"Every year, I read most of the parenting books that are published
in English, and Discipline Without Damage: How To Get Your Kids To
Behave Without Messing Them Up, by Dr. Vanessa Lapointe, is one of
the five best parenting books that I've read in the past five
years... I hope that this book makes it onto the short list of
every parent. I think it can change the world."
Dr. Laura Markham, PhD, Founding editor of AhaParenting.com and
author of Peaceful Parent, Happy Kids
"In Discipline Without Damage, Dr. Vanessa Lapointe explores the
important question of why we discipline rather than just how. We
need to question the notion that the only way to raise happy,
capable and caring future adults is to punish children when they
don't behave according to our wishes. In fact, by showing that
children really need kindness, fairness and a caring, safe
environment, Dr. Lapointe has created a trustworthy resource for
parents."
Maggie Dent, Author of 9 Things: A Back-to Basics Guide to Calm,
Common-sense, Connected Parenting Birth
"In this eloquent book, Dr. Lapointe makes a powerful case for
disciplining our children without power struggles, manipulation or
control. An insightful guide for all parents!"
Dr. Shefali Tsabary, PhD, Author of the New York Times bestselling
book The Conscious Parent
"This book is a must-read for all parents who know what feels right
about disciplining their kids, but have been advised to do the
opposite. Dr. Lapointe combines scientific theory with her wealth
of experience working with children, and gives clear examples of
how to put it all into practice. Read this book and see the results
in your happy, well-adjusted child."
Barbara Fitzgerald M.D. FRCP(C), Developmental pediatrician and
Clinical associate professor, University of British Columbia
"I love this book! It's a rare combination of science-based,
practical,
respectful, and effective discipline."
Dr. Tina Payne Bryson, PhD, Co-author of the New York Times
bestselling books The Whole-Brain Child and No-Drama Discipline
"In Discipline without Damage, Dr. Lapointe shows why communication
and connection are so important for our children. And why it is
especially important for us adults to discipline ourselves so that
we don't go down the path of disconnection in the name of good
behavior. Read this book and discover creative ways to be with your
children and respect them for who they are."
Vikram Vij, Chef, sommelier, and co-owner of Vij's group of
companies
"I am delighted to see a book that in theory and practice shows
parents how to regulate their children's immature behaviors in
constructive ways... If when we go to regulate our children's
behavior we think, 'Do I want my child to grow up to treat others
this way?' we will be much more inclined to use the techniques
advocated in this book."
Dr. Martha H. Pieper, PhD, Author of Smart Love: The Comprehensive
Guide to Understanding, Regulating, and Enjoying Your Child
"Dr. Lapointe has given parents, family members and the
professionals who work with them a wonderful gift. Discipline
Without Damage should be required reading for us all. Written from
a deep pool of experience and knowledge, this practical book helps
us understand what children need to thrive."
Dana Brynelsen, OBC, LLD, Former provincial advisor, Infant
Development Program of BC
