My current bedside book is The new Dare to Discipline.  The same book that we gave away in our primary site, MarriageandBeyond’s 2nd anniversary. Our parenting style is essentially influenced by Dr. James Dobson. Another favorite book that has made an impact on us is The New Strong Willed Child. Parenting a toddler need not be a power struggle, you just have to let the message across, in a loving manner to your child (who does not know better) who is in charge.  

Having seen the benefits for ourselves, of the principles shared in both books are enough proof that they work.  Our son may be as restless as the rest of other toddlers his age, but he does know who is in charge.  A word of warning though, parents do not have the right to spanking unless they have a “real relationship” with their child.  This secures the child of parental love.  More word on this later on my review of the book.
