I bought "How to Behave So Your Preschooler Will, Too!" by Sal Severe, Ph.D. mainly as a joke because I liked the title and thought it was cute. Boy was I in for a surprise! It is the best parenting book I've read.
It really gets you into the mind of your child and why he or she engages in the behaviors that really get you. I thought I knew all the strategies, but this is very insightful. Those of you having issues, who think you're doing everything right and can't understand why it's not working will really find this book helpful. It will validate some of the things you are already doing and give you new strategies or ways to fine tune what's already working.
There have been so many posts recently about behavior that I thought I'd share.

Thanks, Ame. I have heard of this book, but I haven't looked into it yet. I can use all the help I can get! I even have a feeling I'm not doing some things right and I'm searching for better alternatives, so this book sounds good.

This book does sound interesting! I love Dr. Sears- The Discipline Book! It really helped me! Just another one to consider!
