Book Reviews of The No-Cry Discipline Solution: Gentle Ways to Encourage Good Behavior Without Whining, Tantrums, and Tears: Foreword by Tim Seldin (Pantley)
Book Review: Helps Parents Approach Discipline with the Right Attitudes, Plus Practical Examples
Summary: 5 Stars
Pantley's book starts by covering "Essential Parenting Attitudes" to help you think about what you are really trying to achieve outside of resolving the immediate problem. Approaching discipline with a long-term view instead of getting trapped in the instances of misbehavior will help you keep yourself in control, recognize a child's cues to head problems off before the situation is out of control and build age-appropriate routines to encourage the behavior you want to see. Sometimes people think of "gentle discipline" as passive, permissive or "less-than", traditional authoritarian methods. If jumping up and down, screaming, spanking, bribing, grounding, reward charting and other energy-draining methods don't seem to be having any effect, how can keeping your cool possibly work? But it does work. By staying calm in a situation, you are modeling self-discipline and can get control of the situation much easier and faster by not losing control of yourself.
The book doesn't stop there and leave you hanging in the theoretical, she covers skills and tools you can use to get through daily life with children and dramatically decrease the tears and anger from both you and your children. Also, throughout the book, stories from her own family and her test families provide real-life examples of successful implementation of the skills and tools that she covers in this book.
The last section of the book covers common discipline problems such as biting, fighting, messiness and swearing and offers suggestions about how to implement gentle discipline in this instances. I had to reference this section last year when my almost-two year old started dropping f-bombs. (Yes, it was my fault that he was swearing. I meant to quit but multiple international moves and pregnancy nausea are not conducive to quitting, but hearing your two year old say,"WTF" makes it quite easy to go cold turkey). Her suggestions worked very quickly with no drama or pain for either me or my son.
This book is great to have as a reference for specific problems, but it is even better for new parents to read BEFORE they have any problems. More than likely, though, if you are looking at buying this book, you are already having problems. Don't worry, it is not too late. This book will help you develop a strategy for maintaining control of yourself, create routines that promote good behavior, fill your "parenting toolbox" with ideas and give you a place to turn when you need some help on a specific issue.

Winner of the Disney's iParenting Media Award for Best Product
Have the Terrible Twos become the Terrifying Threes, Fearsome Fours, Frightening Fives, and beyond? Elizabeth Pantley, creator of the No-Cry revolution, gives you advice for raising well-behaved children, from ages 2 through 8
In The No-Cry Discipline Solution, parenting expert Elizabeth Pantley shows you how to deal with your child's behavior. Written with warmth but based in practicality, Elizabeth shows you how to deal with childhood's most common behavioral problems:
- Tantrums
- Sleep issues
- Backtalk
- Hitting, Kicking and Hair Pulling
- Sibling fights
- Swearing
- Dawdling
- Public misbehavior
- Whining ... and more!
"Pantley applies succinct solutions to dozens of everyday-problem scenarios--from backtalk to dawdling to lying to sharing to screaming--as guides for readers to fashion their own responses.
Pantley is a loving realist who has managed, mirabile dictu, to give disciplinarianism a good, warm name."
--Kirkus
"While many books on discipline theory are interesting and enlightening, parents often struggle finding a way to apply the theories. Pantley's advice is practical and specific. If ever trapped on a desert island with a bunch of kids, this is among the most useful books you could bring along."
--Tera Schreiber, Mom Writer's Literary Magazine
Disciplining children is arguably one of the hardest skills for parents to learn. As a parent herself, Elizabeth Pantley knows what a challenge it is to establish good discipline, and she shares the hard-won wisdom of her experience with parents in this latest edition to her revolutionary "no-cry" approach to parenting. In this case, we have no doubt she's saving parents from tears, too! Elizabeth Pantley's approach to this age-old problem is unique because she doesn't rely on old discipline models that often make parents feel like the bad guy. Instead, she gives parents the communication tools they need to stop bad behavior in its tracks and gain a deeper understanding of what triggers a child to act out. Any parent will appreciate the focus on love and nurturing in this wholly practical and much-needed addition to the child care shelf.
A Special Message from Elizabeth Pantley to Amazon.com Readers
As a mom of four, two boys and two girls, I know that raising children is a unique experience every day. Our children bring us a level of joy, and a depth of love, that nothing else in our history has prepared us for. They change us as human beings, and we can never go back to who we were before they entered our lives. We love our children intensely, yet every day life with them can be challenging, frustrating and exhausting. All day, every day, there are so many things we must get our children to do--or stop from doing. Beginning with getting them out of bed in the morning, and ending with putting them to bed at night (and often, not even then), our job involves an incredible amount of organization, guidance, direction and connection. And all that requires a brilliance and stamina that we never knew we possessed, but somehow must find.
I spend my time surrounded by parents, children and families. I've worked with hundreds of "Test Parents" from all over the world during my book writing process. And of course, I have my very own "laboratory" in my home. So I have a very good idea of the top issues that all parents share. I research the best answers that support positive, nurturing, "No-Cry" parenting ideals and share those answers with my readers in my books.
I hope that I can help you to find the solutions to the parenting challenge that you are facing today.
Hugs,
Elizabeth
