If I Have to Tell You One More Time...The revolutionary program that gets your kids to listen without nagging, reminding, or yelling By Amy McCready, Founder of Positive Parenting Solutions, Inc.

Summary:  
1) Something isn't working if you are not getting through to your child through the usual diplomatic channels!
2) Do you sometimes feel like the parent you DON'T want to be?  If so, read on...
3) Parenting today is different than in earlier generations.  Society is so thoroughly democratic, and kids learn that from everyone around them.  They have a natural desire to "push back" when being ordered around, so the author plans to tell us how to achieve peaceful and respectful communication and parent-child relationships.

Highlights so far:  
Punishment vs. Disciple chapter describes how some "Tried and True" methods of child-rearing are all but effective.  
***Time-outs turn into power-struggles and time-wasters in which children do not learn anything.
***Counting 1-2-3 encourages children to ignore instructions til the last possible moment.

MORE TO COME!
