Since it's parenting styles day - recommend your favorite parenting book. While time outs have been working for us we really do have a lot of discipline issues in our house. Over a year ago I tried Parenting the Strong Willed Child but I think it was too soon and we had a few too many communication limitations to work through the program properly. I'm willing to give it another shot but I'd like to see if anyone else has any suggestions especially those who commented in the time out threads!

Yep. But I read Unconditional Parenting first (Alfie Kohn is very anti-timeouts), which is more the reasoning behind. How to Talk so Kids Will Listen is like the companion that's filled with the actual how-tos, and none of it is cheesy or ridiculously unnatural. Like Lotte, I plan to keep it in my bedside table and revisit every six months or so. It's FABULOUS and very quick and easy to read.
There are also workshops you can take from lots of differently named but similar groups, like Positive Parenting or Non-violent Communication. And in LA, the Echo Center.
