All children, especially those in their preschool years, present disciplinary challenges, no matter how perfect the children or parents are. This book provides practical remedies for the most common behavioral problems in healthy children aged one to five. The goal is to show parents how to respond to discipline issues in calm, consistent, and effective ways, without resorting to conflict or spanking. Designed as a handy reference for parents facing daily child-rearing problems, it's like a first-aid book for misbehavior. It acknowledges parents' need for brevity, speed, and direct, practical answers. The book also offers guidance on how to prevent misbehavior and how to solve it when it occurs, citing examples of how families have implemented the proposed disciplinary strategies. These strategies are based on information from the behavioral psychology movement of the 1960s to 1990s, which studied children's behavior in common real-life settings such as homes, schools, and playgrounds. Behavioral psychology aims to provide practical solutions to common problems and measure their effectiveness.
