Book Reviews of How to Behave So Your Children Will, Too!
Book Review: A must read (and follow) for every parent
Summary: 5 Stars
I was introduced to Mr. Severe's book during a casual encounter at an author signing at a nearby library. His approach to helping parents is the biggest benefit of his book. He explained that he had tried working with children and discovered that if the parents didn't change how they interacted with their children, the problems could not be solved. Therefore, he started having group meetings with parents to discuss their concerns or problems that they were having with their children. The result was different parents providing experiences that had helped with problems that they encountered with their child. His book is the result of his notes from ten years of these parent meetings and discussions with all of these parents. When we first had our daughter Rachael, we did not know how to deal with her when she did not listen to us. His books gave us advise on things to try with our child. One example is that Rachael would come to you on the couch and pull on your finger wanting you to go with her. I then proceeded to tell her no, and she started throwing a fit. I then tried to sooth her and find out what she wanted and I usually ended up being manipulated into doing what she wanted. After reading the book, we created a plan on how to deal with Rachael. 1) think before you answer, 2) You can't change your answer, and 3) stick to it. Then, when Rachael requested for you to come, you said yes if you did not want to hear her cry or you said no and refused to get up. In two weeks she would not throw any fits, if you said no, she just turned around and found something else to entertain herself. His book explained how we can interact with Rachael during the discipline times without getting angry or mad. No more yelling! Rachael now makes her own decisions on everything, but the choices are pre-planned by us. Such as, "leave the book alone, or you will go sit on the couch in the front room". If she than touches the book, she goes to the couch. When she is willing to agree that she will leave the book alone, she can return to the area. No removing the book, or trying to physically prevent her from grabbing the book. She is allowed to grab the book, but she is then put in timeout on the couch. When she returns, it is her decision not to touch the book. This is a great book and I have bought several copies to give them to new parents that I know. Every parent must read this book and try his approach. It is not easy, but your life and relationship with your child will go from hell to heaven when all of the rules are finally learned by everyone.
