Discipline That Lasts a LifetimeDiscipline That Lasts a Lifetime (Servant Books, 2003) focuses directly on discipline, answering over 100 of the most common, and most frustrating discipline questions parents ask. Sibling Quibbling, Backtalk, Bedtime Badtimes, Temper Tempests, Whining, Birth Order, "Strong-Willed" conduct ― if kids do it, and parents face it ― Discipline That Lasts a Lifetime aims to answer it. As with all my books and tapes, this book comes with my "Talk Show Guarantee" ― your kids will never appear on any afternoon TV talk show, on stage that is. I can't do anything about them wanting to sit in the audience.

Packed with plenty of real life ideas, this book will improve your self-confidence, authority and peace of mind as a parent. Shunning psychobabble and psychological correctness, its goal is to put the grown up in the family in charge. And when parents rule with love and discipline, children benefit in ways that last a lifetime.

Topics include:

  • Discipline is love in action
  • Psychological correctness and other disciplinary worries
  • Discipline and the nature of kids
  • Misbehavior in word and deed
  • Disciplining against the flow

Back to the FamilyIn Back to the Family, America's quiet experts on the family are finally speaking out. Selected by the National-State Teachers of the Year, one hundred outstanding families share their wisdom and experience. They have opened their homes and hearts to talk about their fears and frustrations and how they were resolved. The parents discussed when and where they disagreed with the experts, how they reached unreachable adolescents, how house rules were established, and what discipline proved most effective in handling everything from a child's first temper tantrum through his first date, and beyond. The children's perspective on what makes a family strong was sought. In short, this book shows how successful families live and love.
