Product Description

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

The author of The No-Cry Sleep Solution returns with this guide to helping parents remain in control of their two-to -eight-year-olds. A child, Pantley points out, is emotion in motion. She provides a variety of techniques to help rein in out-of-control children, based on a four-part plan that corrects the current behavior, teaches a lesson, helps the child learn control and builds the relationship between the parent and child. Her techniques are not unusual, ranging from telling stories and giving timeout warnings to distractions and simply looking away (Every once in a while, the best thing you can do for family peace is to turn around, pretend you didn't see it, take a deep breath, and move on to something else). Where Pantley does break away from the parenting pack is explaining how parents can control themselves. Her suggestions won't be easy for parents to follow, but they make solid sense. The final part of the guide will be the most thumbed-through section: concrete advice for specific problems such as bossiness, sleep issues and sibling disagreements. Attachment parents as well as those looking for a gentle approach will appreciate the wisdom Pantley shares. (July)

Customer Reviews for: The No-Cry Discipline Solution: Gentle Ways to Encourage Good Behavior Without Whining, Tantrums, and Tears (Pantley)

Rating - Not Very Helpful
Well, this book ended up not being what I was looking for. There are actually three reasons why it was a real chore for me to finish reading this book.

First, some of the advice in this book just struck me as being weird. For example, it advises parents to time out themselves when they feel stressed. Some ways in which they can do that are to leave the area where their child is and go to their "special place" where they can relax, for example locking yourself in the bathroom. Another alternative is to listen to music. If you can't escape the area where your child is, then another alternative is to recite ... Read More

Rating - How helpful and enspiring The No-Cry Disipline Book is to me=)
Elizabeth Pantley's No Cry Disipline Solution book, is so inspiring and helpful to me. I am a stay at home mom of 2, my kids are 4 and 1. I am also a day care provider. The kids I watch range from 8mths-5yrs. With all of these children here daily I find this book so helpful! Because as you know, being a mother is a full time job, we are cooks, maids, coaches and also psychologist amongst other things. This book helps me with encouraging ways to disciplining the children. I especially enjoy the section on Planning ahead and looking ahead. Elizabeth shows us ways in order to prepare our children to be successful and well ... Read More

Rating - I wish I could rate it a 10!! The best!!
Elizabeth Pantley is the best! Her ideas and suggested techniques incorporate everyday, simple thought processes which are easy to comprehend and implement. I wouldn't have a bookshelf without at least one of her books! This book is yet another in the line of must-haves for parents of many different types of children. I can't wait for the next one!!
