A Better Childhood ...without discipline is a new and yet obvious way to look at raising our children. This book is filled with real life examples that explore the importance of "connectedness" to resolve everyday challenges. Many bookshelves are loaded with books on how to manage time-outs and set limits, but nurturing a relationship of trust and understanding with your child is the driving force for a peaceful and enjoyable household. Reading this book made me realize that my relationship with my daughter has a far more lasting impact on her than a time-out in her bedroom. Think outside the box and read this book.

A Better Childhood...without discipline by Dr. Theron Alexander should be in every parent's home. If truly comprehended and taken to heart, parents would have a Better Adulthood.

This book provides a new way of seeing childhood and family life. As the mother of two grown boys, I agree that happy children learn more easily and effectively than those who do not feel loved unconditionally. Parenting is difficult but the author talks about connectedness which reminds us to have patience, trust, positive regard, and affection for our children which builds a strong relationship.
