First the Broccoli, Then the Ice Cream: A Parent’s Guide to Deliberate Discipline

Don’t be misled by the title… this is not a book about how to get your kids to eat their veggies, though it can certainly help with that issue, along with giving you guidance on how to tackle a lot of other behavior problems many parents face every day. Dr. Tim Riley uses common sense, clinical experience and a healthy dose of humor to explain the reasons behind these all too common and often frustrating behaviors and what you as a parent can do about them. Among the many tools presented in this can-do book, parents will learn:

• Four (or maybe five) really useful principles of behavior
  
• Six simple (but not always easy) steps to more effective discipline and motivation
  
• What to do when you like what your child is doing, and when you don’t
  
• Specific responses to some of the most common problem behaviors
