Temper Your Child's Tantrums: How Firm, Loving Discipline Will Lead to a More Peaceful Home Mass Market Paperback – March 1, 2014

This book is a must. It sticks to conservative Christian values while understanding every parent and child is different. Though the author has an older style of parenting I still felt there was so much to grasp from his knowledge. I definitely recommend this book to new parents (especially those with toddlers!)

I found this book really helpful.As a mom of two, one very strongwilled 6 year old and a four year old who is learning his older one's ways, I feel empowered by the wisdom in this book.It's instructive and non-judgemental.

This is a great book and very helpful

Your children will survive and be better off if you discipline them when they are young. 2 years old is not too young for a spanking.

The book wasn’t too long. It had good biblical based parenting tips. I would like to read some more of his other books. I would recommend this book.

Any book written by Dr. James Dobson is worthy of a good read. I found his advise helpful in raising four children into wonderful adults and I bought to book to pass on to my oldest daughter an her husband to read as they guide their own young son through his growing up years. There are many people giving advise but so few with a strong foundation in the Bible. Dr. Dobson is a Christian and a Psychologist and the combination will offer any reader sound guidance in the heavy task of raising a child in today's world. I hope others will at least read his books and think about them. Children need strong loving parents and not parents who waver with every passing whim of today's society. Enjoy the read.

First purchased this book when I was pregnant with my first child. Dr. James Dobson has "timeless" information on raising children. It is common sense and Biblically based and Psychologically sound.I could say the information Dr. Dobson provides is common sense, which it is. However, this generation may have more challenges with understanding it's truths.Rule # 1, you are the Parent, not the friend of your child. When they are and behave as Adults, then you become "friends". They need you to keep them safe, healthy and guide them to grow up to be happy, secure, kind, productive loving Adults.

I was raised using the exact methods that Dobson recommends. I am a well-adjusted, happily married, mother of a five year old boy. I've attempted to use these exact principles to raise my son and so far he is one of the happiest, confident little boys I know. I think many people who reviewed this book have not read it in it's entirety. One of Dobson's strongest points is love. I guess I don't need to expound. The strongest argument for a book is the product of its application. Speaking of which, my sister and many of my friends were also disciplined this way, and they all turned out great :)
