"As a progressive educator, school leader, and parent of twin boys, I find Nelsen, Bill, and Marchese's advice to be as timeless as it is timely, as profound as it is simple, and as inspiring as it is instructive. The authors give us permission to humanize both ourselves and our children, and they remind us that effective parenting involves being with rather than doing to our kids." (Ed Lippard, EdD, dean of Children's Programs and head of the School for Children at Bank Street College of Education)

"This is a welcome book for all parents juggling work and raising children. With an understanding of the complexities of career and families, the authors address what matters most for children - to be understood and nurtured, especially when they are having a hard time. This caring and straightforward approach will help parents know what their children need and empower them to stay connected while providing appropriate limits." (Tovah P. Klein, PhD, executive director, Barnard College Center for Toddler Development)

"Now more than ever, it is critical that parents impart in their children an intrinsic and upbeat tool kit for self-discipline, empathy and developing character. Positive Discipline for Today’s Busy (and Overwhelmed) Parent is a compassionate, practical, and psychologically grounded guide for parents who are eager to stay connected to their children in real life, helping them face life challenges with self-control and optimism." (Dr. Catherine Steiner-Adair, author of The Big Disconnect:  Protecting Childhood and Family Relationships in the Digital Age)
