Product Description
The 7 Basic Skills for Turning Conflict into Cooperation. Have you ever opened your mouth to discipline your child, and your parents' nastiest words tumble out? In an era when most parenting books focus on the child, this book supports parents in dealing more positively with themselves as well as their toddler–to–school–age children, offering specific tools to stop policing and pleading with kids and start being the parents we want to be. Based on Dr. Bailey's more than 25 years of work with children, this book explains that how we discipline ourselves is ultimately how we discipline our children. Her "Seven Powers for Self–Control" dramatically increase our ability to keep our cool with our children. These correspond to "Seven Basic Discipline Skills" we can use with our children in conflict situations. As children internalise these skills, they naturally learn "Seven Values for Living," which include integrity, respect, compassion, and responsibility.

 Great Book, Great concepts July 8, 2008
I use Becky Bailey's Conscious Discipline system in my classroom and it is amazing the differences it can make. But I got this book to help parents see it from the 'home' view as well. she does an excellent job going through this process step by step and giving many different solutions to common discipline problems. I love it!
Great Advice for Gentle Discipline May 5, 2008
We got this book a few weeks ago on the advice of a friend who is an early childhood education specialist, and we have been following the suggestions given by the author. My husband and I have seen positive changes in ourselves, our relationship with each other, and our relationship with our daughter. It takes patience, but the techniques really work over the longer term (it took us about a week to begin to feel that our daughter was less resistant to us, and that we were all working together). And some of the author's suggestions will work immediately. I highly recommend this book.
Easy to Love, Difficult to Discipline May 3, 2008
Becky Bailey has a well written book in this one. Wonderful advice and so appropriate. I'm a preschool teacher and highly recommend this book to parents and teachers alike. The world would be a better place if we practiced these principles.

I originally purchased this book for one of my college courses. As I read it, I learned many new ways to handle discipline problems as well as dealing with my own anger and frustration that often arises from disciplinary situations. I definitely recommend this book to anyone who may be having these type of issues.
All parents need this book April 5, 2008
