How do I communicate with an infant who doesn't understand words? How can I effectively teach boundaries to my toddler? Should I ever spank my child?

Highly recommend
Our son's 2nd grade school teacher recommended these books to us and wow were we doing things completely wrong. This information is FOR EVERY parent and teacher. We still have a lot to work on however one step at a time. Thank you!
Montessori Teacher
This book is so helpful for the parents of my students who range in age from eighteen months to 3 1/2 years of age. As a teacher for over 30 years, I have found the Positive Discipline approach the most helpful philosophy in guiding parents towards raising children who are capapble, confident and independent. Very much in keeping with the Montessori philosophy. Highly recommend!
Good book
This book has some great ideas on how to build the foundations for discipline. I do question the validity of having a child sleep alone. I liked that the book mentions co-sleeping and that you should look for more information on it.
Good things not to forget!
This is a great tool with some really good information for parents. Much of the information is good, common sense, but I think it's easy to forget when you're in the middle of dealing with toddler behaviour. I have some of the lines running through my head now as I approach situations. Thank you.
