Everything you need to know about discipline to raise a happy, well-adjusted, well-behaved child-from America’s foremost baby and childcare experts

Disciplining children means equipping them with the tools to succeed in life. In this unique guide, Dr. Bill and Martha Sears, the pediatric specialists whose books on birth, babies, and parenting have become widely praised bestsellers, explain what you can do to shape your child’s behavior so that good conduct comes naturally.

With a focus not just on managing behavior problems but also on preventing them, the Searses offer clear, practical advice on a broad range of disciplinary issues, including the following:

The mother’s role vs. the father’s roleDeveloping the connection with your baby that will make discipline easier in years to comeSaying noTaming temper tantrumsSelf-esteem as the foundation of good behaviorHelping a child to express feelingsThe constructive use of angerGood nutrition for good behaviorSleep and nighttime disciplineSibling rivalrySpanking and alternatives to spankingHow to eliminate bothersome behaviors such as whining and talking backHow to respond when your child lies, cheats, or stealsDiscipline after divorce and in the single-parent household

Drawing on nearly thirty years of the Searses’ experience as childcare professionals and as the parents of eight children, The Discipline Book will make you confident in your ability to correct undesirable behavior, to promote good behavior, and to instill the values that will help your child become morally literate.

William Sears, MD, has been advising busy parents on how to raise healthier families for over forty years. He serves as a consultant for television, magazines, radio, and other media, and his website, AskDrSears.com, is one of the most popular health and parenting sites.
