McKay, Matthew - When Anger Hurts Your Kids Nelsen, Jane - all Positive Discipline books (note: the ones for younger children are not AP), and Jodi's fav Positive Discipline A to Z Neufeld, Gordon and Gabor Mate - Hold On To Your Kids - jujubnme says, "He talks about parent-orientation vs. peer-orientation. Very insightful, and good information on parenting from connection. Although it applies for all ages, it's an excellent resource for parents of school-aged kids." Pantley, Elizabeth - Kid Cooperation: How to Stop Yelling, Nagging & Pleading and Get Kids to Cooperate - kauaidee says, "She does recommend time outs but I found overall her discipline style very gentle. It is one of the most practical books I've read which is what I need right now. I feel like I've got the concept of GBD down but I need ideas and this one gave me lots. Plus she also had a chapter on dealing with anger as a parent which is something I struggle with."; The No-Cry Discipline Solution; and Perfect Parenting: The Dictionary of 1,000 Parenting Tips Q-T Sears, William - The Discipline Book and The Successful Child Tobias, Cynthia Ulrich - You Can’t Make Me But I Can Be Persuaded Turansky, Scott and Joanne Miller - Say Goodbye to Whining, Complaining and Bad Attitudes...in You and Your Kids U-Z Whitehurst, Teresa - Jesus on Parenting Wyckoff, Jerry and Barbara C. Unell - Discipline Without Shouting or Spanking Not discipline but awesome for every parent: DeBecker, Gavin - Protecting the Gift Cloud, Henry and John Townsend - Boundaries - cornflower says, "I've heard that Boundaries with Kids is punitive, though, so perhaps stay away from it." VanVonderen, Jeff - Families Where Grace is in Place For kids: Bang, Molly - When Sophie Gets Angry--Really, Really Angry... Fox, Mem - Harriet You'll Drive Me Wild! - ShangriLewis says, "It's about a mom who yells after having a lot of patience with a normal little girl, and then they have a big pillow fight. I'm not sure if everyone would like that or not. But, it was good for us because yelling is my downfall. I read that one and the Molly Bang one everynight for Porter for almost 2 years. He loved those books and they were good for me, too." Joose, Barbara M. - Mama, Do You Love Me? - jujubnme says, "A little Native Alaskan girl asks her mother if she loves her and quizzes her about a bunch of 'what if' situations--one of my favorites: 'What if I put salmon in your parka, ermine in your mittens and lemmings in your mukluks?' The mother answers 'I would be angry [or surprised, worried, etc. in other scenarios]. But still I would love you.' It's very sweet and Julius liked all the arctic animals." |

Re: Gentle/Positive Discipline Books
I would like to recommend Pinky McKay. An Australian IBCLC and 'go to' woman on all gentle parenting concepts.
Her books include Parenting By Heart, Toddler Tactics, Sleeping like a Baby and 100 Ways to Calm the Crying. She also has a lovely Facebook page & website & has occasional free teleseminars on parenting topics (sleep, breastfeeding, early days, discipline, toddler issues etc) and I have found them incredibly helpful. She also has a 'mummy mentoring' program you can subscribe to in order to get more personal assistance. I just love her! |
Re: Gentle/Positive Discipline Books
Pinky McKay. I will def. look her up on facebook. Thank you!
