Brand new softcover book, 298 pages

The No-Cry Discipline Solution is written for parents of children aged two through eight and features a foreword by Tim Seldin, president, The Montessori Foundation and chair, The International Montessori Council.

Nearly all parents acknowledge that while raising children can be the best and most rewarding job of their lives, discipline is often the most complicated, challenging, and frustrating aspect of parenthood.  But how do parents promote good behavior? How can they be firm without shouting and having their child - or themselves - end up in tears? And does discipline really have to be unpleasant to be effective?  

Divided into four parts, No-Cry Discipline begins by looking at essential parenting attitudes to build a strong foundation, banishes the discipline myths, and looks at discipline and emotional control.  Pantley also examines everyday discipline challenges, identifies how to solve the real problem, and demonstrates the key No-Cry Discipline parenting skills and tools to stop the whining, tantrums and tears.  The final parts of the book examine the importance of staying calm and avoiding anger for a peaceful home and how to reduce anger-producing situations.

There is also a dedicated, 'lifesaver' section on specific solutions for those frustrating everyday problems, including such topics as bathtime, biting, car travel, dawdling, hitting, interrupting, lying, manners, mealtime, sharing, sleeping, screaming, and shouting.

Elizabeth Pantley is warmly supportive of parents and she believes that discipline is not about a 'one size fits all' set of rigid guidelines, nor is it about punishment or tears.  She shows parents that discipline is principally about teaching children the rights and wrongs and helping parents to develop their own effective formula of discipline techniques based on the individual temperament and needs of the child.
