Now Jane Nelsen, distinguished psychologist, educator, and mother of seven, has written a revised and expanded edition. The key to positive discipline is not punishment, she tells us, but mutual respect. Nelsen coaches parents and teachers to be both firm and kind, so that any child–from a three-year-old toddler to a rebellious teenager–can learn creative cooperation and self-discipline with no loss of dignity. Inside you’ll discover how to • bridge communication gaps • defuse power struggles • avoid the dangers of praise • enforce your message of love • build on strengths, not weaknesses • hold children accountable with their self-respect intact • teach children not what to think but how to think • win cooperation at home and at school • meet the special challenge of teen misbehavior “It is not easy to improve a classic book, but Jane Nelson has done so in this revised edition. Packed with updated examples that are clear and specific, Positive Discipline shows parents exactly how to focus on solutions while being kind and firm. If you want to enrich your relationship with your children, this is the book for you.” –Sal Severe, author of How to Behave So Your Children Will, Too! Millions of children have already benefited from the counsel in this wise and warmhearted book, which features dozens of true stories of positive discipline in action. Give your child the tools he or she needs for a well-adjusted life with this proven treasure trove of practical advice. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Dimensions | 5.16 x 0.79 x 7.99 inches | | Edition | Updated | | Isbn 10 | 0345487672 | | Isbn 13 | 978-0345487674 | | Item Weight | 9.6 ounces | | Language | English | | Print Length | 384 pages | | Publication Date | May 30, 2006 | | Publisher | Ballantine Books | ## Images ![Positive Discipline: The Classic Guide to Helping Children Develop Self-Discipline, Responsibility, Cooperation, and Problem-Solving Skills - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/815ixl3nFoL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Be sure to get the newest available edition! *by on Reviewed in the United States November 2, 2017* This is an instance where it is worth the money to pay for a new copy of the latest edition. As Jane herself has evolved and grown in understanding (the whole point of Positive Discipline, for parents and children both), so has the book. The first part of the newest edition spends a good amount of time reflecting back on the beginning in a very helpful way!The most popular review of this book on Amazon seriously lacks understanding of what PD actually is. It is NOT just “talking to your kids about their feelings”. While emotional health is extremely important, and gaining skills in talking about and understanding feelings and how to respond to them (your own and others), a true Positive Discipline response does not stop there. PD is solutions based parenting rather than punishment based, that is all. So the first approach to, say, a child not performing a family task required of them (cleaning their room, say) would be—waiting until AFTER all members of the family are calm and rational—A. Validate/understand why they are choosing not to do it, B. State choices within the boundary of getting the task done, then C. If that fails, moving on to a conversation between parent and child, thinking of a solution and agreement that you then HOLD THE CHILD TO until the task is completed, regularly and on time. Being able to say “what was our agreement?” Is not only much more likely to encourage cooperation than lecturing and yellling is (the child herself came up with the rules alongside you!), but it empowers children to understand their own power, ability and responsibilities, giving them that vital sense of purpose and belonging in the family.If this basic description of how PD works appeals to you, by ALL means buy and read and share this book! I can pretty much promise that actual application of PD will not result in a young person that loses their part-time job because the boss doesn’t care about their “feelings”. 😂 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "A Must Read for Effective Interactions with Children" or "Better Than Off-Brand Tums" *by on Reviewed in the United States March 25, 2016* I got this as a required textbook for my child development class and I absolutely loved it. It was an effortless read that left my hi lighter(s) completely dried out from overuse. It is probably one of my favorite non-fiction books, and it's one I still reference with frequency and have even moved cross country with! I have used the methods described in this book in my professional life and have seen tremendous success *especially with special needs children!!!*It addresses many of the behavioral issues that we (adults and caregivers) are prone to attribute to a child's personality (think "he's a bad kid") or even personal jabs (think "why does my child hate me so much that they would do these things to me?). The book takes an in-depth look at not only why a child is behaving a certain way, but also how to address the child's (understandably) poorly articulated needs which are the crux of behavioral issues. Because of the education it gives on about a child's emotional needs, it offers the reader unique insight that allows them to increase the quality of interactions with children outside of discipline. This holistic approach is why it is incredibly effective. The difference this guide makes would be equivalent to addressing seasickness by simply getting off the boat instead of trying to quell the nausea with moderately helpful off-brand Tums. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellente! *by on Reviewed in the United States October 15, 2011* I have read many parenting books, always trying to stay one step ahead of my monkeys! Most of the books had a few good ideas, but while full of great philosophies, were basically useless in real-time. This book, and the ideas and methods behind Positive Discipline, are totally usable. That's my favorite thing about it. The ideas and psychology in the book have completely changed my outlook on parenting, and the way I view my relationship with my kids. The application of said ideas is simple and do-able. Most every idea has been very easily incorporated into our lives. Initially it was more work to use positive discipline in our home, but as I have really applied the principles, I have seen a change in my kids for the (much) better! We are closer than we have ever been. They are more willing to listen when I talk. We are working together to learn and find solutions to our problems. I get the sense that they feel more validated. Being a parent is so much easier, without all the yelling and spanking and bribing, and... Everything around our home feels more positive and respectful, and I owe it all to "Positive Discipline"! I would recommend this book to anyone with children, who is a chronic "yeller," hates doing that, and wants change but doesn't believe it can happen. And to anyone who wants a better, closer, more positive relationship with their little kiddos. ## Frequently Bought Together - Positive Discipline: The Classic Guide to Helping Children Develop Self-Discipline, Responsibility, Cooperation, and Problem-Solving Skills - The Whole-Brain Child: 12 Revolutionary Strategies to Nurture Your Child's Developing Mind - How to Talk So Kids Will Listen & Listen So Kids Will Talk (The How To Talk Series) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kr/products/4103184-positive-discipline-the-classic-guide-to-helping-children-develop-self](https://www.desertcart.kr/products/4103184-positive-discipline-the-classic-guide-to-helping-children-develop-self) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Korea* *Store origin: KR* *Last updated: 2026-05-31*
