Discipline That Works: Promoting Self-Discipline in Children (Plume) - Softcover

Dr. Thomas Gordon, author of the phenomenal bestseller "P.E.T. ," expands the system he developed to help parents to encompass teachers and childcare workers. In "Discipline That Works," Gordon provides convincing evidence that punitive discipline is harmful to children and promotes self-destructive behavior and anti-social, aggressive acts. Instead, he offers an important new strategy to help children become more self-reliant, make positive decisions, and control their own behavior.

Dr. Thomas Gordon is the founder of Gordon Training International, an organization that teaches interpersonal skills and organizational systems to managers and supervisors. He is a fellow of the American Psychological Association and a member (and past president) of the California Psychological Association.
