Back to Basics Discipline

When Janet Campbell Matson was on the verge of becoming a grandmother for the first time, this mom of four began jotting down notes for her expectant daughter. As Matson began writing about the rules of discipline as practiced by her mother and herself, more and more information surfaced; she soon realized she had enough material for a book.

Back to Basics Discipline: A Program to Raise Extraordinary Children is the result of generations of success in bringing up children. Matson, who is a mother and grandmother, has used the experience of the generations before her--as well as her own--to write this no-nonsense, down-to-earth approach to parenting. What started out as a few notes, quickly became an easy-to read guide on raising well-mannered children.

In this invaluable resource, you'll learn:
-How to make sure your children are of good character
-When to use a timeout or a spanking¡ªand how to know which is appropriate
-What five behaviors should be strictly forbidden
-The importance of sibling relationships¡ªand how to nurture them
-How to create a warm, loving, and happy home environment

Back to Basics Discipline will take the fear and guilt out of discipline and replace them with confidence and commitment. It is a must for parents and anyone looking for a way to raise exceptional children.
