This book REALLY helped me as straight forward and intuitive that it is.There's really only one premise to this book and its stated in the title: Establishing CLEAR, firm, and respectful boundaries. In theory we should all know this but why don't we practice it? Well it seems that society and in particular our parents really shape our parenting style.Once I listened to this and the examples that follow I really had an AHA moment. I immediately started applying it that evening when my 3-year old got home with immediate results. The great thing about this book is that you don't need to listen to all of it to start applying it (even though the author recommends that you do) because again the premise is the same throughout the book. He certainly builds on it with many many examples which someone noted was annoying but repetition is a great way to learn, especially if you are listening to the audiobook like me and doing several other things as well. Not to mention that the book doesn't use tons of explanations but leads by examples which I think most will like. The majority of the book gives and example and then a way to address the situation at hand - real life learning!Okay, back to my 3-year old ... As soon as she came home I had everything ready for her and the new tools in my pocket. Wasn't but 15-minutes until she needed me to give her a firm, clear reminder of a rule. No emotions, drama, or long explanations but just a clear establishment of the rule. Sure enough it worked. That night I had a compliant child who went to bed at 8:30pm which hadn't happened for close to a year.Next day, same thing, and every day thereafter we've had no issues with setting limits and boundaries. Does she test here and there?
