, and humor. Many topics are covered, including hitting, bedtime battles, and non-cooperation. Suggestions are given as to how to handle each situation. There is a nice chart called the "Mistaken Goal Chart" which is useful in understanding why a child might be misbehaving, and the best response a parent or teacher could take to help the child behave.
Preschool teachers will find the school scenarios useful in handling common situations. I liked the one where a child was refusing to come in after recess. Instead of getting angry and having a battle over the situation, the teacher played a silly game.
As a parent, I find myself using many of the suggestions that had been offered. For example, instead of using punitive time outs, which often resulted in battles over getting my children to serve them, I tell them to cool off in Antartica. Sometimes I even take a trip to Antartica! Using humor instead of anger has really helped me become a better parent.
Positive Discipline for Preschoolers will give caregivers ideas for how to give respectful and often humorous guidance to their children. It is a book I highly recommend.
Paradigm shift March 23, 2010

The word 'discipline' is so often misunderstood or synonymous with 'negative' and 'punitive.' This classic book, in all it's versions (and I do highly recommend reading the various versions) led to a real paradigm-shift in my life. Nelson finds a brilliant but simple way of describing a positive, loving, kind--but firm approach to helping children learn appropriate behavior.
Originally, I'd just purchased the A-Z version of the book but ended up buying each age-appropriate version and they are worth it. Although the principles are identical, the specific age examples really helped me to implement the ideas with greater success because I was more confident that what I was expecting from my child was realistic, given her developmental capacity.

Jane Nelson is a wonderful author. I have used her philosophy in my classroom and at home. It works well. However, as with anything, you can't follow it word for word - you hvae to use your best mommy judgement sometimes :)!

I think they are better ways to raise your children with respect than to not give them any consequences for their actions. If my children are fighting, I am too go and hug both of them and tell them how much I love them both and it stops? The culture we live in promises there will be consequences for actions, good or bad. I'd like my children to grow up with a sense of respect as well as a sense of realism regarding life. If they flunk out of college no one is going to pat them on the head and explain the benefits of a decent education. I thought this book was ridiculous and I wondered if the authors even have children.
