Go to Your Room: Consequences That Teach

Old-school parenting techniques. I was hoping to find better alternatives to sending my child to her room with a modern approach, but this book just stated the obvious. Good formatt, but I didn’t like the approaches suggested.

Anyone looking for ideas on logical consequences will find this book helpful. It's brief and too the point offering specific suggestions for back talk, etc. One of the most helpful parenting books I've read and I've read them all!

Awesome book! Love the creativity of the consequences that Shari collected in this book, a must for any home with children, but my only recommendation is that you read over the book ahead of time before you have to use the consequences for real or your child will be up to something.

I'm a family counselor, and have given this book out to many parents. The consequences suggested are very applicable and effective in dealing with disobedience and bad behavior.

I love this book. It gives you great ideas of consequences for kids according to what age they are. Some of the consequences make me laugh and I could see how they will be affective. I have been to parenting classes and have read through a lot of parenting material but this has been favorite so far and the most affective. I have seen a lot of changes with my two girls and I (7 yr, and 12yr old) since I have implemented some of the stuff in this book. It would make a great present for parents. I am going to buy all my sisters one.

for most parents. It goes into the why and the how of house rules, consequences, and follow through; very important. The use of natural and logical consequences is explained too. Gives specific examples of misbehaviors and different ways to deal with each. Ways that will TEACH the children why rules are fair or important. Ways that will reinforce your expectations when they decide to test your rules without having to resort to the sad, "Because I Said So." Children sometimes need to be reminded who is in control but the parent needn't be a dictator. If you want to teach your children, this is a good resource. If you like to tell your kids what to do, you probably wouldn't like this book.
