revised Common Sense Parenting
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This book is highly recommended for parents that have trouble with raising their children to listen to instruction. The book teaches how to implement consequences, discipline and reward. It is a great book to teach parents how to deal with their children (i.e.-Nanny 911). It has examples of reward charts etc. Highly recommend if you are counseling families as well.
Common Sense Parenting is an enthusiastically recommended fundamental guide.

An Excellent Parenting Resource
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
This excellent book offers parents solutions to common problems, as well as tips for positive guidance and effective praise. The program seems to be designed to encourage parents to expand on their current parenting techniques, rather than abandoning current practices in favor of a "new method." It boosts parents' esteem as well as giving tips on how to boost children's self-esteem. It sits on my shelf next to "1-2-3 Magic!"
WINNER, 1997 NATIONAL PARENTING CENTER SEAL OF APPROVAL
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
The following review was done by the National Parenting Center upon awarding the Common Sense Parenting Book as well as the Common Sense Parenting Audiotape with its coveted Seal of Approval. "When it comes to reading advice about parenting, what we've discovered is that parents like to be spoken to in a direct, common sense manner. No need to use flowery or highbrowed language, just give me some tips and I'll take it from there. Like the name implies, this book and the like-titled audiotape delivers the goods. Common sense tips and good ideas presented in an easy to read and listen to format. Parents mentioned that they really liked the written exercises which serve to help reinforce what you've learned. Here is a logical sensible approach to parenting, featuring good examples that our parents give a thumbs ups."
