Book overview

A revised and updated edition of the Positive Discipline classic, helping parents connect with their children to support their social, emotional, and cognitive development and set them up for a lifetime of success.

Over the years millions of parents have used the effective strategies of Positive Discipline to raise happy, responsible, and confident children. Research has shown that the first three years in a child's life are a critical period in their development, and that relationship and behavior patterns instilled during that time can have profound implications for the rest of a child's life.

The updated advice in Positive Discipline: The First Three Years helps parents set effective boundaries, forge strong foundations for healthy communication, and lay the groundwork for positive relationships with their young children, with new readable and actionable content like:

  • Recognizing and managing anxiety in children
  • How to deal with sleep issues, tantrums, and defiance
  • The importance of kind and firm parenting to support secure attachment
  • Updated research on screentime
  • And how parents can regulate their own behavior to avoid yelling, shaming, and other counterproductive responses

It also includes a section on how Positive Discipline techniques can be used to support social emotional skills and language development in children. With this revision, a new generation of parents will be able to discover evidence-based strategies that foster mutual respect.
