I adore books. I love the feel of books, the smell of books, the covers of books and what books teach us. So, basically I love books.

Anyone have any suggestions for good reading material please post away.

Transforming the Difficult Child: The Nurtured Heart Approach
Book by Howard Glasser, MA, and Jennifer Easley, MA;

"The Nurtured Heart Approach involves bombarding kids with positive statements, while treating misbehavior with unemotional time-outs.

Book's emphasis on ADHD hides the fact that the approach works for other special needs, too.

Some kids are just more intense than others. Their reactions are bigger, their actions more headstrong, their misdeeds more passionate. One solution to that intensity has been to tamp it down, through medication or strict discipline. “Transforming the Difficult Child” suggests another: Channeling that intensity into more positive, productive expression. This approach has the added benefit of focusing parents on the positive, too."

I was a little put off by the title when this book first came out. I don't really like the word "difficult" in there, but that's just me. I'm over it now.

If anyone has any good book recommendations I'd love to see them.
Thanks,
