| Summary |
The key to positive discipline is not punishment, Jane Nelsen tells us, but mutual respect. Nelsen coaches parents and teachers to be both firm and kind, so that any child--from a three-year-old toddler to a rebellious teenager--can learn creative cooperation and self-discipline with no loss of dignity. |
