Love the book - IT WORKS!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I bought this book specifically for the chapter on pacifiers b/c my daughter was ADDICTED to her pacifiers! We tried the "THree Day Method" and IT WORKED! I even sent an email to Dr. Brenner thanking him for this wonderful solution and he replied immediately with kind words and some encouragement. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! Now I have to read the rest of the book! LOL!
felt like a life saver!

WOW! I now realize that losing my own rabbits' foot or favorite t-shirt would cause me a similar kind of stress, to the kind my 7 year old son might feel if he lost his favorite talking Woody action figure. This book made me think more about his relationships with his stuff. I guess we're all attached to different things.
Great Information

I never realized the importance of transitional objects until reading this book. With this new understanding, I no longer make my 8 year old feel like a baby just because she still sleeps with her doll. I also learned how to encourage and increase her independence. I recommend this book to any first time parent! Monica, Elmont New York
So helpful! So smart! Thank you Dr. Brenner!

My 20 month old continues to tantrum non stop when she doesn't have her pacifier nearby. This great guide book helped my husband and I break Samantha's habit simple and easy. Great advice, I wish I had this with my first two kids. Also, thanks for the tips on helping us stop calling our kids by pet names. They really do prefer their own names! Kathryn, Texas, mother of 3
