Raising Cooperative Kids: Proven Practices for a Connected, Happy Family (Parenting Book for Readers of The Whole-Brain Child)

This book is so well-written and down-to-earth. It gives great ideas on how to teach children to behave in a positive way. At the same time, it also gives a sound explanation for when/how to set limits. The best thing about this book is that it puts parents in the driver's seat to guide their children while still having a connected relationship with them. This book is based on a lot of research with real kids and families, yet it is fun and easy to read! I highly recommend this book for parents, or for professionals who work with children and their families.

Clear step by step instructions based on behavior learning principles of encouragement, shaping, and effective, efficient discipline. It is evidence based! Years of research have gone into the making of this system. Make this a reading group book which focuses on chapters and support each other in making lasting changes. Be a safe family to your children-not coercive but cooperative.

Everyone should read this book. It applies not only to your children, but to your spouse and co-workers!

There were actually a few concrete suggestions which I was able to implement, and worked to a large degree.

This book helps me find structure in motivating my kids to demonstrate positive behavior

Love this book!

Great and unexpected find! Practical and research based strategies to help make every member of the family cooperative!!
