Book Reviews of Kid Cooperation: How to Stop Yelling, Nagging, and Pleading and Get Kids to Cooperate

Book Review: A Lot of Good Advice For Parents but Sometimes Over-Simplistic
Summary: 4 Stars

Kid Cooperation offers a lot of good advice for parents who are looking for a gentle way to teach their children to behave and cooperate. there are a lot of examples of scenerios of kids misbehaving, and solutions of what a parent should do or say to stop the misbehavior. Throughout the book there are reminder pages that summarize ideas that Ms. Pantley presents. Another nice feature is a list of additional reading material that addresses specific behavioral problems.

In general, I felt that while a lot of good advice was given, some of the scenarios were overly-simplistic. For example, in one scenario, Child A is awakened by a cheerul mommy, is lavished with praise, and not reprimanded for an accidental spill. When Child A puts on two-mis-matched shoes and gets ridiculed by friends, she cheerfully laughs it off and says it's the start of a new fashion. Child B is awakened by a not-so-cheerful mommy, is criticized for various things, and reprimanded for an accidental spill. When Child B puts on two mis-matched shoes and gets ridiculed by friends, she falls apart. Well, yes, Child A has had better parenting, but what if Child A was a grumpy old soul, and not a cheerful little girl? What about peer pressure?

I personally prefer Elizabeth Pantley's, The No-Cry Discipline Solution: Gentle Ways to Encourage Good Behavior Without Whining, Tantrums, and Tears: Foreword by Tim Seldin (Pantley). It's a shorter read with the same good advice, minus some of the overly-simplistic examples.
