I had already read several of the Positive Discipline books before I listened to the workshop, so some of the material wasn't new to me. However, I still enjoyed hearing Dr. Nelson explain in her own words several lessons I had read in the books, and it really reinforced those lessons for me. There were also many useful lessons in the workshop that I hadn't read before and I really enjoyed hearing those segments as well. Listening to Dr. Nelson interact with the participants really gave me the feeling that I was there with them and the set included .pdf files of the materials that were used at the workshop. The workshop included some challenging questions from the audience that I would have asked myself, like "your daughter said her friends would be disappointed in her if she drank, but what if she had said her friends would like it?" I felt Dr. Nelson answered this and every other question honestly and I was very impressed that she stayed true to the Positive Discipline principles. The only complaints I have are that some of the first few questions were hard to hear on the audiobook, but the sound was adjusted eventually and I didn't feel like I had missed anything. Also, Dr. Nelson doesn't have the best speaking voice, but by the second CD I had gotten used to it. I definitely recommend this audiobook for anyone, even (or maybe, especially) if you haven't already read some of her books.
After months of work editing a full day workshop down to the best 4 hours I can say this is the best and most complete Positive Discipline Audio product available. Disk 5 contains a PDF workbook for each disk so you can participate in the activities just like you were attending the workshop. Also on disk 5 contains many mp3 audio podcasts, questions and answers with Dr. Nelsen, and coaching sessions. As a special bonus disk 5 also has several pdf e-books for your reference. This has to be the best value of all the Positive Discipline products. I hope you enjoy it. If is out of stock you can also get them from the publisher, Stone Vista Media.
I really enjoyed it. Couldn't stop listening. Jane is really good, the whole thing is built really well, flows. I really like the role modeling excercise, parents int he workshop got to experience the world from a child's place. My husband is listening to it now (I hope) and I plan on listening to it again and will recommend it. It's a really good program. It doesn't cover ALL the Positive Discipline tools but gives the general attitude. For the full tool kit you need tor ead the book,which is also excellent.
Great price for the audio CDs; we found this workshop very helpful for disciplining our toddler in a positive manner.
Many OTHER positive parenting guidelines depend on bribes, intricate plans/contracts (if you do - then I do) and sometimes inappropriate power to the child (i.e. "if your child does not want to talk about it - come back later"). This CD is really refreshing! Only one CD of 4 was "weak". Even my husband is inspired to try the suggestions and perspective given here. Just a few take aways: 1) kids need self esteem and get it when you take a little more time (when things are going well) to empower them. 2) Rather than "no" model appropriate options and help them come to these conclusions (let them talk!) - so they buy in (rather than suffer your lecture). 3) Treat siblings equally and talk less about conflict. YES, we already know this stuff - but this CD helps you refocus your good intentions. I really recommend it and I am very sceptical of this line of parenting style (I dont want spoiled children).
