Parent

The most straightforward "how to" manual for loving your toddler
Reviewer: Tara from Redmond, WA
There are two books that have made a profound impact on me as a first time parent of a now 17.5 month old: The Continuum Concept by Jean Liedloff and this. Janet Matson explains in no nonsense terms exactly how to avoid what Jean Liedloff describes as being too child-centered. Back to Basics Discipline is so well written I was able to implement her ideas almost immediately - with great results right away. I now spend my days loving my toddler and looking forward to spending time with him.

Teacher

Raising Confident, Responsible Children

Reviewer: Dian J. Pizurie from Riverside, California
Janet Matson writes common sense advice about a subject often fraught with misinformation and flavor-of-the-month approaches. Every person who has children, might have them someday, or is just around children on a daily basis needs to own this easy-to-read, practical handbook for growing happy children into productive adults. I loved every chapter, and I totally agree with all Janet's advice. Teachers, as well as parents, will find helpful ideas on how to achieve control without crushing a child's spirit. This is a great gift for potential parents! I am a parent, grandparent, and high school teacher, and I will be implementing Janet's advice in my classroom tomorrow. What's more, I'm going to recommend it to some parents because this book will help even those with teenage children!

Book Reviewer

How To Control Children & Retain Their Respect

"Back To Basics Discipline" is the best book I have ever read about successful parenting. A step by step method is furnished that any parent can understand and apply to raising their own children. The noteworthy work will open the eyes of many parents about instilling self-control, honesty, and respect in their offspring. The book is a totally complete guide for creating a positive home environment blossoming with love and respect. This is a must-read for parents desiring their children to be controlled in a loving environment and growing up to be good citizens.

Parenting Questions and Answers


Many parents find discipline to be frustrating – often due to little or no results.  Do you find this true for you?

Answer:  Most likely you are not being consistent.  Chapter 4 in Back to Basics Discipline discusses how to accomplish this.

Improper use of a time-out is a common mistake.  Do you know how to use a time-out effectively?

Answer:  A time-out should involve removing a child from an enjoyable activity.  Sitting him in the corner or his room for quiet time may be sending him the wrong message.  Read Chapter 3 of Back to Basics Discipline for more on this discussion.

When you discipline your child does he know it’s because of his behavior, or does he think it’s because you are angry?  Do you know the critical aspects of anger and discipline?

Answer:  Rule 4 of the Seven Golden Rules in Back to Basics Discipline states “Never punish when you’re angry”.  There is a detailed explanation of the consequences of punishing when you are angry and what you should do.  

It has been reported that over 70% of parents believe that spanking is an effective method of discipline.  If you are considering this method do you know the limitations and guidelines for spanking?

Answer:  Chapter 3 gives plenty of discussion on this subject along with a frequently asked questions and answers section.

Starting early is the key to success.  Children give clear signals that it’s time to start disciplining, do you know what they are and what you should do about them?

Answer: Rule 1 –Start Early, of the Seven Golden Rules is listed first for a reason.   You are teaching by your inaction (allowing them to get away with something-turning a blind eye) just as much as you do with your actions and words.

  Do parents need to be on their kids constantly?  Is everything about discipline?

Answer: Focus on the big picture. Information in Chapter 5 discusses the importance of focusing on the big picture.  The importance of your child talking back or having an attitude versus having a clean room is used as an example in Back to Basics Discipline.

Are your actions, reactions, and how you interact in front of your child that important?  Shouldn’t your child just mind you?

Answer:  Things you do have the potential of teaching your child something, good or bad, that can stay in his mind forever.  Chapter 8 in Back to Basics Discipline tells you the importance of things like, Power of your smile, Negative images, Keep Disagreements Private, and many more valuable things you need to know to raise a wonderful child.

How important is a sibling relationship?

Answer:  It is very important as they can rely on each other throughout life for unconditional love and support.  Read Chapter 7 to see what you can do to nurture this relationship.

   

 

 

                    From the Author  

If you are one of a growing number of people experiencing discipline problems with their children and are looking for parenting solutions, I wrote Back to Basics Discipline for you.

People often regard discipline in either of two extremes.  On one end of the spectrum is the parent who is too tolerant and permissive.  And at the other end of the spectrum is the parent who is too strict and overbearing.  This book is neither.  It offers a no-nonsense approach that is firm, but loving – and best of all, it gets results.

Using real life examples, I show you how for each disciplinary event there is a specific lesson learned that is directly related to the development of character in children.  Often, advice parents are getting from the experts today is focused on getting a child’s cooperation through explaining and negotiating.  Discipline is not about getting cooperation – it’s about instilling respect, responsibility, self-control, honesty and compassion.  

Back to Basics Discipline is a little book with a big message – and will not waste your time. Best of all it will appeal to your own parenting instincts.  Many of my readers have commented, “Yes, this rings true for me!”  

This book is for people who want their kids to mind – kids who are well-mannered at home, in school and in public.  Back to Basics Discipline will eliminate the fear and guilt often associated with disciplining children because it helps parents understand why disciplined children are happier children.  I must warn you - be prepared to receive compliments on a daily basis on what good children you have!
