Not sure how to rate this type of book. I really didn't like the author's "voice". It seemed like I was being talked down to the entire time. Also, I had the feeling he was trying to be humorous at times, but wasn't sure. Annoying, really.

On the other hand, there were some useful ideas. For instance, letting a kid goad you into a big emotional outburst or argument is a payoff that only encourages more bad behavior. You may as well give them icecream when they are misbehaving.

If you are looking for a quick and easy way to change a childs behavior without a lot of theory behind the method, this is probably worth reading.
