While it may be a thankless task, being a good parent involves knowing how and when to administer discipline. The Discipline Miracle provides a unique framework for raising happy, well-adjusted children. The book is based on three fundamental principles:– Be a safe harbor. Give the child a sense of security by being dependable, responsible, and emotionally available.– Be a good boss. Insist on appropriate rules that will make children feel safe, and teach them to use self-control.– Prepare kids for the real world. Give them what they need (boundaries, rules, and consequences), not just what they want.Together, these principles add up to an overarching philosophy on discipline that helps you be the best parent you can be – and raise the best kids!“Among the very best [books on discipline] are...The Discipline Miracle.”  – Washington Post
