A discipline book....but, not necessarily a parenting book.....

[nextcommercial]

Has anybody read a book about children and discipline, that doesn't have to be about parenting?  

How about Barbara Coloroso?  Would you recommended any of her books?  

I just need a refresher course.  I'm starting to get lazy with my toddler/preschool group, and slipping into the old "Go Play" or "Tell him you don't like that".

I loved Barbara Coloroso's book as well, only I found most of her suggestions would work best for older children, not really very helpful at the ages of 4 and 5 or younger(my kiddo's). Here are 2 other books that I love and found extremely helpful:

*Easy to love, difficult to discipline

*Respectful parents respectful kids
