👎 Skip It
This one lays out nine solid, practical positive-discipline strategies and does a nice job explaining how little kids' brains actually develop, which busy parents will appreciate. I just couldn't find any independent reviews to back up the promotional claims, so take the polish with a grain of salt. Narrator Jennifer Allton does bring good energy to the read, for what it's worth.
