review 1: Ain't Misbehavin' by Alyson Schafer from Wiley and Sons Canada 2011Ain't Misbehavin' is the latest of Alyson Schafer's parenting books. Unlike the other 2 books, this one is filled with solutions or suggestions to deal with different behaviours parents encounter on a regular basis. Ain't Misbehavin' groups behaviours by type covering everything from the bedroom to school to sibling rivalry to extra curricular activities. This books need not be read from start to finish if there is an area you really want to challenges in but I recommend reading all of it. Alyson offers suggestions for dealing for with the behaviour when it happens and solution to work towards at reducing and often eliminating unwanted reactions. I really enjoyed the book and am finding Alyson's tips a... morere making life in my home less confrontational even though the gist of it is Mommy Butt Out and that is hard to do after five years. I am a firm believer in having as many tools as you need to keep your family functioning well and Ain't Misbehavin' has found a permanent home in my family library. The concepts are consistent throughout the book and even if you encounter a situation not specifically covered, you can use the techniques explained to work on a solution. Thanks again Alyson.
review 2: I liked this, but didn't love it. While I thought Schafer's practical solutions sounded very workable for most problems and followed the logical consequences theory of parenting (which I love), her over-arcing theory was not one I agree with, i.e. I do not believe that the home should be a democracy in which the kids have a say in the rules. So, all things considered? Worth the read if you want suggestions for solutions to specific problems, but not my favorite parenting book less
