This is a quick read that gives you simple advice for raising kids. I could use most of the ideas immediately. I love that the methods respect the child's AND the adult's needs. Highly recommend!

What a wonderful book! It's an easy to understand and follow approach that made my wife and I not only focus on our child's behaviors in a more constructive way, but also on our own. We only just got this book a short time ago, and the early implementation of it's teachings has already significantly reduced our son's "outbursts" and those that remain are short lived and becoming less and less frequent. We are happier parents and our son is a happier boy for having been exposed to this book.

If you are a parent with similar circumstances---or if you are a mental care professional, this is a book that can improve your life!

Thanks Dr. Baker.

This is an amazing book! I have a six year old daughter with Autism who has major meltdowns and I've read and tried everything under the sun with no success. That all changed when we implemented the ideas in Jed Baker's book. It is a quick read loaded with proven techniques for managing many behavior problems. So many books I've read in the past provide you with theories that are not so easy to implement. This book gives you step-by-step instructions for improving countless behavior problems. If you are struggling with meltdowns, do yourself a favor and purchase this book, it truly is the answer you've been looking for!

Excellent Resource For Parents and Teachers!!!!

Jed Baker presents a wonderful PRACTICAL approach to managing those "melting moments". As a professional and a parent, I have found this book, as well as his others, to be utterly indispensible. Dr. Baker presents clear ways for parents and professionals to help children in the "falling apart moment" - rather than engaging in power struggles. This one should definitely be on your shelf!
No More Meltdowns: Positive Strategies for Managing and Preventing Out-Of-Control Behavior

A Must Have

Parenting doesn't come with an instruction book, but thanks to Dr. Baker we can use No More Meltdowns. It's a practical, hands-on guide that helps you to understand WHY certain behaviors happen. I've struggled through so many of the scenarios he describes and I especially appreciate his Quick Reference Guides. This book has helped me (and my children) in so many ways that I've started giving it as a baby shower gift!!

Excellent resource for managing the peace in my household!

I found this book to be incredibly helpful because it gives specific information about how to manage my kids behavior. I have 3 kids ranging in age from 5-11 and I think that the specific examples of situations and how they were dealt with to be very informative. I have already implemented some of what I read with very good results. I've read many parenting books and have usually found them to be written in a complicated way. This book uses every day language with practical advice on how to have a more harmonious relationship with my kids. I highly recommend this book.

Thanks for the book!

What I liked about Dr. Baker's book is how sympathetic he sounds to those of us who deal daily with children with emotional and cognitive disorders or just plain difficulties. At the same time, he doesn't let us off the hook nor lull us into thinking that our responses to explosive situations, however understandable and legitimate, may not be the right ones. He clearly has the hands-on experience, both with kids and with those who care for and work with them. He gives just the right amount of personal anecdote to balance the more academic research data. He graciously recommends books and articles written by others working in the field, while synthesizing their many approaches. And importantly, he addresses teachers and parents both, which hopefully helps all of us to think of each other as teammates rather than assigners or bearers of blame. Plus, he gives lots of good, practical suggestions. Thanks for No More Meltdowns!

Dr. Baker's book is highly informative and very user friendly. It is a great resource for parents and professionals. He gives specific suggestions and uses proven behavioral techniques. I found this book helpful both for my own children and in my practice as a Board Certfied Behavior Analyst (BCBA).
