I really like the authors' approach to discipline, so imbued with empathy and love: it's a really innovative approach (that is: discipline is all about teaching, not about punishment), which I already knew from their previous book, No-drama Discipline. The No-Drama Discipline workbook is helping me put those concepts into practice even more effectively, not only with my kids, but also in my job as a preschool teacher.

Through the exercises and reflections of the workbook, I've come to understand how each child is unique, has a different temperament and different needs, which we should take into account when kids misbehave so as to help them more effectively. All behavior is a form of communication, including misbehavior: when a child misbehaves, he does so because he probably needs to learn a variety of abilities: e.g. impulse control, delayed gratification, conflict resolution... In order for the teaching to take place, we should help children move from a reactive to a receptive state by first connecting with them, validating their feelings: the authors help you do this step by step, drawing also on brain science (summarized here and explained more in detail - but always in very simple terms - in the No-Drama Discipine work )!

Besides, I particularly appreciate the attention the authors devote to us, parents and caregivers, for our challenging job: the workbook also has exercises to help us keep calm, but also to forgive ourselves when we lose it and mess up!! I really like this friendly attitude of the authors towards us!

What a great book. As a therapist, I have found this to be a wonderful resource for parents that I work with. 5 stars all the way! Dr Dan never ceases to amaze me. Such a great author and physician. Highly recommend getting your hands on this NY Times Best Seller!

I use the book No Drama Discipline in my parenting education class as part of our high school teen parent program and this workbook has been great to help guide discussions. I have also used the workbook personally and recommend it to friends to improve our own skills as parents. It's a great cheat if you don't have time to read the book.

Really helpful in promoting thoughtful insights into working with children.

Great workbook to go along with the No Drama Discipline book, which is amazing! I definitely recommend this to pair with the book, it really helps you get more out of it.
