Discipline from Birth to Three: How Teen Parents Can Prevent and Deal with Discipline Problems with Babies and Toddlers

I am very impressed by this book. It is well written and in language a teenager can understand. I used this book while preparing to teach a class to pregnant and parenting teens and found that even adults have something to learn by reading this book (although it is certainly not written for an adult reader.) The information is concise and correct. It focuses on positive parenting to improve the parent's self-esteem while teaching the parent to develop the self-esteem of their child. Not only does the book pose the difficulties of being a parent, it also points out support systems and strategies for inproving a child's behavior. Most importantly, the book looks at parenting from an adolecent's point-of-view. The authors did an excellent job of addressing real parenting dilemmas, but they were able to tailor the material to an adolescent's perspective. I also appreciated that the authors included comments from teen parent's in the teen's words. I think all parenting classes should have one book for each student to read.

I thought that this book was very good. I loved the quotes from actual teen parents- I could really relate. The suggestions were very good. The only thing I didnt really like was that there wasn't enough focus on teen parents that were possitive.
