I wish I had heard about this system long ago because it would've helped me with raising my now15-yr old daughter. I have tried and seen for myself how much easier it is to use the 5 steps in disciplining/teaching all of my kids including my boys ages 5 and 2 than the way I was raised.

No screaming, spanking or stressing! I'm all for avoiding all three! Tonia Capitulo, Livermore, CA |
