Rating : - Awesome! I cannot say enough about it.
We have an almost 3 year old that is very stubborn and considered a strong willed child. She would laugh when I would try and put her in time out. My husband and I tried everything. Then I heard from the school about this book. I highlighted it and have now ordered the dvd. I love it. Most of the time I don't even make it to "two." My daughter looks up at me and it is this look of "oh okay she is not kidding now." I use it out in public and is effective too. I get looks of admiration from other parents.
