Written by licensed therapists Janie and Roger Peterson, Mini Methods or Madness: Small Steps that Make BIG Changes in Your Kids’ Behavior is a practical-minded collection of simple “how-to” techniques to teach children better behavior while cultivating enduring bonds with them. Each method is easy to internalize and use, such as the importance of limiting excessive verbosity used to communicate when a child is naughty (an estimated “one word per year of life” sentence structure is recommended when communicating parental displeasure), the giving an immediate consequence for unacceptable behavior, refraining from yelling at children, and refraining from giving warnings, which only reinforce the idea that obedience is not required the first time a child is given an instruction. In addition to useful strategies, Mini Methods or Madness also offers a plain-terms overview of why these techniques work and why other methods such as negotiating with or bribing children, or continually repeating instructions without enforcing consequences, rarely have the desired effect of improving behavior or teaching children the self-control and discipline they will need as adults. Enthusiastically recommended for parents, babysitters, and anyone who works with children on a professional or personal basis.
