Product Description
From Amazon
Single parenting can be overwhelming and highly stressful, and single parents have relatively few written guides at their disposal to help them through the challenges. Positive Discipline for Single Parents is one of the best. Like all of Jane Nelsen's books (Positive Discipline: The First Three Years, Positive Discipline A-Z, and others), Positive Discipline for Single Parents is as much about general positive parenting skills as it is about the smaller subset of discipline. Nelson and her assorted coauthors write books that focus on raising children with nonpunitive discipline, through clear communication techniques and child-positive approaches to problem solving. Nelson's parenting recommendations incorporate understanding misbehavior; encouragement, praise, trust, and respect for children; the use of firm, wise limits; and allowing and providing for natural and logical consequences for misbehavior. In Positive Discipline for Single Parents, Nelson and her collaborators deal with these issues and more, including ways to face the challenges presented by the children's other parent, and how to help your child accept your dating and sex life. They provide solutions, solace, and respite for parents trying to raise kids on their own without losing their minds. --Ericka Lutz

No real useful information in this book.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Positive Discipline for Single Parents, Revised and Updated 2nd Edition: Nurturing Cooperation, Respect, and Joy in Your Single-Parent Family (Paperback)
This book is weak on real ideas. Parenting is parenting and nothing in this book should be new information to any single parent or any parent. A better book is, How to Behave So your Children Will, Too! By Sal Severe. Just read the chapter on divorce with a grain of salt. It is short anyway.

Great book for stressed single moms!,
By Melissa D. (Harbor Springs, MI United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Positive Discipline for Single Parents, Revised and Updated 2nd Edition: Nurturing Cooperation, Respect, and Joy in Your Single-Parent Family (Paperback)
I borrowed this book from the library and loved it so much that I decided I needed to make it a part of my own library at home. So many times as single parents we are stressed beyond belief by the world that we forget that it is just as hard on the children as well as ourselves. This book helps single parents to think through some of the traps of parenting that we fall into. It has had many wonderful effects on my four year old son. It takes some time to get out of the normal sequence, but once you do you will see that it really makes a difference.

mostly for divorced parents,
By A Customer
This review is from: Positive Discipline for Single Parents (Paperback)
I liked the book, but I was disapointed to find out that it was written mostly for divorced people.It should be mentioned in the title or sub-title.
