Seller's description:
Over the past thirty-five years, Between Parent and Child has helped millions of parents around the world strengthen their relationships with their children. Written by renowned psychologist Dr. Haim Ginott, this revolutionary book offered a straightforward prescription for empathetic yet disciplined child rearing and introduced new communication techniques that would change the way parents spoke with, and listened to, their children. Dr. Ginott’s innovative approach to parenting has influenced an entire generation of experts in the field, and now his methods can work for you, too. In this revised edition, Dr. Alice Ginott, clinical psychologist and wife of the late Haim Ginott, and family relationship specialist Dr. H. Wallace Goddard usher this bestselling classic into the new century while retaining the book’s positive message and Haim Ginott’s warm, accessible voice. Based on the theory that parenting is a skill that can be learned, this indispensable handbook will show you how to:• Discipline without threats, bribes, sarcasm, and punishment• Criticize without demeaning, praise without judging, and express anger without hurting • Acknowledge rather than argue with children’s feelings, perceptions, and opinions• Respond so that children will learn to trust and develop self-confidence

- The classic guide to raising respectful humans
What's the best way to teach children to respect people? Demonstrate respect for their humanity and individuality in your interaction with them. It sounds easy, but is truly a challenge! If you want to teach your children about discipline without resorting to punishment or bribes or yelling, then this is a terrific place to begin.

- I have a history with this book
My mother told me this story once upon a time. We had gone to the library, as we often did, and when we went to the checkout counter, we put our pile of books on the counter. I looked at the books she was borrowing and I saw Between Parent and Child. "Oooh, are you borrowing this book gain?" "Yes." "Good. You're always so much nicer to me after you've read it." I don't know that parents must always be nice to their children but I do know that this book obviously had a positive effect on my relationship between myself and my mother. As a five or six year old, I experienced the benefits of Ginott's guidance and I appreciated it. When I became a parent, I sought out this book and I read it more than once because I knew it had touched a positive note in my own heart as a child and I wanted that same experience to be a part of my children's lives. Now I am buying the book for my son in anticipation of his being as wonderful a father as I have tried to raise him to be. I wish I had applied Ginott's teachings more fully but I was/am highly flawed as a parent. Still, with this book in hand, I had a foundation that made me a better parent than I might have been otherwise and I am thrilled this book is still available to be shared with future generations of parents.

- Truly a life changing experience
I have lived my parenting life suffused with guilt over the times I have hurt my daughter's feelings with yelling, demands and recriminations over her behavior. Reading this book was a life changing experience for both me and my husband. In the few weeks since I have read this book, life in my home has changed dramatically. I now have the tools to relate effectively to my daughter. I understand WHY she reacts to situations as she does and can handle redirect her anger, fear or sadness simply by letting her know that I understand and sympathize. We are all happier and more secure - this book has truly changed my entire way of thinking.

- A little more the "gently" used.
The book itself so far is great. However, I would have ordered a new one had I known that "gently" used meant that it was colored on and had part of the cover missing.
